USA U16 MEN’S AMERICAS TEAM 2021 RESULTS
XALAPA, MEXICO • AUG. 23-29, 2021
The USA’s path to a seventh consecutive FIBA Americas U16 Championship gold medal wasn’t all smooth sailing, and in the end the Americans overcame Argentina (5-1) 90-75 in Xalapa, Mexico, to finish 6-0 and again claim gold. On a night when the USA struggled with its shooting and just putting points on the board in the first half, it dominated the game’s final 12:22 and outscored Argentina 43-28 to take the victory. Robert Dillingham, who finished with 31 points to set the USA single-game U16 scoring record, and averaged 15.7 points and a team-high 6.2 assists a game for the tournament, was named MVP. Joining Dillingham on the All-Tournament Team was Ronald Holland who finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds in the gold medal game, and averaged team-highs of 19.0 points and 10.2 rebounds a game in the USA’s six victories. With the win, the USA extended its undefeated record in U16 play to 37-0, while taking its seventh straight gold medal. Entering the gold medal game averaging 122.2 points a game, the USA couldn’t buy a hoop in the first quarter and found itself trailing 20-11 after the first 10 minutes. The U.S. posted more points in the fourth quarter than they had in the first two periods, and outscored Argentina 31-25 to take home the gold with the 90-75 win. Having made just 4-of-24 3-pointers entering the final period, the USA finally found its shooting eye and connected on 7-of-13 3s. The tightest game of the tournament was the semifinal matchup with Canada. A final score decided by 18-points, the USA prevailed 99-81. Prior to the contest with the Canadians, the U.S. scored in triple figures in four straight games. Starting with Puerto Rico (118-67), the USA offense excelled over the Dominican Republic (133-74), Chile (138-59) and Mexico (123-53).
