- City Oilers 48-62 Rezlife Saints
Rezlife Saints have picked the eighth victory of the ongoing 2026 National Basketball League.
Rezlife Saints secured a well-deserved 62-48 victory against City Oilers in the NBL encounter at Lugogo Indoor Arena on Friday.
Rezlife Saints have suffered only two defeats in the campaign and they have come against Sommet and Namuwongo Blazers. On the other hand, the City Oilers have picked up their maiden loss of the campaign.
In the opening quarter, Fayed Baale got the game underway with a jumpshot beyond the paint but Micheal Otieno responded with a fadeaway jumper. It was a generally slow start as the Oilers ended the period with a four-point (14-10) lead.
Going into the second quarter, the Saints improved their defence and kept in close contact with the City Oilers. Edrine Ekau’s successful trip to the line levelled the game 30-30 going into the long break.
Coming from the long break, both sides were on the front foot and raced to a 16-16 score as they kept the game levelled at 46-46 going into the final period of the game.
In the final quarter, it was one-way traffic as the Saints scored uncontested 16 points, while the Oilers struggled to capitalise on their offensive opportunities. Maluel Dier saw his jump shot drop at the end of the period, but at that point, it meant nothing to the game.
Micheal Otieno (10 points and 11 rebounds) and Joel Kayiira (10 points and 10 rebounds) were the only players who managed double digits for the Saints and Oilers, respectively.
Edrine Ekau (25 points) and Hon Kwany (11 points) contributed to the scoring in double digits, while on the other hand, Malual Dier dropped 10 points for the Oilers.
