Melbourne United got the better of South East Melbourne Phoenix in the NBL Melbourne derby on October 10, clawing back from a 15-point deficit to secure victory. The game became a dramatic Throwdown thriller that kept fans on edge.

Oduro put the game away with a double-double, delivering a standout performance when it mattered most. It was the kind of comeback win that defines derby football.

In other NBL action on the same night, the Perth Wildcats took on the New Zealand Breakers in a standalone game.
