D'Tigress lose to France

D'Tigress suffered a 75-54 loss to France in their second game at the 2024 Women's Olympic Basketball Tournament in Paris.

Nigeria had virtually kept up with their opponents for most of the first half because of their characteristic bravery and aggressive play.

But when France shut down D'Tigress' offensive entirely and limited them to single digits at just 8 points in the third quarter, the wheels came off for the team.

In this game, France's depth was crucial—at least when compared to Nigeria, anyway.

Nigeria had a great start and had to work hard to contain the damage as fatigue set in.
