Crazy score.
So inconsistent this season but take the win

The Tasmania JackJumpers have re-signed coach Scott Roth putting him under contract until 2027.

What do we make of the ladder and only 3 wins from last to 3rd?

Or does it show Melbourne and Perth at moment are in a league of their own?

Tassie with a good win

Should/could have won by more.

Had a better percentage from 3 point territory than the 2. Almost unheard of. Outrebounded Melbourne by 20. Huge.

36ers beat the Hawks 96-89

We've won 4 of our last 5 games and now off the bottom of the ladder too!

Sydney v Perth

I suspect Sydney win here

Sydney poor from outside just blazing away

Cotton brings up 5000 career points.

Sydney with a better 2nd qtr

Down by 1 at the half

Perth by 8 with 5mins left

Big win on road on short backup

Brisbane with a good win away at Cairns
