The United States, which had qualified for the World Championship with a gold-medal performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics

, Leandro Barbosa
), Canada (Joel Anthony
), and Argentina
(Luis Scola

stormed through to the quarterfinals undefeated, winning each game by double digits. On the fourth day of group play, surprising Uruguay
stunned Canada, which had won its previous two games by a combined 75 points, for second place in the group after Martin Osimani

dominated world number one ranked Argentina
, forcing 23 turnovers en route to a 16-point victory. Group winner Brazil
was the only consistent team in the group, winning all of its games by at least nine points. The Dominican Republic
, sporting a roster that included a tournament-high three NBA players, qualified to the quarterfinals with a 2–2 record. Argentina
, buoyed by tournament scoring leader Luis Scola
, rebounded from an 0–2 start to win its last two games and qualify for the next round. Venezuela
could not capitalize on its victory over Argentina and was sent home after losing to Panama. The Venezuelans could have advanced on a tiebreaker had Argentina lost to the Dominicans, but Charlie Villanueva
missed a three pointer at the buzzer in overtime and Argentina escaped with an 89–87 victory in the final game of group play.

and Puerto Rico
easily clinched a semifinal berth and qualification for the 2010 FIBA World Championship
when both teams won their first two quarterfinal games to run their records to 5–0. World number one ranked Argentina
also qualified, winning all four of their quarterfinal games to erase an 0–2 start and escape a nearly disastrous result. All three teams finished 6–1. Argentina
handed Puerto Rico
its first loss of the tournament, 80–78, when Pablo Prigioni
hit two free throws with four seconds left in the game. Puerto Rico
then handed the Brazilians their first loss in the tournament, after the Puerto Ricans took a 16-point fourth quarter lead and withstood a late charge to win by four. A tiebreaker gave Brazil the top seed in the semifinals.
Uruguay
could not continue its momentum from its surprising 3–1 start, losing all four of its quarterfinal games. With Panama and Mexico
already eliminated from semifinal contention, a Uruguay
loss to Argentina
on the final day of group play meant that the winner of the Canada-Dominican Republic
game would advance to the semifinals and claim the final 2010 FIBA World Championship
berth from the Americas. The Canadians slipped through with a four point victory over a Dominican team that was playing without its star player, Francisco Garcia
, after he broke a finger in quarterfinal play. Canada advanced to the World Championship despite a 1–4 start to the round after winning their last two quarterfinal games.

claimed the gold medal over the host Puerto Ricans
in a 61–60 thriller. The Brazilians took a 13-point lead into the fourth quarter and led by 11 with 5:45 left before the Puerto Ricans began a frantic run to get back in the game. After Carlos Arroyo
hit a basket with 35 seconds left to pull the Puerto Ricans within two at 61–59, Puerto Rican youngster Angel Vassalo stole the ball and was fouled. After hitting the first, Vassalo missed the second free throw; the Puerto Ricans did get the ball back, but Carlos Arroyo
missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer and Brazil
hung on for a 61–60 victory to claim its third FIBA Americas Championship
