It wasn't the best game that Kia Nurse played in the FIBA Americas Women's Championship but with her Canada team beating Brazil to move one win away from a spot in next year's Olympics, I'm sure the UConn guard wasn't complaining.
After missing her first six shots of the game Nurse hit a 3-pointer to give Canada a five-point lead with 1:41 left in the first half. She finished with nine points on 2 of 10 shooting to go with four rebounds, two assists and three steals in the 83-66 victory.
Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe came off the bench to score 18 points, Miranda Ayim had 11 points and
Miah-Marie Langlois added 10 points and 7 assists for Canada, which has to beat Cuba tomorrow to punch a ticket to the Olympics.
