Friday nights have always been reserved for high profile fixtures of the National Basketball League, especially in the men’s division.
History suggests that Power versus Falcons is one of such fixtures but the match-up at YMCA sure wasn’t as the former ran out with the biggest win of the season.
Power torched Falcons, 111-50, in the one-sided affair that more or less came off like a pick-up session for Power who welcomed back Fahmy Ssebatindira, Phillip Ameny and Syrus Kiviiri.
While Kiviiri and Joseph Ikong scored 24 and 20 points respectively, it was Nasser Gudoi, popularly known as Kikiri, who got the sparse crowd on their feet with his 15 points.
Arnold Lando’s charges exploded for a 31-9 first quarter and all was nothing but done as Falcons had no answers to Power’s transition game.
Ssebatindira and Ameny contributed 11 points each for the victors while Henry Mbazira (9 points), Andrew Opiyo (8 points, 10 rebounds) and Vinnie Jurua (8 points) were the top contributors for Falcons.
