Nigeria’s home-based national men’s basketball team on Saturday roared to an impressive 78-51 victory over Benin Republic at the ongoing FIBA Zone 3 AfroCan qualifier.
Coming off a narrow loss against Guinea the previous day, Nigeria entered the game played at the Palais de Sports in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire, determined to bounce back and secure a crucial win.
Though the home-based D’Tigers started slowly losing the first quarter 15-10, they came out smoking in the second quarter and emphatically won 32-12.
