Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 27 points, 16 in the third quarter, and had six assists, and six rebounds.
The Latvians' early 12-point lead in the opening frame was quickly erased by SGA & Co. who led the rest of the way en route to an eventual blowout win.
In three group stage games, Canada has won by 37 points per game.
But a tougher second round awaits the North American side against defending champion Spain and either Brazil or Ivory Coast.

The scores:
Canada (101) - Gilgeous-Alexander 27, Barrett 22, Olynyk 15, Alexander-Walker 14, Powell 6, Brooks 6, Scrubb 6, Alexander 3, Edey 2, Ejim 0, Bell-Haynes 0.
