Ball Hogs secured a narrow 51-49 victory over Power in their BIG3 encounter on 22 August 2026. The hosts had been riding a wave of confidence, but the visitors found a way through in the closing moments. By then, the match had already shown signs of being decided on fine margins.
The result shifts the standings slightly, with Power dropping to second place while Ball Hogs move up to third. Both sides have played five games, and this one-timer keeps the table tight. To be fair, neither team has drawn a single game all season.
Power came into the fixture with four wins from five, having beaten Miami 305, Triplets, Detroit Emps, and Houston Rig Hands. Their only defeat had come against Miami 305 back in mid-July. That loss to Miami was the closest they had come to trouble.
Ball Hogs had been less consistent, sitting on three wins and two defeats. They had lost to Detroit Emps 51-39 and previously fallen to Miami 305 and LA Riots. But they had also put up big scores against Triplets and Trilogy, showing they could change tempo when needed.
The two-point margin leaves Power still in the upper echelon but with a reminder that nothing is guaranteed. Ball Hogs clawed their way back into contention with this away win. The gap between second and third remains razor-thin, and there is plenty of football left to play — or in this case, basketball.
