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

Oduro wrapped up the win with a double-double, putting in a big shift when it mattered most. It was the kind of second-half surge that gives a rivalry real bite.

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