In a mixed game between the teams eliminated in the semi-finals, the United States beat the Canadians 84-80 to claim the bronze medal of the tournament.
For USA, Zylan Cheatham, unstoppable in the painted zone, scored 16 points and, alongside Gary Clark, was the highlight of the bronze-medal team at Americup.
