In a stunning display of resilience, the Rezlife Saints overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat the UPDF Tomahawks, 54-48, earning their second win of the season.
The Saints were led in scoring by Arnold Kisekka and Emmanuel Okot, who put up 10 and 11 points, respectively. The Tomahawks started strong and were in control at halftime, leading 30-20.
However, a dismal third quarter saw the army side only score three points compared to the Saints' 11, allowing the Rezlife team to claw their way back into the game.
This momentum carried into the fourth quarter, where the Saints outscored the Tomahawks 25-18 to seal the come-from-behind victory.
Ferdinand Odama scored 11 points for the Tomahawks, but the team struggled offensively, shooting 28% from the field on 19/67 attempts.
The defeat leaves the Tomahawks with a season record of 3-4 after seven games, and they will need to regroup and refocus to avoid letting leads slip away in future games.
This is not the first time this season that the Tomahawks have let a halftime lead slip, with a similar scenario occurring in an earlier game against the KCCA Panthers.
The team will need to analyse their game strategy and find ways to close out games if they hope to improve their record in the future.
The win was a much-needed boost for the Rezlife Saints, whose season record now stands at 2-5 after seven games.
They will look to build on this momentum as they take on fellow newcomers Kampala Rockets in their next fixture.
Overall, the game was a thrilling display of resilience and determination from the Rezlife Saints, who refused to give up despite being behind at halftime.
