Wednesday, September 4*UCU Lady Canons Vs JKL Lady Dolphins – 7pm (2-1)*KIU Titans Vs City Oilers – 9pm (0-3)
JKL Lady Dolphins are hoping to capitalize on their newfound momentum as they face the UCU Lady Canons in Game Four of the National Basketball League (NBL) finals at Lugogo.
After a dominant performance in Game Three on Sunday, where they registered a convincing 72-54 victory, the Lady Dolphins have breathed new life into their title defense and now aim to level the series at 2-2.
Having struggled in the first two games, JKL looked like a team transformed in Game Three. Their renewed energy and improved execution allowed them to halve the deficit and keep their championship hopes alive.
As they prepare for Game Four, the Lady Dolphins will be eager to build on this momentum and force a decisive Game Five.

However, challenges remain. Despite their strong showing, JKL still encountered issues, including a quiet night from their top scorer Brenda Ekone, who was limited to just four points.
Additionally, the team was plagued by 24 turnovers, a statistic they will need to improve if they hope to maintain their momentum and tie the series.
Meanwhile, the UCU Lady Canons will be looking to regroup after a disappointing shooting performance, particularly from beyond the arc, where they missed 23 of 25 attempts.
UCU will need to address these issues quickly if they want to prevent JKL from gaining further confidence and pushing the series to the brink.
