Both teams are yet to drop a game since the first jump-ball over the last ten days which makes today final an epic battle between two of the continent's most revered teams. While Petro handed down a 93-68 points defeat to surprised semi-finalist Inter Club basketball club of Congo Brazaville, Aogosto on the other hand were poles apart from their semi-final opponent and home team, Dodan Warriors basketball club of Nigeria.
