Hoopers jumped to a 9-6 lead early in the game and stretched it to an 11-point advantage at halftime (40-29). The KingsMen came out after halftime with better intensity, leaving Gombe Bulls with no choice but to accept defeat in front of the Hoopers' raucous home crowd.


Former league champion Celestine Nwafor was the only player to finish in double figures for Gombe Bulls, scoring 10 points and grabbing 5 rebounds.


The KingsMen outrebounded Gombe 59-39, made eight three-pointers in the game, and forced Gombe into 29 turnovers.


Rivers Hoopers will return to the court to play Kwara Falcons on Friday at 6 pm.
