KPA boss Mugabae hails team cohesion in impressive repertoire

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) head coach Robert Mugabe has praised his side’s growing cohesion after a hard-fought 99-90 win over Equity Dumas in a Kenya Men’s Basketball Premier League clash played at Nyayo Gymnasium over the weekend.

Mugabe noted that the team’s chemistry is steadily improving, with players beginning to better understand each other on the court.

“The chemistry is improving and everything is coming together well. We just need to stay focused, stick to our game plan, and continue building on what we’ve been working on because there’s clear progress,” he said.

The KPA tactician highlighted improvements in key areas such as free throws, shooting efficiency, and ball control, while acknowledging there is still room for growth.

“Our free throws are improving and we’re taking better care of the ball, though there’s still a lot we need to work on. Most importantly, getting that win away from home is a big positive for us,” he added.

The victory extends Kenya Ports Authority’s impressive run in the league, sending them to the top of the standings with 11 points from six matches, having registered five wins and just one loss.

Meanwhile, Equity Dumas dropped to third place with 10 points from seven games, managing three wins against four defeats as the battle for top positions intensifies.
