The first game of week 3 started off as a fast paced scoring affair. The Tropics held a decent lead for a large portion of the game, but thanks to Noah Coleman's 17 points and Anthony Poco's 16 points the Pandas fought back to bring the game within five with only four minutes left. However, the late scoring bursts from both Darren Rita who ended with 26 points and Tim Freeman who lead the team with 27 points propelled the Tropics to a 25 point victory.
