UGB 85-77 REG<\/p>\n

REG 66-60 APR<\/p>\n

Ghanaian star Amotoe James Kofi delivered a standout performance, scoring a game-high 28 points and dishing out four assists to power United Generation Basketball (UGB) to a thrilling 85\u201377 victory over Rwanda Energy Group (REG) at Petit Stade on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The result ended REG\u2019s three-game unbeaten run in the league.<\/p>\n

Coached by Yves Murenzi, UGB started brightly, edging the first quarter 21\u201320 before taking the second 22\u201318 to head into halftime with a five-point cushion.<\/p>\n

REG responded strongly after the break, regrouping to produce an improved offensive display and narrowly claiming the third quarter 24\u201323. However, UGB held firm in the final period, winning it 19\u201315 to seal their first victory of the league campaign.<\/p>\n

Amotoe\u2019s 28 points came in 35 minutes on the court, while shooting guard Valentin Lele contributed 20 points and Nkosinathi Sindile Sibanyoni added 12 in a well-rounded team effort.<\/p>\n

The victory lifts UGB to sixth place with five points, while REG remain top of the table with seven points despite the defeat.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s category, REG Women\u2019s Basketball Club defeated APR Women 66\u201360 to maintain their lead at the top of the standings.<\/p>\n
