Ball Hogs took the win against Miami 305 in the Big3 on Friday night, closing out a 50-47 result on 1 August 2026. The visitors had been playing solid basketball of late, and the result kept them in the mix at the top of the table. Miami, by then sitting fourth, had drawn level in their recent run before this one went against them.
Both sides came in with five games under their belts and no points on the board yet — the season was still finding its shape. Ball Hogs held third place with three victories and two defeats, while Miami sat in fourth with two wins and three losses. The gap between them was narrow, and this match tightened it further.
Miami had shown they could score in bursts, beating Triplay 50-40 on 26 July and Power 51-44 a week later. Ball Hogs had their own streak, edging LA Riot 50-48 on 24 July and Triplay 51-27 on 19 July. Both teams had been competitive in every outing, and neither looked like they were running away with anything.
And here's the thing about a 50-47 scoreline — it tells you the game was decided in moments, not by dominance. Ball Hogs managed to find enough to pull ahead when it mattered, while Miami's attack never quite found its rhythm. The visitors saw it out without letting their guard down.
By then, Miami's fourth-place position was under pressure. Ball Hogs moved closer to the leaders, though the table still had room to shift. The result extended Ball Hogs' winning habits and cut short Miami's run of consistency. What happens next will depend on how both sides respond.
