Regular Season Round 1: Tigers - Kings 82-76

Date: October 7, 2011
The game in Melbourne was also quite interesting. Bottom-ranked Kings (0-1) played at the court of leader Melbourne Tigers (1-0). Melbourne Tigers managed to secure a 6-point victory 82-76 on Friday. It was a key game for the second position in the league. The hosts trailed by 10 points after three quarters before their 33-17 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Melbourne Tigers forced 19 Kings turnovers. The former international point guard Patrick Mills (183-88, college: St.Mary's, CA) stepped up and scored 28 points for the winners and American guard Ayinde Ubaka (193-85, college: California) chipped in 22 points. At the losing side the former international center Julian Khazzouh (210-86) responded with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 14 rebounds and American power forward Jerai Grant (203-89, college: Clemson) scored 16 points. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Melbourne Tigers left bottom position moving up to second place, which they share with Wildcats and Taipans. Loser Kings still closes the standings with one game lost. Melbourne Tigers will face Perth Wildcats (#4) on the road in the next round. Kings will play against the league's leader New Zealand Breakers (#1) in Auckland.
