Brazil - USA 92-77

Brazil shocked the USA with a 92–77 semifinal triumph at AmeriCup 2025, fueled by the brilliance of Yago Santos and Bruno Caboclo (208-C-1995). The Americans built a 52–38 halftime lead and appeared in control, but Brazil chipped away before unleashing a furious finish. Trailing late in the third, the South Americans erupted for a 34–9 fourth quarter, including a decisive 31–4 closing run, completely overwhelming the U.S. on both ends. With their relentless defense and clutch execution, Brazil not only avenged their earlier group phase defeat but also booked a historic place in the final.
Yago Dos Santos (175-PG-1999) led the way with 25 points and Bruno Caboclo delivered 20. Langston Galloway (188-G-1991, college: St.Joseph's) replied with 22 points in the losing effort, whilst Ja'Vonte Smart (193-G-1999, college: LSU) scored 13.
