The host won the first quarter 13-11 but could only score 7 points against 20 points scored by Nigeria in the second quarter. Cape Verde failed to keep up with the momentum from then on.

In other games played in Group A, 3-time champions Egypt recorded back to back wins after beating Angola 86-61 on Sunday.

Nigeria will take a rest on Monday and then play their third game of the competition against Angola on Tuesday.
