The NBA put on a show in its first exhibition game in Africa on Saturday - starting with a dunk straight from the tip-off by Luc Mbah a Moute.

After a relaxed first half, the game got serious in the second: Chris Paul's Team World rallied with with a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter to beat Luol Deng's ''home'' Team Africa 101-97.
