American Tevin Kelly put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Hydrabad S., receiving a Court Side Player of the Week award for round 3. The player was the main contributor (51 points, seven rebounds and six assists) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Bengaluru (#4, 0-2), the league's bottom-ranked team 113-103. Hydrabad S. is placed at 3rd position in their group in Indian UBA League. Hydrabad S. is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings.

The second best player in last round's games was 26-year old American Chris Solomon (191-G-90) of Bengaluru. Solomon had a very good evening with 48 points and 4 rebounds. Bad luck as Bengaluru lost that game 103-113 to Hydrabad S. (1-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games.
