NAGPUR: With popular basketball phrase 'offence wins games, but defence wins championship' in mind, Dharampeth Krida Mandal (DKM) girls upped their defensive play to outclass arch rivals Shivaji Nagar Gymkhana (SNG) 43-40 and emerge Asmita Khelo India champions on Monday.
The summit clash of the nine-day U-17 girls tournament presented by the Basketball Federation of India (BFI) and Sports Authority of India (SAI) was a thrill-a-minute event, and a treat to watch for a packed crowd at the Shankar Nagar court, where the home team prevailed over the district youth champions.
