Overtime!

[Wedgie]

Great effort in OT. Needed that W.

[Spargo]

Tough when it mattered. Nice, especially beating those arse-clowns.

Final-OT

Sixers 95
Bullets 84

We got there in the end at least.

Not very often you see a team lose an OT game in double figures

The NBL is such a great competition this year, no game is easy and the standard is pretty damn good, it's like the opposite to the A League atm.

The NZ Breakers have announced the signing of import Rakeem Christmas a 6'9" F/C to their vacant third import spot. Christmas played two seasons in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers from 2015-17 and played in Turkey earlier this season. To add him to the roster the Breakers have waived James Hunter.

Spices things up a bit when NZ were starting to look like they might not be a legitimate championship contender.

The Sydney Kings have released import Jeremy Tyler.

Dumb by Shorter

Extremely - he really went after him too.

[Gozu]

Dumb by Shorter

I don't think he liked that screen by Loughton.

[Gozu]

Moore's been exactly what I thought he could be with us this season. You can't expect him to carry a team night in night out but he can step up and win you a few games.
