By Sampson Adedeji

The qualifier to the African Basket League continues in Burundi with Nigerian star, Israel Otobo helped his team Dynamo BBC to get back to winning ways, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Otobo was dominant on the boards, grabbing 8 rebounds in the first half alone, while Clement Karabona added 7 rebounds, contributing to Dynamo's total of 21 rebounds in the first two quarters.

By the end of the match, Otobo's physicality and skill helped him score 21 points and secure 11 rebounds, achieving a double-double. Teammates Bienvenu Richard Ndikuriyo and Tariq Ali also played crucial roles, scoring 16 and 15 points.

Under the guidance of their coach Olivier Ndayiragije, Dynamo, powered by Otobo, led throughout all four quarters. 

This strong performance allowed Dynamo BBC from Burundi to bounce back from a Day 2 loss in the ongoing Basketball Africa League (BAL) qualifier matches.
