Melbourne United secured a 95-91 victory over the South East Melbourne Phoenix, relying on a significant rebounding advantage to overcome a disciplined Phoenix performance. Despite both teams shooting effectively from the perimeter—Melbourne at 37.8% and South East Melbourne at 37.9%—the home side’s ability to control the glass proved the difference.
