D’Tigers Beat Tunisia To Maintain Perfect AfroBasket Start

Nigeria's national basketball team, D'Tigers, secured a crucial victory against Tunisia in the AfroBasket tournament at Pavilhao Multiusos de Luanda. Led by NBA player Josh Okogie, who scored 33 points, Nigeria maintained their perfect start in Group B with their second consecutive win.
The team's dominant performance from the beginning, including a strong opening run, set the tone for the game. Despite Tunisia's efforts to recover from an earlier loss to Cameroon, they could not match Nigeria's intensity.
The victory extended Tunisia's poor run in the competition, with the defending champions missing key players like Makram Romdhane and Radhouane Slimane. Nigeria's win keeps them at the top of the group and boosts their chances of securing their second AfroBasket title in ten years.
The upcoming clash against Cameroon is expected to determine the group's winner, with Nigeria currently holding a perfect record in the tournament.
