Keon Thompson Jr finished with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists as Manchester Basketball fell 91–94 to Caledonia Gladiators in a three-point loss at home. The guard shot efficiently from the field (9/14, including 2/5 from three) and did not miss from the free-throw line (4/4), yet it was not enough to prevent the defeat in the Super League Basketball regular season. Thompson Jr's performance underlines Manchester's threat on offence, but the narrow margin reflects a contest decided by marginal moments rather than any gulf in quality. Caledonia held firm when it mattered most, leaving the hosts to rue what might have been.
