Bilbos win without Vukona

Lebanese National Basketball League side Biblos secured a 70-66 road wins in the second of a best of five game series against Moutahed on Thursday.

Once again Mika Vukona was a spectator as Biblos moved to within one victory of a semi final play-off spot. The Breakers and Nelson Giants forward has linked up with Biblos to provide injury cover.

Vukona will bump into a familiar foe if he is required to play in the pivotal third game this weekend.

Moutahed, facing the prospect of elimination from the play-offs have drafted Corey ‘Homicide’ Williams into their team for their must win game. Williams played four seasons in the Australian NBL, three with Townsville crocodiles (2007-10) and one with Melbourne Tigers (2110/11). He was voted the MVP of the League in 2010.
