| Brisbane Bullets were undefeated at home last season, turning the Brisbane Convention Centre into a fortress on their run to the championship. But their imposing home winning streak came to an end when Sydney Kings jumped them early and held on to take a 10-point victory, despite a strong performance from former King CJ Bruton who landed 33 points. But for the Kings, ecstacy turned into agony on Saturday night when the Kings blew a half-time lead to go down to cross-town rivals West Sydney Razorbacks by 7 points at the State Sports Centre. The losses to the Bullets and the Kings saw Melbourne Tigers go to the top of the ladder after the Tigers defeated the Slingers at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The Tigers are now the only undefeated team in the competition, while the struggling Slingers have only tasted victory once this season. It was a weekend to forget for the Adelaide 36ers, going down twice; first to NZ Breakers and then to Townsville, the Crocodiles breaking a 5-game losing streak. Competition newcomers Gold Coast Blaze moved into the top 8 for the first time after a 106-92 home win over Wollongong. Another low-scoring game for Cairns Taipans, but they were on the wrong side of the result at Challenge Stadium with the Wildcats taking the points. And in the longest road trip for a domestic sporting competition, New Zealand travelled to Singapore and returned with the points after a comfortable 116-99 victory. |
