Nigeria’s D’Tigers kept their perfect record intact at the 2025 FIBA AfroBasket Championship, overpowering Tunisia 87–66 in a commanding Group B display in Luanda.
Right from the tip-off at the Pavilhao Multiusos de Luanda, the defending champions set the tone, racing to a 29–16 first-quarter lead and never trailing for a single second.
Josh Okogie led the charge with a brilliant 32-point performance, while Nigeria’s high-tempo offense and disciplined defense left Tunisia struggling to find answers.
The two-time AfroBasket winners mounted a brief fightback in the final quarter, but Nigeria’s composure and a decisive 10–0 scoring run quickly shut the door.
Outscoring Tunisia in three of four quarters, the D’Tigers showcased their tactical sharpness and depth across the roster.
The win cements Nigeria’s place at the top of Group B and moves them closer to an automatic quarterfinal berth.
