B. the Hungarian Side Led Almost From Start to Finish, Taking the Advantage From the Second Minute, With Juhász Dorka, Named the Best Player

At halftime, Hungary held a ten-point lead and shot confidently, but the final stretch became tense. With three minutes left, Hungary led 66-54, yet Nigeria closed the gap to 68-65. The game ended dramatically as a potential equalizing three-pointer bounced off the rim, and the African opponents were forced to foul repeatedly in the remaining time without managing to tie the score. Head coach Völgyi Péter spoke after the match about the importance of team defense, a topic he had discussed extensively with his players.

Hungary finished the game with 25 turnovers, which increased in the closing minutes. The victory likely secures advancement for Hungary, who will face South Korea in the final round. In the opening match, Hungary lost 99-53 to France, making the game against the Koreans a decisive contest for second and third place.

The group winner advances directly to the quarterfinals, while the second and third-placed teams will play cross-group matches against the third and second teams of Group A for a spot in the last eight. Scorers for Hungary: Juhász 19, Takács-Kiss 17, Lelik 14, Török 5, Aho 4, Turner 4, Studer 4, Kányási 2, Josepovits 2.
