Former Nigeria captain Ime Udoka thrilled after first NBA win as a coach

Former captain of Nigeria’s national men’s basketball team Ime Udoka is happy to have finally secured his first win as a head coach in the National Basketball Association after leading the Boston Celtics to their maiden win of the on-going season.

The Celtics, 17-time winners of the NBA championship, defeated the Rockets 107-97 on Sunday night in Houston to record their first win of the 2021/2022 season.

Although Udoka made mention of how long it took to get his first win, it didn’t take that long. Three games to be exact.

But it probably felt like an eternity from Udoka’s vantage point after starting the season off with back-to-back losses.
