In one of the most electrifying performances of the season, Russel Matanhire lit up the court with a 29-point outburst, hitting 7 out of 11 from beyond the arc to lead the Harare Kings to a crucial victory over the Gweru Giants.
From the moment he stepped on the court, Russel was in rhythm, sinking threes with precision and confidence, including back-to-back deep shots that brought the home crowd to its feet.
“Once I hit the first couple, I knew it was going to be a special night,” said Matanhire. “But credit goes to my teammates for finding me in the right spots and trusting the shot.”
Matanhire’s elite shooting wasn’t just flashy—it was vital. His scoring run helped the Kings break open a tight game and maintain control late into the fourth quarter.
Fans on social media are already calling it the “Russel Rain Game,” and if this form continues, the Kings’ title hopes for coming Super 6 season just got even brighter.
