City Oilers were crowned National Basketball League champions for the fourth consecutive time after seeing off Betway Power 78 – 46.

After trailing 3-1, wounded Betway Power failed to re-ignite their title hopes despite the game being a make-or-break affair. They registered their worst performance as City Oilers celebrated their way to sweet victory. For the first time, City Oilers tipped off on a high as they led till the final whistle.



At half time, Oilers were 16points clear as it ended 38-22. At the start of third quarter, Power were rather helpless and seemed to have succumbed to the fate. Their star players captain J. Ikong and Makiadi too failed to inspire the team.
