Team Canada and Zach Edey Defeat Team USA, Win Bronze Medal

The third place game of the FIBA World Cup was this morning, or was it later today? Or yesterday? I don’t know. Time zones are weird. It was in the wee morning hours on the East coast that Team USA and Team Canada faced off to determine who would finish in third place in the FIBA World Cup, thus securing themselves a bronze medal. For Canada it would mean their first medal in international competition since pre-WWII and for Team USA they faced the prospect of not winning a medal for the second straight FIBA World Cup and just the 7th time in 38 world appearances at either the FIBA World Cup or the Olympics.
