It was a close game throughout with the Power up 18-11 in the first quarter. Tyler Murray had a hot start, scoring three 3 pointers. The Power played tough and aggressive defense, which threw China off their game but also created many foul problems for the Power. By halftime, China was up 32-30 and only continued expanding their lead slowly. China got up to a 6 point lead by the end of the third. The Power pushed back and got the game to within three with 20 seconds remaining but ultimately fell short. 

Play continues tomorrow as the Power Canadian Development Team takes on New Zealand and look for their first win of the tournament.
