I would like to congratulate the Nigerian mens' basketball team for scoring 73 points today.
Too bad they were playing the United States, who scored an absurd ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX POINTS to win by EIGHTY-THREE.
Throw out the NBA players and get me a real basketball tournament.
According to the NBA's Twitter account, this is an Olympic record, by nearly 20 points! They had more three-point attempts through three quarters than shots inside the arc.
