There were seven compelling games on Wednesday, plus two more on Tuesday, as the regular season in both the EABL and WEABL continues to head towards the finish line.
We take a look back at all the action below.
Barking Abbey (7-0) are one win away from claiming a first EABL South since 2022/23 after two wins in as many days.
Tuesday saw Coach Broadmore's side see off cross-town rivals City of London Academy - Southwark (6-2) 84-57 thanks to 16 points from trio Kervy Mabaya, Obinna Ekufu and Amarlie Wilkinson.
Things got even better 24 hours later as BA then beat Oaklands Wolves (1-5) 78-63 on Wednesday, with Mabaya (18pts) on form once again.
That means Barking now need just one more win, or a loss by CoLA, to secure top spot and the #1 seed going into the playoffs.
Itchen College (4-3) got the upper hand in the race for the South's #3 seed as they beat JMA Reading Rockets (3-4) 83-63.
Double-doubles from Dawid Cimochowski (19pts, 11reb) and Jaiden Dawes (11pts, 10reb) helped Itchen to the win as well as the tiebreaker between the two sides, should it be needed come season's end.
Isaac Spurrier (23pts) top-scored for JMA.
In the North, Manchester Magic's (7-1) quest to win the Conference stayed on track, but only just as they edged Derby Trailblazers (2-5) 70-69.
Demi Babalola had a massive 28-point, 15-rebound double-double as his side looked for someone to stand tall and carry them over the line, with Derby's Elias Norman and Casey Burr both dropping 26 points in the heart breaking loss for DTB.
Charnwood College Riders (5-2) continued their recent good form with a hard-fought 92-83 victory against BMET City of Birmingham Rockets (2-7).
Solid outings by Charnwood duo Edward Onyia (14pts, 10reb) and Tristan Curran (13pts, 8ast) got the job done for the hosts, cancelling out a quality 30-point day from BMet's Nektarios Papadopoulos.
Barking Abbey 84-57 City of London Academy - Southwark
Barking Abbey 78-63 Oaklands Wolves
Itchen College 83-63 JMA Reading Rockets
Charnwood College Riders 92-83 BMet City of Birmingham Rockets
Manchester Magic 70-69 Derby Trailblazers
Whilst it may have been Barking's week in the EABL, that wasn't the case in the WEABL.
City of London Academy - Southwark (7-1) had no problem seeing off Barking Abbey (2-6) on Tuesday, winning 70-39 behind 17 points from Debra Wilson-Osuide.
Oaklands Wolves (2-4) also enjoyed success in East London on Wednesday afternoon, leaving Barking with a 60-52 victory thanks to 18 points from Bo Frost.
It's looking like a winless campaign for JMA Reading Rockets (0-7) as they slipped to their seventh defeat in a row, going down 83-46 against Itchen College (4-3).
Twenty points from Faith McDowall and 19 more from Anna Idiata Mendez would prove to be too much for the visitors, who were led by Millie Day (30pts, 11reb).
In the North's only game, Charnwood College Riders (3-4) enjoyed a quality outing from Louise Fisher as they overcame The Sheffield College (1-4) 91-45.
Fisher's 27 points, 14 boards and four assists were more than enough to see off the South Yorkshire programme.
Barking Abbey 39-70 City of London Academy - Southwark
Barking Abbey 52-60 Oaklands Wolves
Itchen College 83-46 JMA Reading Rockets
The Sheffield College 91-45 Charnwood College Riders
