Petro de Luanda beat Al Ahly Ly 107-94 on Saturday to win the 2024 Basketball Africa League title at BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

This is Petro de Luanda's first continental title since winning the 2015 FIBA Africa Champions Cup in their capital of Luanda.

The Angolan champions trailed 52-40 at the break, but managed to turn things around in the third quarter to end Al Ahly Ly's three-game winning streak in the postseason.

Withe the win, Petro de Luanda earned the right to represent Africa at the next FIBA InterContinental Cup next September in Singapore.
