Date: July 20, 2025
The game between Top Four teams took place in Mbombela. 4th ranked host Rhinos (0-3) lost to third ranked Eagles (2-2) 67-55. Eagles forced 23 Rhinos turnovers. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. Eagles brought some defensive toughness making 7 blocks. The winners were led by Jeremie Luvaika who had that evening a double-double by scoring 22 points and 15 rebounds and Phenyo Gomba supported him with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Eagles' coach allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Even a double-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks by Lehlohonolo Mhlongo did not help to save the game for Rhinos. Guard Vusi Sibeko (-1991) added 9 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists for the hosts. Eagles maintains third position with 2-2 record having just two points less than leader Suns. Rhinos at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
