The venue hosted the final South Island leg of the 3 x 3 national tour.
Basketball New Zealand hopes the three-on-three format will help introduce the sport to a new audience and encourage more people to take up the game.
The sport is vying for inclusion in the 2020 Olympics and BBNZ hopes to grow the tournament significantly during the next two years.
Basketball Otago general manager Markham Brown rated the Dunedin leg a success, although he was disappointed only 10 teams had entered.
''We were a little bit disappointed with the numbers, but we had quite a lot of people come down to watch it,'' Brown said.
''It is a great spot here at the stadium, and it was a good start as far as launching the tournament. We've got to build on the momentum and keep the three-on-three concept in people's minds.
''BBNZ is really trying to promote it because it is such a good development tool for normal basketball but it is also a colourful thing in itself - a bit like twenty20.''
The tournament was staged at the end of the stadium, on the concrete pad. The courts were about half the regular size and it made for a confusing spectacle at times with a different game played at each end of the court.
A lot of teams were not wearing an uniform, so there was a whirling flash of bodies luring your eye from one end to the other. There was plenty of action, though, in the 10min long games.
Three-on-three is more about offence than defence and there is very little break between scoring plays, which keeps things interesting.
The trio of Sam King, Tom Rowe and Olly Smith claimed victory in the final.
