Great finish


Love the way they got around each other at the end of the game

The kind of win that you can really build on, I think we're 6-5 now but a tough stretch ahead.

Was so awesome standing courtside watching the last few minutes of the game, awesome!

News has come to light that 36ers back up point guard Adam Doyle has a stress fracture in his foot and will be out for 8-10 weeks so quite possibly season ending.

[Wedgie]

Shame about Doyle, he impressed me with his tenacity and was great on D.
I'll be there again Sunday watching courtside. I have the best jobs.

Terrible news former Melbourne Tigers forward Blair Smith's body has been found in Boyne Valley, QLD believed to be suicide. He was 45. Smith won an NBL championship with the Tigers in 1997 and also played with Brisbane, West Sydney & Townsville during his career.

Jerome Randle took a shot at Mitch Creek last night on twitter when he went down injured early in the game.

Randle's since deleted it but pretty poor though.
