Nam Blazers were every neutral fan’s favorite in Game 7 of the men’s division of the Tusker Lite National Basketball League (NBL) playoffs as they were tipped to end the City Oilers’ dominance that started way back in 2013.

However, it didn’t go their way as City Oilers managed to win their eighth straight NBL title after beating Nam Blazers 64-66 in Game 7 of the finals played on Friday at the MTN Arena, Lugogo in Kampala to win the series 4-3.

An experienced City Oilers side once again condemned another highly rated side to a best man’s role, having beaten Falcons, Power (3), KIU Titans, and UCU Canons (2) in the past finals. This means the Oilers have won eight titles in a row.
