Date: January 7, 2012
The game between closely ranked teams ended with 7th ranked Gold Coast Blaze's (6-7) road loss to sixth ranked Kings (8-9) 96-102. It looked good early as Gold Coast Blaze took an 3-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Kings had a 33-28 second period charge getting the lead and Gold Coast Blaze was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 96-102. Kings forced 23 Gold Coast Blaze turnovers. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. Kings brought some defensive toughness making 7 blocks. 31 personal fouls committed by Gold Coast Blaze helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American power forward Jerai Grant (203-89, college: Clemson) notched a double-double by scoring 23 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the effort and the former international center Julian Khazzouh (209-86) supported him with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. Even a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds by the former international forward Mark Worthington (202-83, college: Metro St.) did not help to save the game for Gold Coast Blaze. International guard Adam Gibson (188-86) added 15 points and 4 assists for the guests. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Gold Coast Blaze's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Kings moved-up to fifth place. Gold Coast Blaze at the other side keeps the seventh position with seven games lost. Kings' next round opponent will be Townsville Crocodiles (#6) in Wulguru. Gold Coast Blaze will play on the road against Melbourne Tigers.
