Recap
The first quarter saw a balanced start, with Sean Galea nailing an early three-pointer to give Depiro a quick lead. However, Starlites responded through Trevon Reddish-Rhone and Joe Davis, who converted on fast breaks to push their team ahead. David Bugeja’s three-pointer for Depiro tied the score at 7-7, but Davis was relentless, finishing a series of driving layups to keep Starlites in front.
By the end of the first, Starlites led 17-12, with a buzzer-beating three from Max Curran capping off an impressive start.
In the second quarter, the Starlites extended their lead, with Miguel Fabri and Reddish-Rhone both capitalising on turnovers. Depiro, led by Maltese-Australian Dom Tomasi and Brincat, fought back with timely three-pointers, but Starlites continued their surge. By halftime, Matthew Scerri’s hot hand from beyond the arc had pushed the score to 42-27 in favour of Starlites, who seemed in control.
However, Depiro, led by new coach Sasa Dimitrijevic, came out of the halftime break with renewed energy. Bugeja and Chase Barrs spearheaded a 10-0 run that trimmed Starlites’ lead, forcing the game to tighten. Cameron Cornelius and Tomasi added further blows to Starlites, and by the end of the third quarter, Depiro had taken the lead for the first time since the opening minutes, 49-48, with a late layup by Tomasi.
The fourth quarter became a tense affair. Starlites clawed back with Reddish-Rhone and Davis combining for crucial points, but Tomasi’s late three-pointer kept Depiro ahead by nine points. A remarkable comeback ensued, with Scerri and Davis hitting vital shots, and Reddish-Rhone tying the game at 67-67 with under two minutes to play. Both teams missed opportunities to seal the win in regulation, sending the game to overtime.
The first overtime was just as dramatic. Ian Felice Pace hit a clutch three-pointer to push Starlites ahead, but Bugeja’s response kept Depiro in the hunt. As the seconds wound down, it was Reddish-Rhone who levelled the game once more at 77-77, forcing a second overtime.
In the final stretch, Davis continued his offensive heroics, sinking a crucial three-pointer to push Starlites ahead 82-81. Despite Barrs’ late-game heroics to tie the game at 84-84, it was Davis who had the final say, intercepting a turnover and driving to the basket for the game-winning layup with just five seconds remaining, sealing an unforgettable 86-85 win for Starlites.
