Being handed the role of game-decider after such a start was far from ideal.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of this game was uncertain until the end. Even when the Tigers reached their largest lead of 11 points in the fourth quarter, Petro de Luanda refused to back down.<\/p>\n<p>RSSB Tigers&#8217; Antino Jackson in action during the game in which the Rwandan side secured an 82-78 victory over Petro de Luanda on Sunday at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, South Africa. Courtesy<\/p>\n<p>Uncertainty loomed when Childe Dundao converted two free throws, tying the game at 78\u201378 with 19 seconds left on the clock.<\/p>\n<p>That was the moment when Jackson Jr. decided to rewrite the narrative with his three-pointer, followed by a free throw that gave the RSSB Tigers a four-point win.<\/p>\n<p>The RSSB Tigers showed tremendous resilience, coming back from a 10-point deficit to trail by just two (36\u201334) at half-time.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Jr. explained that their ultimate goal was to reach the BAL Playoffs in their home city of Kigali in May.<\/p>\n<p>After two games played so far, Henry Mwinuka and his Tigers remain undefeated while Petro de Luanda dropped to a 1-1 mark.<\/p>\n<p>To advance to the playoffs in Kigali, the Tigers will have to finish among the top four teams in the Kalahari Conference.<\/p>\n<p>To advance to the playoffs in Kigali, the Tigers will have to finish among the top four teams in the Kalahari Conference.<\/p>\n\r\n
