2025 AfroBasket: D’Tigers romp to 87-66 victory over Tunisia
Nigeria's D'Tigers secured an impressive 87-66 victory over Tunisia at the 2025 AfroBasket, with NBA hopeful Josh Okogie shining on the court. Okogie's stellar performance, including scoring 13 points, was instrumental in Nigeria's dominant win.
The team raced to an early lead with contributions from Caleb Agada, Ike Nwamu, Talib Zanna, and Kaodirichi Akonbundu. Coach Mehdi Mary was forced to call a timeout as Nigeria played with confidence and precision.
Okogie's 10-point display in the second quarter further solidified Nigeria's lead, with Tunisia unable to match their opponent's energy. Despite Tunisia's efforts to close the gap, Nigeria's stifling defense and efficient scoring kept them in control.
The victory sets up an exciting final group match against Cameroon. Tigers forward Devine Eke expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, highlighting their execution of the game plan and collective effort.
