Reformers of Prisons have beaten Tudu Magic 71-63 in a friendly game played at the Prisons Court in Cantonments.
The game was arranged to test the strength of both teams ahead of respective upcoming assignments in the Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men’s Division I and Division II.
Reformers held a comfortable lead at the end of the first half courtesy a 45-26 win heading into the second half.
Prisons Center Aziz Mohammed failed to complete a three point play early in the second half with his side leading 50-31.
However, that lead came under serious threat due to Magic’s vaunted three point shooting backcourt which has the likes of Eric Quaye, Gabriel Numarworse and ex-Prisons Guard Elvis Pobi-Siaw.
Pobi-Siaw’s converted three point shot reduced the deficit to seven (57-64) with five minutes left to play in the game before Prisons Guard Andrews Ayienab halted the run with a running layup.
Prior to the game, Reformers Junior side lost 58-65 to a select side from Tema.
