PHOTOS: Best images from Canada’s 127-118 OT win over USA for 3rd-place finish
Here are the best photos from Canada’s 127-118 OT win over the United States to finish in 3rd place for the 2023 FIBA World Cup:
Despite not advancing to the finals, Canada concluded its impressive summer campaign with a third-place finish in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
Canada escaped the comeback by the United States in its 127-118 overtime win to finish with bronze medals.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was excellent for Canada in its nine-point win. He finished with 31 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 12 assists and six rebounds. Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Lu Dort also played an important role with 11 points and six rebounds off the bench.
Let’s look at some of the best photos from Canada’s OT win as it finished third in the final World Cup standings.
2023 FIBA World Cup: SGA leads Canada to 3rd-place finish with 127-118 OT win vs. United States
SGA saved his best FIBA performance for last as he leads Canada to a 3rd-place finish with an OT win against the United States.
Creating space on the stepback, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a pivotal 3-pointer to put Canada up by five points.
He served a bit of revenge on Mikal Bridges by making him bite and slip on the stepback.
After hitting a late go-ahead midrange bucket to give Canada a two-point lead with 34.6 seconds left, Bridges stole Gilgeous-Alexander’s potential game-winner and he hit a ridiculous 3-pointer following a missed free throw to force overtime.
No harm, no foul though. Gilgeous-Alexander was phenomenal in overtime as Canada defeated the United States, 127-118. The win gave Canada third place in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, its best finish in event history.
After leading 91-82 after three quarters, Canada’s lead slowly slipped away as the United States erased what had been a 13-point deficit at its largest.
It felt like the United States used all its juice just to simply force overtime because it looked fatigued in the final five minutes. In anti-climatic fashion, Canada won the OT period 16-7.
It appears not playing in the finals didn’t leave a sour taste in Gilgeous-Alexander’s mouth. He was arguably the best player on the court that featured several prominent NBA players.
In 40 minutes, he had 31 points on 11-of-20 shooting, 12 assists and six rebounds. He also went a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. He led Canada to the win with seven points in OT — tying the USA’s total point production in the extra five minutes.
Gilgeous-Alexander concluded his summer campaign with his best performance yet and was the face of Canada’s best FIBA World Cup run in program history.
Lu Dort also played an important role in Canada’s impressive win. In 32 minutes off the bench, he had 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting, six rebounds and two assists. He was part of its closing lineup and played the fourth-most minutes.
Let’s look at instant reactions and highlights from Canada’s nine-point overtime win.

After Canada licks its wound, it’ll play for the bronze medal against the United States. Fans wanted a matchup against both of these teams, but they likely envisioned it’d be for the gold medal instead of the No. 3 place in the final standings.

Hike with llamas and do goat yoga at this charming Wyoming ranch
Go hiking or fishing alongside llamas.
Have you ever packed your lunch for a hike based on its weight rather than its deliciousness? There’s no need to scrimp on gourmet fixings when you have a llama to carry your picnic basket for you. A llama hike and picnic is just one experience Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming offers its guests. Plus, there’s a herd of darling goats. You can book a pasture goat walk where you’ll stroll through a pasture while Alpine, Nubian, and Nigerian Dwarf goats cavort around you.
Where is this magical land of goats and llamas? Brush Creek Ranch is located at the North Platte River Valley of south-central Wyoming, between the Sierra Madre mountain range and Medicine Bow National Forest. The ranch owns 30,000 private acres, including lakes, creeks, rivers, and a 600-acre ski mountain. The nearest town is Saratoga, population 1,727.
Guests can hike with llamas in the Snowy Mountain Range, Sierra Madres, Medicine Bow National Forest, and the ranch’s private Green Mountain. In addition to hiking, the llamas can accompany you fly fishing, where they’ll hold all your gear.
Or your family can enroll in Llamas 101, where you learn to groom the llamas, feed them, play with the babies (called crias), and, of course, have the most darling family photo shoot ever.
You can learn more about the goats through the “wake up with the goats” experience. Guests will accompany a dairy farmer through the milking process. You might even get to bottle-feed a baby goat. Or get bendy with your new friends in a goat yoga class.
Guests with culinary aspirations can be cheese-making apprentices for a day at the ranch’s Medicine Bow Creamery, Wyoming’s leading maker of goat dairy products. Cheese-making apprentices will learn to make feta, from pasteurization to forming the curd. Instruction in making ricotta, burrata, and mozzarella is also available. Or join a caramel-making class using goat milk that’s been honey-aged in Brush Creek Distillery bourbon barrels. You can bring as much fresh-made caramel home with you as you like, so bring a big suitcase.
Ready to plan your trip to the ranch? Visitors can fly into the Saratoga Jet Center by private plane or take a commercial flight to Laramie or Denver.
