Melbourne United beat South East Melbourne Phoenix in the NBL Melbourne derby on October 10, recovering from a 15-point deficit to secure victory. The game became a dramatic Throwdown thriller that went down to the wire.

Oduro put the game away with a double-double, putting in a big shift when it mattered most. It was the kind of second-half surge that makes derby nights special.

In other NBL action on the same night, the Perth Wildcats took on the New Zealand Breakers in a second matchup on the card.
