England girls started strongly against Lithuania in the 5th-6th place game, but the Baltic team chipped away and won out 38-44.
Ophelia Larder-Lee and Precious Godwin top scored with eight points each, with Summer Wilson adding seven.
The boys needed to beat Croatia to earn themselves bronze, but even 15 points from Myles Barry and 10 from big man Ziah Francis couldn't stop the Croats, who had the dagger at the death, winning out 45-56.
Both England teams can be proud of themselves, showcasing their talent against some of Europe's best.
The group stage finished with England boys and girls edged out by their Italian counterparts.
Head coach Scott's boys lost 25-56, with Myles Barry and Oliver Bishop top scoring with five points a piece.
The girls, led by Gem Salmon, battled hard but it wasn't to be, finishing 48-32. Neve Rugette added nine to her tournament points tally.
The Jr. NBA selected Myles Barry, Oliver Bishop, Anya Williams and Neve Rugette, and coach Salmon for the All-Star game.
Barry and Williams were coached by Atlanta Hawks Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, whilst Bishop and Rugette had multi-WNBA champions Ticha Penicheiro and Amaya Valdemoro as their star-coaches - as well as being assisted by Salmon.
Summer Wilson and Maxx Tjongondjoza won the the shooting contest and Rugette and Barry competed in the skills challenge.
The second full day of competition finished with the England boys picking up a victory and a loss, and the England girls picking up valuable international experience from two losses.
Big man Oliver Bishop was on fine form for the boys in their 46-37 win over the Netherlands, grabbing himself 12 points.
However, later in the day England's fortunes turned, as they lost their first game to Spain, 62-28, ending the day with a 3-1 record.
England girls (0-4) also lost to Spain, 72-24, but their better performance came in their earlier game, playing well as a defensive outfit in a 43-25 loss to the Netherlands.
Day one concluded with a pair of wins for England boys and two hard fought losses for England girls.
Head Coach Lewis Scott's boys did the business on the first day of competition, going 2-0 with wins against Lithuania, 74-61 and Croatia, 59-48.
There were also Player of the Game awards to London Thunder's Myles Barry and Milton Keynes Breakers' Samuel Muleba.
England girls did themselves and Head Coach Gem Salmon proud too, growing in confidence from their 47-29 loss to Lithuania at the start of the day to almost topping Balkan rival Croatia, who came through to win, 51-45, in spite of Khyannah Campbell's 12-point effort.
