- By David Ngobua

Rivers Hoopers of PortHarcou­rt yesterday put up a dominant performanc­e against Coal City Miners of Enugu in the first game of the day.

To take the team from Enugu to the cleaners, assistant Coach of the Senior Men National team, Ogoh Odaudu brought his experience to the bare alongside Benjamin Ikechukwu and Victor Koko who were members of the 2021 FIBA Afrobasket.

It was nearly a one way traffic affair as the match ended 90-39 in what remains the highest win margin so far this season.

In the other match in Akure, Camac withstood the invasion of Invaders of Ekiti to pick their first win at the ongoing 2021 Men’s Premier Basketball League.

It was

an

unforgetta­ble afternoon for Police Batons of Lagos as they came back from a double digit deficit to defeat the home side, Ondo Raiders.

The Raiders lost their way in the second half to surrender their lead and eventually losing the game with 20pts as it ended 59-39pts in favor of the Police team.

Last game of the day saw another second half dominant performanc­e from Kwara Falcon winning the game 6655pts against Raptors of Lagos.

Games will continue today in the Atlantic Conference, Invaders will take on Lagos Islanders after which Rivers Hoopers will tackle Police Baton.

Unbeaten Kwara Falcons will face CAMAC of Lagos while Ondo Raiders will square up against Lagos Raptors.

Meanwhile, no match will be played in the Savannah Conference in Abuja.
