USA faces Canada in the FIBA Basketball World Cup third place game on Sunday, September 10, 2023 (9/10/23) at Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
MANILA, Philippines — A week ago, USA Basketball’s men’s senior national program held an all-time record of 97-0 when scoring 100 points in games at the Olympics or the World Cup.There’s the story. Win or lose the bronze-medal game against Canada on Sunday, this U.S. World Cup team will fly home in a couple days lamenting how it just couldn’t get stops when it needed them most. And there will be no defense for having no defense.
Germany 113, U.S. 111 in the semifinals was the ultimate undoing. Other U.S. losses in recent memory have been rationalized by how the officiating is different in the FIBA game, how most international teams have continuity from running the same system with mostly the same players for years, how the game just keeps getting better overseas. All true, but all that also misses the boat when talking about this semifinal.
“That’s good for the sport, right? That’s good for FIBA, for basketball, for the fans, to let everybody know that the rest of the world is here to play,” Anthony said. “And now everybody has to think differently on their approach on how to win a gold medal.” The Americans are the only team to give up 110 points more than once in this World Cup. That might be the craziest stat of the tournament.
