Canons captain Ibanda Lwabaga says the team showed character in the victory, enabling them to succeed.
"It was a good team win, we had a bad third quarter, but we showed character in the fourth quarter by limiting turnovers to get the win,” Lwabaga told Pulse Sports.
Moses Mugisha was not to be left behind, as he also got his double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.
The victory meant that the Canons got revenge after their first-round loss to their opponents.
