Visioneers’ victory came during extra time after both teams ended the last quarter with 40 points each.
The game was very entertaining because both teams had perfect ball control followed by tactical defensive system in each quarter of the game and based on their tactical defensive system, it was very difficult for players of the two teams to make more basket against.
Visioneers’ victory against TS Warriors helped them maintain their lead at the top of Group B of the third division table and increased their points to 20 from 10 games played while the defeat to TS Warriors increased their points to 15 but she remains fifth on the table.
