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 take the points. The game became a dramatic Throwdown thriller that had the crowd gripped.

Oduro put the game away with a double-double, coming up clutch when it mattered most. It was the kind of hard-fought victory that gives a rivalry real bite.

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