Kevin Chogo once again delivered when it mattered most as he anchored Thunder to a 75-73 win over Ulinzi Warriors in Game One of the Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) men’s Premier League final play-offs on Tuesday night, at Nyayo Gymnasium.

Thunder, who are playing in their first-ever final, shook off a slow start that had seen them trail the former champions by six points at half-time to take the third and fourth quarters for a 1-0 lead in the five-game series.
