Team World make it three in a row in NBA Africa Game

Team World led from start to finish to make it three wins from three against Team Africa in the 2018 NBA Africa Game at the Sun Arena at Time Square in Pretoria on Saturday.

Led by co-captains Rudy Gay and Khris Middleton, and featuring the likes of Harrison Barnes and Hassan Whiteside, Team World got off to a flyer, with the LA Clippers' Italian forward Danilo Gallinari in particular catching the eye.

They led 27-20 after the first quarter, and maintained that seven-point lead at halftime, 54-47, with Gallinari leading the way with 12 points.

Team Africa co-captain Joel Embiid tried his best to keep his team in the game, wowing the capacity crowd with some powerful dunks and beautiful layoffs, but by the end of the third quarter the 'visitors' were even further ahead, leading 78-68.
