Canada Defeats USA in Overtime to Win Bronze Medal at FIBA World Cup
Dillon Brooks and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Power Canada to Its First-Ever FIBA World Cup Medal
After decades of being the dominant basketball team in the world, the United States suffered a stunning defeat to Canada in the semifinals of the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The loss marked the first time that the United States had failed to reach the gold medal game since 2006.
Canada's victory was a major upset, as they were not considered to be one of the favorites heading into the tournament. However, they played with great heart and determination, and they were able to overcome a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to force overtime. In overtime, Canada pulled away from the United States, winning by a score of 127-118.
The loss was a major disappointment for the United States, but it also served as a wake-up call. The team will need to make some changes if they want to return to the top of the basketball world. The 2024 Olympics will be held in Paris, France, and the United States will be looking to reclaim their gold medal.
