BASKETBALL NBL Playoffs: Sticking to the Game Plan Crucial for Victory, Says Rhoda Nagitta of Lady Jaguars
In their inaugural National Basketball League season, the JT Lady Jaguars are chasing the championship and will face off against the KIU Rangers in game one of the semi-finals at the YMCA court, aiming to kickstart their campaign with a win.
Taking the initiative in the first quarter, the Kansanga-based team surged ahead, finishing 22-11.
Although their opponents made a comeback effort in the second quarter, the KIU Rangers maintained control, leading 32-24 at halftime.
The third quarter proved to be the turning point, with the JT Lady Jaguars struggling against the suffocating defense of the KIU Rangers, managing to score only seven points while the Rangers amassed 22.
The fourth quarter saw a more competitive effort, but the KIU Rangers had already secured the first win in this best-of-five series, although they eased off the gas.
Rhoda Nagitta led the Lady Jaguars in scoring with 11 points, but their offense failed to click at crucial moments in the game.
Game two is scheduled for Wednesday at 7 pm at the YMCA Court, where the Lady Jaguars will aim to level the series, or the Rangers may take a commanding 2-0 lead.
