Final

Sixers 91
Taipans 86

Bryce Cotton 53 points!

Another win but another heavy reliance on Cotton.

[Brodlach]

The other 4 starters basically stood there while Cotton ran around trying to score

I take a win in Cairns at anytime though, tough to win there.

It is quite noticeable that we are giving away a lot less fouls, only 10 last night and 4 of those were on Rakocevic who only played 12 minutes. Almost all the fouls were on a shooter.This means we are not giving up anything on the dribble or pass, and we do not put teams in the bonus should we foul late in tight games.

Also keeps the flow going which with “Fine Cotton “ means he is completely controlling the offence.

Wow.

Goorjian ejected end of third. Sydney up by 8.

Sydney win by 22. Perth putrid in the last.

Rillie very good for Perth but needs someone 9n the outside to make the defence work harder.

Sunday Dech. Zero offensive threat still. Teams fool themselves if they think you can run a team with a player who does not look to score often and scores rarely. Great decision by us to release him.
