Nam Blazers big man Nyemeck Kevin Leonel made his debut on Wednesday night as the side defeated Victoria Crocs 74-48 at Nakivubo Court.

Nyemeck joined the Blazers during the mid-season transfer window as a direct replacement for Michael Makiadi.

The Cameroonian forward scored 13 points and added five rebounds and two assists in the victory over the Crocs.

Nyembo Fataki and Peter Obleng led the scoring with 14 points apiece, while Innocent Ochera contributed 12 points for the Blazers.

For the Crocs, Mark Ngobi and Eric Komagum scored 12 points each. The Crocs led 15-13 after the opening quarter but faded as the game progressed.

Victoria struggled from beyond the arc, missing 20 of their 21 three-point attempts, and committed 24 turnovers in the loss.

The victory improved the Blazers’ record to 18 wins in 20 games. They will conclude the regular season against Kampala Rockets and UCU Canons.

The defeat was the Crocs’ first in five games and their 10th loss of the season after 20 outings.
