Canada and Germany are currently facing off in the semifinal matchup of the women's 3x3 basketball tournament, with the winner earning the right to challenge Spain in the final.
The game is characterized by its fast-paced nature and pick-up basketball rules. Teams must bring the ball behind the three-point line to transition from defense to offense. Shots made inside the arc count as one point, while shots made from beyond the three-point line count as two points. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game.
One notable feature of the game is the 12-second shot clock, which adds an element of urgency and requires teams to make quick decisions. This contrasts with the 24-second shot clock used in the NBA's full-court game, emphasizing the fast-paced nature of 3x3 basketball.
Currently, Canada has taken an early lead with a score of 5-4. The losing team in this matchup will face the USA in the bronze medal game later tonight.
