The Botswana Basketball Association (BBA) league defending champions, Troopers proved their mettle by dominating Spartans during a league match played at Baisago courts on Saturday. Troopers dominated their opponents from the first quarter led by Emmanuel Ramoshebi and the youthful Michael Sianang. 

Troopers led 3-0 in the first few minutes of the game. Troopers coach, William Nyangu told Sport Monitor that he was aware that he was going to play against a team that has older players while his side has the youth. He said the idea was to use speed.

“It was key to run them out of the game and I knew it was going to be a close game especially in the first quarter. From the jump ball I put in a young squad and there was no traditional centre on the court. I did that to push speed. My charges executed the first quarter very well. I realised that Spartans were getting tired in the second quarter, I made changes introducing fresh legs and it was clear our opponents had run out of steam,” Nyangu said.
