(Edited)

D’Tigers suffer second Tokyo Olympics basketball defeat to Germany 92-99 after the previous match against Australia.

Following a disheartening defeat to Australia, the D'Tigers got the ball rolling with a basket from Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent with a majority of their points coming from three-pointers, an improvement over their first game.

Okafor Jahlil only able to put his hand on Giffey.

The game was knotted at 50-50 at halftime and 74-74 at the end of the third quarter, setting up a frenetic fourth quarter in which Germany pushed the game beyond Nigeria.

Nigeria led by as many as twelve points at one point in the game, but failed to perform enough defensively, giving up fouls that the Germans easily converted from the free throw line.

D'Tigers' late push was not enough to prevent Germany from claiming their first victory of the tournament.

What a close scoreline. The defense seem to be a big problem. Hope the coach fixes that problem before the next game against Italy. Even they manage to the win it seems like they will still fall out from tournament.
