The curtain falls on the 2009 national basketball league this weekend with three make-or-break play-offs final Game Two matches at the Nyayo Stadium.
On Saturday, men and women’s defending champions KCB Lions and KPA are expected to break into celebration songs by retaining their titles on a 2-0 run.
KCB Lions will host KPA with one game up after having won the best-of-three series final opener 77-67 at the KPA Makande gymnasium in Mombasa last weekend.
The dockwomen handed their rivals, Eagle Wings, a 70-56 beating in their Mombasa backyard and will also be out to wind up the series 2-0.
Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology cannot afford to be left out of the celebration party today. The varsity students will go flat out to send their hosts, Blazers, packing 2-0.
