Team USA wasn't even able to defeat Canada for the Bronze medal, and now the failure is complete for the Americans, even with Anthony Edwards & Austin Reaves

If the failure of not playing for the gold medal wasn't enough, this version of Team USA wasn't even able to get the bronze medal against Canada. To make things worse, it didn't matter that the Lakers guard Austin Reaves had a great night, Dillon Brooks was the star of the night.

 

Brooks got his way, as the former Memphis Grizzlies star was the best scorer of the day with 39 points against Team USA. Brooks also had 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Reaves was the second-best scorer for the United States group, only behind the starter Anthony Edwards who scored 24 points and had 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Austin had a good night by scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, but wasn't enough to help Team USA to avoid the defeat against Canada. The FIBA World Cup ended with humiliation with a total of three losses.

 

Despite the outcome for Team USA, Reaves was a standout

Team USA failed, there's no other way to put it, especially now that the group wasn't able to get the bronze medal, Still, Austin Reaves proved that he belonged on this stage and outplayed most of his peers this tournament. Now is time for Reaves to bring his A-game to the Lakers.
