REG Mounts Epic Comeback, Edges Kepler 70-67 in Thriller

REG clawed their way back from an eight-point deficit to secure a dramatic 70-67 victory over Kepler BBC. REG started strong, establishing an early 9-point lead in the first quarter, but Kepler, led by the all-around brilliance of Jabulani Jabari Newby, chipped away to take a 32-31 lead into halftime.

The second half saw the lead change hands multiple times. Kepler extended their advantage to as much as eight points (42-50) in the third quarter, putting REG on the back foot. However, REG responded with a pivotal 12-0 scoring run, turning a 50-54 deficit into a commanding 62-54 lead. Despite Kepler's late surge, REG's dominance in fast break points (18-11) and points from turnovers (12-5) proved crucial in sealing the narrow three-point win.

Kepler's bench provided a significant spark with 22 points, but costly turnovers from key players like Chad Bowie Jordan (5) and a tough shooting night for others hampered their efforts. REG's resilience, particularly their ability to respond to Kepler's runs, ultimately made the difference.
