Dolphins beat Flames 54-29 in a game that started like anybody's.However, as the game progressed, the Gaborone based basketball outfit proved their mettle and ran away with the match.

Splinters took advantage of Dolphins' failure to quickly recover and protect their zone in the run of the game and scored a beautiful basketball.The two teams interchangeably took turns to collect baskets and the first quarter ended 17-14 in favour of the visitors.In the second quarter, the visitors started like a house on fire. Barrows played as a three-guard throughout the game. He played his heart out and managed to get the best for his team.
