The Senior Men National Basketball Team, D’Tigers, recorded their second win at the ongoing FIBA Men’s Basketball World Cup Qualifiers in Luanda, Angola.
D’Tigers defeated their West African neighbours Guinea by 62-59 points on Saturday in a cagey encounter at the Pavihao Multiusos de Luanda.
The first quarter was 13 all, but the Guineans took the second quarter 22-18 and went ahead to pick the third quarter 13-8.
D’Tigers turned the table in the fourth and final quarter 11-23 to secure the much needed three points winning margin.
The victory means D’Tigers are third on group E log, 14 points, behind Cote D’Ivoire with 15 points and host Angola on 14 points.
However, both Cote D’Ivoire and Angola are yet to play their game in hand.
On Friday, D’Tigers had defeated Cote D’Ivoire 72-63 in Game one of Window 6 of the FIBA Men’s World Cup Qualifiers.
Earlier on Saturday in group F, South Sudan over-ran the DR Congo 82-61 in Alexandria, Egypt.
