D’Tigress eliminated from Olympics 2024 after losing to USA

After defeating Nigeria’s D’Tigress, Team USA women’s basketball is getting closer to winning their tenth gold medal at the Olympics for the 59th time in a row.

With 20 points from A’ja Wilson and 15 from Jackie Young, the United States easily overcame Nigeria, winning 88–74 in the end.

For much of the first half, though, the game was tighter than Team USA perhaps would have liked.

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.
