D'Tigress to face USA: Nigeria gets monster Paris 2024 Olympic quarter-final match-up
Nigeria's D'Tigress have Mission Impossible as they take on the USA in their Paris 2024 Olympic quarter-final match-up.
For much of the first half, though, the game was tighter than Team USA perhaps would have liked.
Through the first quarter, Nigeria's formidable defense kept the score close, but shortly before halftime, the United States broke away but Nigeria were right there.
)
The US, which was composed of WNBA players, increased their lead in the second half and, at one point, almost doubled Nigeria's score on the scoreboard. Nigeria, though, has always kept it near.
Nigeria vs USA explained
Nigeria exited the competition as basketball greats, but the USA carried on with their relentless pursuit of yet another triumphant title defense.
)
Being the first African team (male or female) to participate at this level, they created history in a multitude of ways when they left the court.
The USA simply used their skill and better depth to progressively move ahead more and more. It took a late spurt of points from Nigeria to bring the advantage down to a more reasonable level.
Nigeria has been amazing, captivating the hearts of basketball fans not only in Africa but also worldwide as underdogs and achieving historic and unheard-of triumph.
