New Delhi: The inaugural edition of the InBL Pro U25 came to a spectacular end at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium today as Gujarat Stallions clinched the title with a 77-69 comeback victory over Punjab Warriors. The Warriors led till half time but Mandeep Singh’s 16 points off the bench proved decisive, with Duach and Hankerson contributing 14 points each and Gujarat Stallions’ resilience and firepower saw them crowned champions of the first-ever InBL Pro U25.

BFI President Aadhav Arjuna and InBL Pro U25 Founder/Chairman Rupinder Brar awarded the Champions – Gujarat Stallions and runners up – Punjab Warrior. Star Punjabi rapper Jazzy B also featured, performing for the jam packed stadium as part of the post match celebrations.

The Warriors started strong, with Lucas Barker and Uche Dibiamaka helping them take an early five-point lead through solid defence and sharp shooting. Despite struggling initially, the Stallions dominated the boards, with Jock Perry controlling the paint and Trendon Hankerson sinking crucial three-pointers. Josh Duach’s athletic layup pushed the Stallions ahead, but Taane Samuel’s impact off the bench helped the Warriors close the first quarter three points up.

Momentum swung further in the Warriors’ favour in the second quarter when Stokley Chaffee’s two-handed dunk powered them to a 10-point lead. However, the Stallions fought back late, as Mandeep Singh and Hankerson struck from beyond the arc, and Perry’s free throws trimmed the deficit to just two points at halftime.

The third quarter saw both teams ramp up defensive intensity. While the Warriors focused on shutting down Nate Roberts in the paint, Hankerson and Singh’s three-pointers pushed the Stallions ahead. With the Warriors over the foul limit, Duach capitalized, scoring seven quick points to give the Stallions a 10-point cushion heading into the final quarter.

In a tense fourth quarter, the Warriors battled back through Gurbaz Sandhu and Chaffee, drawing fouls and cutting the gap. But Hankerson’s return to the floor reignited the Stallions’ offence. Mandeep Singh and Duach drained clutch three-pointers, stretching the lead to 14 points with three minutes remaining. Despite late pressure from the Warriors, the Stallions managed the clock expertly to seal their comeback victory.
