Canada finished fourth at the FIBA Men's AmeriCup basketball championship on Sunday after dropping a 9-85 decision to the United States in the battle for bronze.

The result marks Canada's second straight fourth-place AmeriCup finish.

The Canadians started strong Sunday and took a five-point lead in the first quarter before Jahmius Ramsey hit a three-point shot to put the Americans up 15-12.

The U.S. didn't fall behind again, despite getting outscored by Canada in both the third and fourth quarters.

"Offensively, we got better as the game went on, just not enough," said Canada's head coach Nathaniel Mitchell.
