Melbourne United defeated South East Melbourne Phoenix in the NBL Melbourne derby on October 10, recovering from a 15-point deficit to take the points. The game turned into a dramatic Throwdown thriller that went down to the wire.

Oduro sealed the result 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 separate fixture.
