The Canadians won the first medal in their history in a World Cup.
The maple leaf players won the match for third place (127-118) against the United States, who won overtime, Sunday in Manila.
It is also the first time since the United States sent a team composed entirely of NBA players to the World Cup that Team USA has missed the podium two editions in a row. She was eliminated in the quarter-finals in 2019.
The Canadians were pushed into overtime when they probably thought they had done the hard part by taking a four-length lead (111-107) with four seconds left in regulation time. Launched by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points in total), who scored the first seven points in overtime, the Canadians quickly took the lead.
