Our Savior Banyabo came from down 2-0 and now leads the series 3-2, after registering 2 huge victories and a 1-point victory in game 3.

Banyabo won game 5 56-36 thanks to a dominant second quarter where they blew past Nkumba.

The game was tied 12 a piece after the opening period but the turnover ghosts that haunted Nkumba in game 4 returned and they didn’t seem to have a solution.

Our Savior played very good defense, limiting Nkumba to just 3 points in the seconds and also forcing them into 7 turnovers.

Banyabo played quick transitions and always had an outlet. They also scored a couple of second-chance points and by halftime, they led the game 32-15.

Nkumba was chasing the game the entire second half but just couldn’t catch up and Our Savior won 56-36.
