Braves-perennial winners of Ghana’s elite club basketball competition, the Accra Basketball League (ABL) Men’s Division-take on Harbel Pointers from Liberia in its final game of the competition which started on December 8.
However, a poor first quarter performances from Braves played a big role in losses to Rivers Hoopers from Nigeria and Eland Sportif from Benin to the ire of Coach Lawal Brimah.
Hoopers beat Braves 70-52 and Sportif scored an 81-64 win in the opening games but ended the losing run with a 75-50 win over AS Police from Niger.
