Buddo led 16-9 after the first quarter but Amazon 11-8 to make it a 3-point game at halftime.

In the final 5 minutes of the second quarter, only 2 field goals were scored, one for either team and this showed how poor both teams were offensively.

Buddo still looked like the better side in the fourth quarter and they managed to seal out the victory 61-47.

Buddo cleaned the boards more and this was a key recipe in their victory.

Amazon Rhinos played their final regular season game and they have finished with an 11-9 record.

They will be finishing either 4th of 5th and will most likely take on Legends in the quarter-finals of the playoffs.

Buddo have won 3 consecutive games but given the walkovers they handed out, it will very hard for them to make the final 8.

However, if they keep winning, there’s still a chance.

They take on Watoto next on Sunday, 3rd November, and will close out the regular season the following weekend with back-to-back games against Nkumba Lady Marines and Angels.1
