The finally of week 3 was a tough gritty performance from both Planet Buckets and the Tropics. Planet Buckets was able to attain a lead from a strong team effort on the boards and Troy Stewart scoring 21 points. The lead grew to 18 points, but in the second half the Tropics clawed their way back into it behind Tim Freeman's 23 points. This time Planet Buckets was able to hold on to their lead and snatch their third win in a row and tie the Pandas for the two seed. The Tropics remain a top the league, but no longer have a winning streak.
