City Oilers continued with their excellent run of form in the National Basketball League with a commanding 84-41 thrashing of Rezlife Saints Wednesday night at the Lugogo Indoor Stadium.
The victory, the Oilers’ sixteenth of the season, was somewhat expected and turned out to be one-sided as the defending champions wiped the floor with the opponents.
Highly-fancied Oilers got out of the block early to take the first quarter 17-09 and were out of sight after an 18-07 second-quarter performance that gave them a 35-16 lead going into the halftime break.
The vocal Rezlife fanbase remained hopeful and continued to push their team to victory, albeit with no success.
Mandy Juruni’s charges took the third and fourth frames 24-14 and 25-11, respectively, to extend their unbeaten run and condemn the Saints to yet another defeat.

The defeat was Rezlife’s fourth of the second round and extended their winless run to five games.

With their 3-11 record, Rezlife remained rooted at the base of the 12-team log, staring relegation in the face.
