Despite a late-game rally by the “home” team, Team World was able to continue their unbeaten streak by sneaking past Team Africa 96-92 in the 2018 NBA Africa Game held Saturday at Sun Arena at Time Square in Pretoria, South Africa.
Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu, who has dual US/Nigerian citizenship and plays internationally for Nigeria, started for Team Africa and finished with two points on 1-of-4 shooting, six rebounds, five steals, three assists and a block in 20 minutes. The 6-9 forward also finished with a +/- of +12, the best mark of any player on Team Africa.
