Vinay (17) and Nitin (12) spurred Blues to a 25-16 lead at half time.

Mounts pulled ahead in extra time with eleven points while Blues could only muster six.
In another match, Adeel found the hoop with ease as he top-scored for Ambedkar Basketball Club with 22 points in their 67-37 win over DRDO. Vignesh scored a team-high 20 points for DRDO but his efforts fell short.
