I guess you all have heard of the trashing Nigeria's D'Tigers got in basketball at the 2012 London Olympic yesterday!
I personally felt they could have done better but hey...they were playing against the 'garndfathers' of basketball and they really TRIED!
A summary of the record achieved by the USA team in this game:
- In the highest scoring basketball game in Olympic history, the USA men knocked off Nigeria 156-73.
- 156 points USA highest winning scoring.
- 83 point differential is a US Olympic record.
- The sensational win featured 37 points from Carmelo Anthony for a U.S. Olympic individual scoring high.
- The US Basketball Team Highest shot 29/46 from 3-Points
- 30/37 from inside the arc on 41 assists (tying the Olympic record).
- USA Basketball FG percentage: 71.1
Team Nigeria tried after all. Didn't they?
