Regular Season Round 2: Blaze - Taipans 82-91

Date: October 16, 2011
The game in Broadbeach was also worth to mention about. Fifth ranked Cairns Taipans (2-1) played at the court of bottom-ranked Gold Coast Blaze (0-2). Cairns Taipans managed to secure a 9-point victory 91-82. Gold Coast Blaze was ahead by 3 points at the halftime before a 47-35 second half run of Cairns Taipans. American guard Andrew Warren (195-87, college: Bradley, agency: Interperformances) notched 28 points and 4 assists (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field) to lead the effort and the former international swingman Brad Hill (198-86) supported him with 13 points and 7 assists. Even 16 points and 8 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) by American forward Will Hudson (206-89, college: Oakland) did not help to save the game for Gold Coast Blaze. International guard Adam Gibson (188-86) added 15 points and 7 assists for the hosts. Four Cairns Taipans and five Gold Coast Blaze players scored in double figures. Cairns Taipans moved-up to third place. Gold Coast Blaze at the other side still closes the standings with two games lost. They share the position with 36ers and Kings. Cairns Taipans will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Gold Coast Blaze will play on the road against Wollongong Hawks (#5) in Gwynneville and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
