InBL Pro U25: In a nail-biting encounter that went down to the wire, the Gujarat Stallions avenged their earlier tournament loss with a hard-fought 74-72 victory over the Chennai Heat in the InBL Pro U25 basketball league at the Thyagraj Indoor Stadium here on Monday. Despite the win, the Stallions find themselves on the backfoot on a head-to-head basis as the Chennai Heat beat them by eight points in the previous encounter between the two teams.

The game featured multiple lead changes and stellar performances from both sides, with Trendon Hankerson and Jock Perry leading the charge for the Stallions. Quarter one of the game saw the Chennai Heat take an early lead, spearheaded by Arvinder Singh, who started with impressive two-point and three-point moves. This set a strong platform for the Chennai Heat to maintain their advantage throughout the opening period.

Matt Gray picked up the responsibility for his team, carrying the ball well across the court and finding the basket with a couple of three-pointers. This allowed the Chennai Heat to carry a 17-13 lead heading into the second quarter, with the Gujarat Stallions relying on Trendon Hankerson's consistent performance.
