Despite an improbable comeback from Team USA, the tandem of Dillon Brooks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander propelled Canada to a 127-118 overtime win on Sunday. With the loss, USA’s FIBA World Cup stint ends in disappointing fashion.
The Canadian national team was already a formidable opponent heading into the game, and coupled with the U.S. missing Brandon Ingram, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Paolo Banchero, it was too much for the Americans to overcome.
Anthony Edwards led the U.S. in points with 24 and Austin Reaves had a great performance with 23 points in 33 minutes of play.
