Star point guard Chad Bowie led the power offense for Kepler, bagging game high 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes.

Bowie had little support from Kepler&039;s roster, with star guard Guibert Nijimbere scoring 14 points on a 14 percent three-point shooting.

APR's deep roster lived up to expectations contributing 24 points against Kepler's 10 points from the bench.

The local powerhouse also had a staggering 50 points in the paint, thanks in large part to American center Dario Hunt and new boy Osborn Shema.

Kepler found the rhythm in the second quarter of the game, only to come short of the same energy in the last two quarters.

With the win, APR stands with 19 points at the ranking table. They return to league action on Friday, June 7, when they take on Inspired Generation at Lycee de Kigali gymnasium.
