During a 71-67 comeback win by Canada against Serbia in women's basketball pool play at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Monday, the loudest outbursts may have been coming from Darnell Nurse's home in Toronto.
The Edmonton Oilers defenseman's younger sister, Kia, the starting point guard for Canada, was leading it back after being down by 18 points in what's become a habit of big performances for her in international competition. She led the game with 25 points.
"My neighbors probably think I'm crazy because I just sit around here and scream for her and jump up and down," Darnell said.
