2009 FIBA Americas Championship- Argentina castiga medalia de bronz

Argentina a terminat 2009 FIBA Americas Championship cu o medalie de bronz după ce au dominat Canada(88-73), în finala mica a competitiei din Roberto Clemente Coliseum din San Juan.
Din nou, Luis Scola, si-a condus echipa cu 27 de puncte, Pablo Prigioni marcand 17pct si 8 assist. Paolo Quinteros - 13 de puncte şi Juan Cantero a venit de la bancă pentru a face 11 pct.
Argentina a inceput in forta cu un 10-2 dupa 3 puncte reusite de Federico Kammerichs cu 7:18minute inainte de finalul primului sfert. Argentina a mers inainte cu un 12-0 fara sa pimeasca vreun punct. In final, sfertul unu s-a terminat 31-8, marcatorii principali fiind Quinteros-13pct, Scola-11 pct, de la canadieni Joel Anthony-4pct.
La pauza scorul a fost 49-18, eficienta atacului Argentinei fiind cu mult mai buna decat a nord americanilor(50% fata de 29%).
In a doua jumatate, Argentina a mentinut eficienta, in timp ce Canada a incercat sa-si gaseasca un ritm ofensiv mai bun, dar absenta shooterului principal Carl English, accidentat, a contat foarte mult. Al treilea sfert s-a incheiat cu 68-46, Scola avand 16 de puncte, Pablo Prigioni 14 şi Paolo Quinteros 13. In final, meciul s-a terminat cu 88-73.
Jermaine Anderson a terminat cu 19 puncte, 11 assists, Levon Kendall- 12 puncte, Aaron Doornekamp 11 şi Kyle Landry 10.
Canada si-a indeplinit obiectivul, acela de a fi prezenta in primele patru, si odata cu aceasta calificarea, alaturi de Brazilia, Puerto Rico si Argentina, la 2010 World Championship Basketball.
