The 2019 championship victory, now sees Egoli Magic officially become the most successful team in the league, surpassing the Tshwane Suns back-to-back title wins in 2013 and 2014.
The defending champions, the Soweto Panthers according to the season’s statistics, were once again the front runners to claiming the 2019 honors and defend what they achieved in 2018. Unfortunately for them, the game is not just played off just statistics but the crucial part is to also perform in the big moments.

They were closely followed by the Tshwane Suns, who also only lost one game, they however managed to score a staggering 689 points, whilst only conceding 501 points, making them the best team defensively during the log phase of the tournament. The eventual champions, Egoli Magic finished third at this stage of the competition, picking up 16 points just 1 point shy of the two leaders. The Mpumalanga Rhinos and the Western Cape Mountaineers then took up the fourth and fifth spots, with 14 points apiece. Limpopo Pride showed the greatest improvement, winning 4 of their 9 games and finishing the log phase in the sixth position after accumulating 13 points, narrowly missing out on a playoff spot. The Northern Cape Zebra, Eastern Cape Mountaineers, Kwa-Zulu Marlins, and North-West Eagles all completed the pool stage of the tournament on 11 points, with points difference determining where the teams finished. The end of the log phase of the tournament then saw the Soweto Panthers, Tshwane Suns, Egoli Magic, and the Mpumalanga Rhinos making the playoff stage.
The teams battled each other in the playoffs, with the semifinal stage eventually seeing the Soweto Panthers firstly winning their game on forfeit against the Mpumalanga Rhinos, whilst Egoli Magic had to put in a big shift to defeat the Tshwane Suns 64-51. The final was then between to heavyweights in the Panthers and Magic. The Panthers were favorites going into the match after having put in stellar performances leading up to the final, even finishing at the top in the log phase of the championship. Egoli Magic on the other hand finished third, but that did not seem to bother them in the final, where they left it late to clinch an incredibly tight contest 59-55 and be crowned the 2019 champions, after a 3-year barren spell.
