United Generations For Basketball Rallies Past REG in Hard-Fought Battle

REG started strong, taking a narrow 21-20 lead in the first quarter, hinting at a potential upset.

However, UGB found their rhythm in the second quarter, outscoring REG 22-18 to claim a 42-39 lead by halftime, a lead they would not relinquish. UGB extended their advantage to as much as 11 points during the game and maintained their composure in the crucial third quarter, winning it 24-23 and holding a 66-62 lead entering the final period. A decisive 19-15 run in the fourth quarter sealed the 85-77 win for UGB, showcasing their ability to close out games.
