Stephane Madelon (-97) responded with 8 points and 7 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.

Warriors will play against Matero M. and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very significant was South African Tigers' (#2, 2-0) victory against Zambian Matero M. 83-77.

Even 27 points by American guard Jaylen Leroy (190-97, college: Plymouth St.) did not help to save the game for Matero M.. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Tigers will play against Fer.Beira in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week.
