Nigeria secured its second Afrobasket victory with a 71-55 win against Kenya in Rwanda as they set their sight on an automatic quarter-finals ticket

D’Tigers came out with a 20-8 win in the first quarter while Kenya picked the second quarter 18-14pts but that was not enough to stop Nigeria from finishing the first half 34-26.

Coach Mike Brown at the press conference emphasised on the need to improve as a team most especially defensively.

“I think we had some good shots offensively tonight that didn’t go in but our effort was inconsistent offensively and I thought that was what hurt us more”.
