Jack Scully's side got the best of Team North West on Saturday.
Kavanagh's Portlaoise Panthers bounced back from a rare loss to register another win in the National League First Division on Saturday.
The Laois club were sunk by overtime free throws last time out against SETU Carlow, but found the going against Team North West significantly less stressful.
The Panthers ran out 74-65 winners over the Donegal outfit.
That result ensures Jack Scully's side stay within striking distance of Drogheda Wolves who lead the North Conference and Divisional standings by three points.
