D’Tigers Inch Nearer AfroBasket Q’Finals, Crush Tunisia 87-66

Nigeria's D'Tigers took a significant step towards the AfroBasket quarterfinals by defeating defending champion Tunisia 87-66 in Luanda, Angola. The win marked Nigeria's second victory in the 2025 FIBA Men's AfroBasket tournament, keeping the 2015 champions unbeaten.

NBA star Josh Okogie shone with a sensational performance, contributing to Nigeria's dominant lead throughout the game. Tunisia's Omar Abada and Yacine Toumi tried to rally their team with 13 points each, but fell short against Nigeria's strong offense and stifling defense.

The loss compounded Tunisia's woes after a shock defeat to Cameroon in their opening game. Nigeria's early control of the game, led by players like Caleb Agada and Ike Nwamu, showcased their determination to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

With this victory, Nigeria sends a clear message to the rest of the continent that they are serious title contenders in the tournament.
