City Oilers eased to their sixteenth win of the season with a 75-50 pummeling of UPDF Tomahawks Friday night at the Lugogo Indoor Stadium.
The defending champions have been unplayable all season and made light work of Baker Kyambadde’s side to stretch their unbeaten run.
The game was only a contest in the first five minutes but the Oilers used the final stretch of the opening quarter to break away and never looked back.
What was a 10-point margin at the end of the first quarter stretched to 18 (43-25) going into the halftime break.
