BASKETBALL Road to BAL: [Watch] City Oilers make flying start to Elite 16 as they tame COSPN
The nine-time NBL champions dispatched off COSPN with an edgy but excellent 81-76 victory at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"But the boys stepped up, and one thing I like about our team is we don't give up; we keep fighting, and that's what we did today."
Oilers' Petty Parrish stole the show as he put up 29 points, while Dane Miller added 14, with Germaine Roebuck supplementing with 12.
"In crucial times, we needed some big buckets that drew the difference, and at the end of the day, experience showed in the game," Juruni added.
"Tomorrow, we have a third game that will give us the first position if we win, so we shall rest and plan how to go about it."
