Turks slam Canada 84-53

Turkey scored the first 9 points of the game, led 17-6 midway through the first quarter and by 17 at the half on the way to an easy victory against Canada on the second day of the Efes Pilsen World Cup in Turkey.  The Turks had 4 players in double figures and extended their lead to as much as 37 in the second half against a Canadian side that could must only 33 points by the end of the third quarter.  Turkey got 9 points from 6'10" ex-Toronto Raptor Hedo Turkoglu and played without 6'7" Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan İlyasova, who is expected to play in the FIBA World Championships.  6'11" Mehmet Okur of the Utah Jazz will unfortunately miss the tournament for Turkey as he recovers from injury but should be ready to begin the NBA season in October.  6'9" Kelly Olynyk led Canada (0-2 in the tournament, 1-4 in Europe, 4-4 overall in pre-tournament games) with 9 points.  6'7" Aaron Doornekamp had 10 rebounds for Canada.
