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 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, D'Tigress created history in a multitude of ways when they left the court.
Nigeria was been amazing, captivating the hearts of basketball fans not only in Africa but also worldwide as underdogs and achieving historic and unheard-of triumph.
