D’Tigress, Nigeria’s senior women basketball team, on Wednesday in Paris ended their impressive run at the 2024 Olympic Games on a losing note.

The Nigerian side, who have already made history as Africa’s first side either make or female to go beyond the group phase of the Olympic competition lost 74-88 to the U.S.

They stood toe-to-toe with the Americans in the opening minutes, only to soon start to fall behind as their opponents came out more forcefully.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the quarter-final game at the Berry Arena saw the Nigerian side losing 17-26, 16-26, 15-24 in the first three quarters.

By the time they resurged to win 26-12 in the fourth and final quarter, it was a little bit late in the day.(NAN)
