Canada's 3x3 basketball team wins Women's Series Final, capping unbeaten run

Canada's 3x3 women's basketball team put the perfect finish on its 2022 season Sunday, winning the Constanta Finals in Romania with a 21-16 final victory over France. 

The Canadian squad entered the weekend as the top-ranked team and went undefeated through the preliminary games against Romania, France and Lithuania before beating Germany in the semifinal and France in the final. 

Early in Sunday's final, both Plouffe sisters missed layups, but Canada rebounded from an early six-point deficit, scoring an unanswered nine points, which drove them toward the championship. 

Michelle led the team with a game-high 14 points in the final as the Canadian team featuring this roster went undefeated when they played together. 

"We had confidence in each other, we knew we could make stops, and the rest of our defence is really important because if we know we can make stops, we can turn it into buckets, so we just stayed consistent," Michelle said after the final. "We were gritty, and we just fought through it. It's been a crazy summer."
