By halftime, the home team led 46–32, and the margin hovered around 20 points for most of the second half.

- Third‑quarter response: Cape Verde cut the deficit to 12 early in the third, but South Sudan answered with three straight three‑pointers to push the lead back to 20.
- Fourth‑quarter control: The Bright Stars’ bench maintained the intensity, holding Cape Verde to just 13 points in the final frame.
