- Warriors 81-52 Falcons
Warriors kept their perfect start to season intact by following the Friday win over rivals Power with an 81-52 win over Falcons on Sunday.
The 2009 and 2012 National Basketball League champions made light work of six-time winners Falcons who are the opposite of the old self.
Like it was on Friday against Power, Warriors went off to a flying start with Jude Ochen and Syrus Kiviiri connecting from 3-point range and Saidi Amisi added a couple of lay-ups for a quick 10-0 lead before closing out the quarter 19-6.
Falcons regrouped and kept it tight in the second quarter with Bernard Okumu contributing 10 of Falcons 16 points in the frame, 3 short of Warriors.
Warriors (5-0) did not take the foot off the pedal after the half and took the third quarter 20-11 to throw Falcons in a hole so deep to climb out.
Mark Opio led Warriors team effort with game high 15 points, Ochen added 12 points while Amisi chipped in with 11 points and 9 rebounds.
Vinie Jurua matched game high 15 points to lead Falcons (1-4). Okumu picked a 12points 16 rebounds double-double.
