Road to BAL 2026 Day 3: Nairobi City Thunder's Last Second Winning Dunk, Dar City Goes Undefeated

Описание: Road to BAL 2026 — East Division | Day 3 Recap

Day 3 was pure adrenaline! Three huge games and one of the most dramatic finishes in the Road to BAL East Division so far.

🏀 Bravehearts vs Matero Magic
Matero Magic defeated Bravehearts 74–59 to secure the final Elite 16 spot in Group E. Jacob Mushinge was unstoppable from deep, hitting 6 threes on his way to 20 points, while Elijah Mukalebai and Corey Boyd kept the pressure up all game.

🏀 Dar City vs Ferroviário da Beira
Dar City continued their incredible form with an 87–78 win over Ferroviário da Beira, staying undefeated at 3–0. Nisre Zouzoua (21 pts) and Solo Diabaté (14 pts, 14 rebs) led the Tanzanian side to another statement victory.

🏀 Nairobi City Thunder vs Johannesburg Giants
This was the game of the night — and maybe of the entire qualifiers so far.

Thunder edged out the Giants 86–83, thanks to Eugene Odero’s explosive last-second dunk.

With Thunder up by 1 and just seconds to go, a crucial defensive rebound fell into their hands — setting up Odero for a banger dunk that sealed the win and sent the crowd into chaos. That final rebound + finish is the moment that saved the game for Nairobi City Thunder.

Thunder proved once again that they are one of the most dangerous teams in the East Division, especially in the clutch.

What this means:
Matero Magic is officially out from the Elite 16.
Dar City finishes group play undefeated.
Thunder shows championship heart — and Kenyan fans are feeling the BAL energy.
