Josh Okogie made a driving layup to open the scoring for Nigeria, before Ben Uzoh and Ekpe Udoh impressed to gift Nigeria a 24-16 lead in the first quarter.

Deon Thompson's jump shot and Tiegbe Bamba's three-pointer helped Cote d'Ivoire cut the deficit to only two points. Nigeria led 37-35 into the halftime break.

Uzoh scored six straight points to start the third quarter and inspired his team storm to a 14-3 run. The Nigerians enjoyed a 63-46 advantage to end the third quarter.

In the last quarter, Nigeria sent some of the bench players to the court but kept its advantage going well to the final whistle.
