Under the floodlights of Lubowa, RezLife Saints turned their long-awaited home debut into a celebration, brushing aside Victoria Crocs 75–59 to stay unbeaten in the 2026 National Basketball League.

The night began an hour late but burst into life from the opening tip, won by Rin Tueny Mabor.

Backed by singing schoolgirls along the touchline, the Saints played with purpose.

Otieno Micheal struck first and later poured in 19 points, while Suka Fadul imposed himself on the glass as RezLife built a 19–12 first-quarter lead through relentless second chances.

The Crocs briefly stirred in the second period, edging it 22–20 as Lubangakene Enoch battled inside.

Yet any hint of a shift dissolved after halftime. Fadul’s three-point play and a flurry of layups from Otieno stretched the margin to 16, restoring firm control.

Mark Ngobi’s late drives trimmed the deficit to 10, but missed opportunities proved costly.

Duot Ajang’s layup with three minutes left extinguished resistance and sealed a composed finish.

Elsewhere, KCCA Panthers defeated JKL Dolphins 57–51, while Kampala Rockets beat JT Jaguars 70–52.
