Since joining the National Basketball League in 2013, City Oilers have hardly hit the ground running at the start of the season. This year is a bit different though. The eight-time NBL champions are already in cruise and control as they have registered four wins in as many games. The latest was an 88-55 win over Rez Life Saints on Wednesday night at the MTN Arena in Lugogo. The addition of point guard Fayed Baale and forward Titus Lual to the team has made a massive difference as the pair that played with the team during the BAL Qualifiers before officially joining has taken issues into their own hands. Baale (19) and Lual (18) combined for 37 points with the latter being named player of the game as he pulled down 15 rebounds while the point guard dished out 5 assists. Luak Ruai (12), Michael Ngut (11) and Jimmy Enabu (10) also scored in double digits for Oilers (4-0). Thok Timothy scored a team-high 13 points and picked 11 rebounds for Rez Life. Michael Otieno and Benjamin Kawuma contributed 12 and 10 points respectively for the Saints (0-2) who were careless in possession turning over the ball 30 times.
