They seized control after a tight first quarter and then dominated the middle periods with quick ball movement and physical defence.
Josh Okogie set the tone, and teammates followed his lead.
Earlier victories over Madagascar (77–59) and Tunisia (87–66) had already put Nigeria in strong form heading into the knockouts.

Nigeria will want to maintain its pace and discipline going into the AfroBasket quarterfinals after this victory solidifies them as a serious threat to win continental hardware again.
