On Sunday, Ulinzi Warriors secured a crucial 57-42 win over Kenya College of Accountancy-University at the Nyayo National Stadium Gymnasium, further solidifying their grip on the top spot in the men's basketball Premier League.
The win marked the 15th victory for the Ulinzi Warriors, who now have a four-point lead over reigning champions Kenya Ports Authority, who are in second position with 27 points.
Thunder, who had beaten the leaders 68-55 in the first leg, slipped to third place with 25 points, but still have two games in hand.
Ulinzi Warriors' coach William Balozi expressed his team's strategy, stating, "We are headed to finish either in first or second position to avoid meeting Thunder until in the play-offs finals."
Kenya College of Accountancy-University's coach Charles Goro attributed his team's loss to fatigue, saying, "We played good defence restricting Ulinzi to a low scoring result but lost because we had used all the energy to beat Umoja 48-43 on Saturday."
