Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Friday<\/p>\n

Kigali Titans vs Orion 9pm<\/p>\n

It will be an epic battle when Kigali Titans face rivals Orion in the playoffs of the second division of national basketball league on Friday, July 22 at BK Arena.<\/p>\n

The final will be played in a \u201cbest of three series\u201d format where the two opponents will play two games against each other, and if one team wins both, it will be declared champion.<\/p>\n

However, should they win one game each, they will then have to play a third match which will be the ultimate decider of who walks away with the title.<\/p>\n

The Friday game kicks-off at 9pm and the two sides are expected to put in lots of effort to try and win it and make their chances of winning the title clearer.<\/p>\n

Cyrille Kalima\u2019s Titans advanced to the finals after defeating Flame basketball club while Orion advanced to the finals after beating Intare.<\/p>\n

The Titans coach told Times Sport about how serious the game is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe slightest mistake can determine the winner and loser. We will ensure we avoid errors as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate interview, Albert Buhake, the Head Coach of Orion said it is a crucial game and tough for both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to give it our very best shot for victory, and everyone on the team is ready for the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
