This is the best summary I could come up with:

Canada won the bronze-medal match at the FIBA men’s Basketball World Cup on Sunday in Manila, Philippines.

Dillon Brooks scored 39 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 points and 12 assists and Canada — after surviving a miracle from Mikal Bridges that forced overtime — won a medal at a global men’s basketball tournament for the first time in 87 years by topping the U.S. 127-118 in the third-place game at the World Cup on Sunday.

The lone previous win came at a FIBA Americas event in 2005, a game that wasn’t loaded with big-name NBA players.

He made the first free throw, intentionally missed the second and ran down the rebound as it bounced toward the right corner.

Kelly Olynyk nearly won it for Canada on the final play of regulation with a 30-footer that hit the back iron as time expired, and to overtime they went, tied at 111-111.

Canada’s only other medal in a tournament of this magnitude — World Cup or Olympics — came in 1936, when it lost 19-8 to the U.S. in the gold-medal matchup at the Berlin Games.
