Melbourne United beat 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 turned into a dramatic Throwdown thriller that went down to the wire.

Oduro sealed the result 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 welcomed the New Zealand Breakers in a separate fixture.
