The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Adelaide Lightning (18-4) at the home court on Saturday night. Hosts were rolled over by third ranked Dandenong Rangers (14-8) 82-51. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Adelaide Lightning. The game without a history. Dandenong Rangers led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Adelaide Lightning to just 7 points in first quarter. Dandenong Rangers held Adelaide Lightning to an opponent 22.9 percent shooting from the field compared to 41.0 percent accuracy of the winners. Dandenong Rangers looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. International guard Stephanie Cumming (178-90) scored 20 points and 9 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and the former international swingman Jenna O'Hea (185-87) chipped in 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. Four Dandenong Rangers players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was the former international center Suzy Batkovic-Brown (193-80) with 9 points and 15 rebounds and international center Abby Bishop (189-88) scored 12 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Dandenong Rangers have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 14-8 record having four points less than leader Adelaide. Adelaide Lightning at the other side still keeps top place with four games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
