LAS VEGAS, USA - Canada made history on Sunday, securing their first-ever medal at a FIBA Basketball World Cup after a thrilling 127-118 win over Team USA in the Game for the 3rd Place.

The victory marks a significant milestone for Canadian basketball and adds a new dimension to the storied rivalry between Canada and USA. For decades, the Americans have dominated the sport, but Canada's historic win suggests that the balance of power is shifting.

In a high-scoring affair, Dillon Brooks led the way for Canada with a game-high 39 points, while Jamal Murray added 26 points and Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 23. Team USA was led by Jalen Brunson's 22 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Canada's hot shooting.

The win is a major triumph for Canada's young but talented team and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the players and coaches.
