Tigers remain as the only undefeated team in the Kalahari Conference

Once again, the RSSB Tigers proved unstoppable in the Kalahari Conference, with no opponent able to stop them.

For the third time in a row, the RSSB Tigers emerged victorious, defeating the Johannesburg Giants 102–89 and maintaining their status as the only undefeated team in the Kalahari Conference with a perfect 3–0 record.

Despite the large turnout of local fans, the Rwandan champions proved once again that they are on a mission.

The Tigers moved a step closer to the 2026 BAL Playoffs in Kigali with the win.

The Giants resisted for most of the first three quarters, but an 5-0 scoring run to the start the fourth quarter propelled RSSB to a complete dominance.

And, by the time, RSSB stretched their lead to over 10 points with four minutes left there was no sign of a comeback for the Giants who dropped to 0-3.

Leonard Randall II led RSSB with a team-high of 39 points and his teammate Mathiang Mangok recorded his second double-double of the season, finishing with 32 points and 10 rebounds.

'We expected the home fans to be loud. Teafale Jr. was out with an injury, but we were mentally prepared for this game. We were focused,” said RSSB forward Dieudonne Ndizeye, who contributed 6 points off the bench.

Ndizeye went on saying: "We are almost in Kigali, and it feels great. Watch out, Kigali, we're on our way!  That was our main goal in coming here. Our togetherness has been key to our unbeaten run.”

Jakobi Heady spent 39:27 minutes looking to propel the Giants first win the 2026 Kalahari Conference, but they will have try again in their next two games.

Heady finished with a team-high of 30 points and his teammate Nathi Sibanyoni added 24 points and 18 rebounds.

"It's tough. We've lost three games in a row," Heady admitted. "We need to get back to the drawing board and prepare for the games on Saturday and Sunday. Our defence has to tighten up. We had a lot of defensive breakdowns, not only in the fourth quarter, but in all four."

"Our mindset going into these last two games is the same as it was for the previous three. All we have to do is watch film and execute it on the court," Heady pointed out.

The Johannesburg Giants remain as the only team without a win with two games left in the2026 Kalahari Conference.
