The SM-40v basketball finals showcased an electrifying showdown on April 14, 2025, between the home team, Venom, and their formidable opponents, BC Lepi. In what turned out to be a decisive victory, the defending champions secured the title. The game ended 100-67 in Venom’s favor, making them back-to-back champions of the SM-40v league.

Despite a rocky start that saw Venom trailing at the end of the first quarter, the team quickly regrouped and turned the game around, ramping up their defensive pressure in the second quarter. This strategic shift disrupted BC Lepi’s rhythm and gave Venom the upper hand. The players showcased exceptional teamwork and determination, ultimately taking control of the tempo of the game.

Venom’s calm and deliberate playstyle was a highlight of the match. Their ability to score both in the paint and from beyond the three-point line kept BC Lepi on their toes. This versatility in scoring not only showcased Venom’s offensive capabilities but also demonstrated their tactical approach to controlling the game.

On the other side, BC Lepi put up a commendable fight with an array of long-range three-pointers. However, as the game progressed, Venom’s defense adapted effectively, limiting their opportunities and forcing turnovers. The resolute performance from Venom, especially in the second and fourth quarters, left a lasting impression, solidifying their win in the SM-40v Championship. 

Ultimately, Venom’s victory in the SM-40v finals is a testament to their hard work and dedication over the season.
