Nigeria’s shocking 90-87 win over Team USA featured four Miami Heat players — Bam Adebayo on the U.S. team and Precious Achiuwa, KZ Okpala and Gabe Vincent for Nigeria.
Achiuwa made the highlight of the game when he blocked a Kevin Durant dunk attempt with his off hand. It was the type of play that revealed his defensive versatility. Achiuwa even knocked down a 3-pointer, a crucial skill that will help determine whether he fits into the Heat’s long-term plans.
But Gabe Vincent scored a game-high 21 points on six 3-pointers in the exhibition.
