With top side Sydney Kings having a week off, 2nd spot was up for grabs when the Brisbane Bullets hosted Melbourne Tigers at the Brisbane Convention Centre. And the match was a cracker, with fortunes fluctuating through the evening before the home side held the lead as the final siren went. Ebi Ere with 39 points and CJ Bruton with 30 led the way for the Bullets, while Tigers' import Sean Lampley landed 24 for the Melbourne side. It was part of a split weekend for the Tigers after they had earlier defeated Adelaide 36ers 110-92. Adelaide were also in a split weekend when they bounced back to humiliate the Razorbacks at the State Sports Centre. Gold Coast maintained their position in the top 4, but didn't have things all their own way as the Singapore Slingers continued to fight and only narrowly went down by 5 points. But the Slingers had a better time at the Cairns Convention Centre when they stunned the Taipans by 4 points. It was another weekend in the summer of discontent for the Wollongong Hawks; first defeated by 2 points by New Zealand and then by 10 points by Townsville. In other results, the Razorbacks kept their slim finals hopes alive with a 14-point win over bottom side Singapore, while Perth Wildcats were far too good for the struggling South Dragons and raced away to a 28-point win. |
