Brazil 86-69 Nigeria: D’tigers lose for the fourth time, crash out of Rio 2016

Nigeria’s Basketball team D’Tigers have crashed out of the 2016 Rio Olympics after losing 86-69 to host nation Brazil, making it their fourth loss on the spin following previous defeats to Argentina, Spain and Lithuania. Nigeria won the first quarter 16-15, but the next three quarters were won by Brazil and despite all efforts put in by the Nigerian lads, the Brazilians were just too tactically sound and defensively acute for the Nigerians to break down.
