The Dharwad teams of Rovers, and Sports Authority of India (SAI) suffered their second straight loss. SAI, in particular, were unlucky to go down by only a point in a low scoring cliffhanger against Kanaka, Kolar. While the smaller towns suffered, the Bangalore city ballers from Indiranagar (IBBC) and Jayanagar (JSC) registered back-to-back wins.
In what turned out to be the most entertaining and high quality match of the evening, JSC defeated Southern Blues 67-53. Despite being a league encounter, the game was played with the intensity of a final. In the end, JSC’s balanced attack proved superior to the individual brilliance of some of Southern Blues’s players.
