BASKETBALL: Falcons humiliate Power

National Basketball League

Women: A1 70 Stormers 54

Men: Falcons 66 Power 42

JOSEPH Ikong said that it hurt.

Considering just how poorly his team played, the TigerHead Power veteran had plenty of reasons to be displeased. He mentioned one.

"It hurt especially because it's against the Falcons," said Ikong.

Yes, it was the Falcons and boy did they dominate this Friday installment from the biggest rivalry in Ugandan basketball.

Arriel Okall snatched 13 points and 14 points while Joseph Ouma and Stephen Omony added a game-high 15 and 14 points as the Falcons romped to a 66-42 National Basketball League win.

The same Falcons who were on a four-game losing streak at start of the week and now have won two in a row.

Hiring Ben Olouch is already looking like an inspired move.

Power had few on this night when Sudi Ulanga was their top-scorer with 10 points.
