Plouffe twins lead the way as Canada downs Australia 22-14 in 3×3 basketball
Twin sisters Katherine and Michelle Plouffe combined for 18 points as Canada opened its run at the Olympic women’s 3×3 basketball tournament with a 22-14 win over Australia.
Katherine Plouffe had a game-high 10 points and added three rebounds while Michelle Plouffe led Canada with five rebounds to go with eight points.
Canada jumped out to 15-2 lead and then coasted to the win.
“It is about defence. It was important for us to get stops and rebounds and just come out locked in on defence and that was the game plan there. A lead like that is huge. It was a testament to all the work we have done,” said Michelle Plouffe.
