Canada's men's basketball team defeated the Bahamas 113-77 in 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifying action on Monday.

It was the second win in as many days for Canada over the Bahamas in the Dominican Republic.

Kyle Wiltjer led all scorers with 25 points, shooting 8-for-15 from the field, while Thomas Scrubb pitched in with 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
