Olympics Record Broken As U.S Routs Nigeria In Basketball Game by supereagle(m): 5:43am On Aug 03, 2012 |
The United States on Thursday night knocked off Nigeria’s D’Tigers 156-73, in the highest scoring basketball game in Olympic history. It was a game in which Olympic scoring records were broken across the board, reports NBA Circle. Carmelo Anthony scored 37, surpassing the US record of 31 by Stephon Marbury, on 10/12 from three point land, also a US record, in just 14 minutes. The US shot 29/46 from 3 (a record) & 30/37 from inside the arc on 41 assists (tying the Olympic record). The 156 US points surpassed the Olympic record of 138 by Brazil and the 83 point differential is a US Olympic record. The final score of 156 points is the U.S highest winning scoring while 83 point differential is a U.S Olympic record. The sensational win featured 37 points from Carmelo Anthony for a U.S Olympic individual scoring high. No fewer than 12,000 spectators gathered on Thursday to watch the keen Group A basketball game between both sides at the Olympic basketball arena in London. The game was another dismal outing for Nigeria’s D’Tigers, two days after their defeat by Lithuania. The USA-Nigeria game ended 49-25 in the first quarter and was 78-42 at half-time. The third quarter ended 119-62 in favour of U.S, with Nigeria showing no sign of improving. The game ended U.S 156 Nigeria 73, with many going away disappointed at Nigeria’s poor outing so far http://www.punchng.com/business/12000-spectators-watch-as-usa-leads-nigeria-in-basketball-game/ |
