Basketball Africa League
Regular Season Round 2: Giants - Tigers 89-102
Date: April 1, 2026
Very expected game when South AfricanGiants lost to Rwandan Tigers in Johannesburg 89-102 on Wednesday. Tigers looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. South Sudanese-Australian center Mangok Mathiang (208-1992, college: Louisville) notched a double-double by scoring 32 points and 17 rebounds to lead the effort and American Craig Randall II (193-1996, college: UT Martin) supported him with 39 points (!!!), 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Randall II is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Tigers' coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even a double-double of 24 points and 18 rebounds by Nkosinathi Sibanyoni (208-1998) did not help to save the game for Giants . American swingman Jakobi Heady (198-2002, college: BCU) added 30 points and 6 rebounds for the hosts.
