Ghana Police have jumped to first place in the Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men's Division II after recording a resounding 81-54 win over Junior Reformers in a game played at the Lebanon House Court in Tudu. The game was the last of two ties fixed for the round; Navy Warriors beat Tudu Galaxy 66-59 in the opening game.
The win win means Police have won six games in as many matches and continue to streak along in this year's campaign. Reformers of Prisons are the only side in the division with a similar unbeaten record.
Matters were close in the first half as Police held 15-10 and 35-29 leads in the first and second quarters respectively but dominated the young Reformers side in the second half to record the expected win. Reformers Guards Godwin Tetteh and Isaac Ollenu were culpable of turning the ball over several times in the times which Police benefited from with Benjamin Debrah scoring six straight points.
Veteran Guard Debrah turned in a peach of a performance in the last quarter by sinking four three point shots to sink Reformers despite good play Mawusi Kalla, Emmanuel Odamtten and Jamani Salifu. The game was almost abandoned at half time as showers drizzled on the exposed playing surface but play continued as the showers lasted a few seconds.
Fourth place Navy Warriors outlasted fifth placed Tudu Galaxy in a close game for its fourth straight win in the competition after failing to win in three games at the start of the season.
