Cote d'Ivoire continued their strong form at the FIBA AfroBasket with a 75-63 victory over the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Building on their dramatic win days earlier, the Ivorians displayed maturity and control to secure another important group stage result. Cote d'Ivoire took command of the game in the second quarter with a sustained run fueled by defensive stops and efficient ball movement. The Congolese team fought hard and managed to cut the lead to single digits in the fourth quarter, but Cote d'Ivoire responded with timely scoring from their veteran guards to close out the game. This win strengthens Cote d'Ivoire's chances of advancing to the knockout rounds and demonstrates their resilience in a tournament setting.
