 The Kampala Rockets put behind a bad first quarter  to come back and defeat Power, 55-53, in a closely contested National Basketball League fixture to secure their first victory this season.

 Offensively, Power began the game well with a 13-7 first quarter, with all signs indicating that the five-time champions would stroll to a win. 

Emmanuel Emmanuel (14), Kur Garang (13) and Adut Mayer(10) all scored in double digits to help the Rockets get over the line for their first victory of the campaign. 

Guellord Mobanza finished with a game-high 18 points in 33 minutes of action, but that wasn't enough as Power fell to their third defeat in a row.

 Up next for Dmark Power is an encounter against the UCU Canons as they will look to grab a victory and snap their losing streak. 

The Kampala Rockets face the JKL Dolphins next as they will try and get their second straight win for the first time this year. Show quoted text
