Namuwongo Blazers defeated COSPN in the Road to BAL East Division Group D matchup at Hoima City Arena, taking control of the game after an evenly contested first half.
COSPN scored the opening basket before Namuwongo responded with a 13-0 run. Ikenna Okeke kept COSPN competitive by hitting four three-pointers, but Namuwongo tightened their defence after the interval and did not relinquish control.
Makhtar Gueye opened the second half with two three-pointers as Namuwongo moved towards a heavy victory. Fataki Nyembo, Peter Olisemeka and Peter Olisemeka were also among the Blazers’ double-digit scorers, with the source naming Peter Obleng in addition to Olisemeka.
Namuwongo’s free-throw shooting remains a concern after they went 19-for-33 from the line, having shot 14-for-24 against Ushindzi. COSPN face Patriots on Friday, while Namuwongo will return against Patriots on Saturday.
