After Russia trimmed the deficits to two following a 11-0 to start the final period, Campazzo stood up with his fast breaks and layups to help Argentina regain the tempo.
With 2:36 remaining, Patricio Garion made two free throws, Campazzo played a layup, putting the game beyond the reach of the Russian players.
"Congratulations to Argentina. Their experienced basketballers played the game they wanted to play and we had a bad second quarter," said Russian head coach Sergey Bazarevich in the post-game press conference.
