Team USA’s FIBA World Cup run came to a heartbreaking end Sunday when the Americans lost to Canada in dramatic fashion. Of course, it didn’t stop the internet from rubbing it in.
Team USA lost the bronze medal game 127–118 in overtime and will come back stateside empty-handed. Anthony Edwards led the Americans with 24 points but was outshined by Canada’s Dillon Brooks, who scored 39 points on 7-for-8 shooting from three-point range to lead all scorers.
Yes, the same Dillon Brooks who was mercilessly ridiculed for the Grizzlies’ loss to the Lakers in the playoffs and was subsequently traded to the Rockets. Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points for the Canadians as well.
