Indomitable Lions dethrone Tunisia

Ten years of unbeaten dominance ended in just forty minutes. On Wednesday night, Cameroon delivered a stunning performance to topple defending champions Tunisia 86-65 in Group B action at the Pavilhão Multiusos de Luanda. From the tip-off, the Indomitable Lions showed relentless intensity. Williams Narace (200-SF-1997) led the charge with a game-high 20 points, supported by Jeremiah Hill (188-PG-1995, college: Valdosta St.) (14 points) and rising center Yves Missi (212-F-2004, college: Baylor) (12 points). Fabian Ateba also added crucial baskets to widen the gap. Tunisia, led by Jawhar Jawadi (189-F-1997) (16 points), Mohamed Ochi (210-C/F-1999) (12), and Omar Abada (189-PG-1993) (11), fought to keep pace but could not disrupt Cameroon’s momentum. In their tenth-ever AfroBasket meeting, both sides produced a thrilling first quarter before Cameroon took control, silencing Tunisian hopes. The message to the rest of the tournament was loud and clear: the Indomitable Lions are here to hunt the giants.
