The Dockers were crowned champions on Sunday after seeing off Equity 68-56 in the crucial Game Four match played at the Makande Gymnasium in Mombasa.

KPA took a 2-1 series lead on Saturday when they hit the banker 68-44 in Game Three.

Last week, Equity Dumas tied the series 1-1 after coming from behind to edge the Dockers in Game two by a basket. The Bankers won 70-69 after KPA won 62-53 in Game One.
