Date: March 17, 2012
There was a minor upset when 5th ranked Cairns Taipans (14-13) were defeated at home by seventh ranked Kings (11-16) 80-74. The guests were already 12 points ahead after 3 quarters before a 22-16 Cairns Taipans' run in the last quarter cut the lead to 80-74 at the end of the game. 27 personal fouls committed by Cairns Taipans helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for the former international center Julian Khazzouh (209-86) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 17 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Naturalized Kazakhstan swingman Anatoly Bose (200-88, college: Nicholls St., agency: Priority Sports) contributed with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. Four Kings players scored in double figures. American point guard Jamar Wilson (185-84, college: Albany, agency: Pro One Sports) replied with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international power forward Alexander Loughton (205-83, college: ODU) added 17 points in the effort for Cairns Taipans. Cairns Taipans' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Kings moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Tigers. Cairns Taipans lost third consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with 13 games lost. Kings' next round opponent will be bottom-ranked Wollongong Hawks (#9) in Gwynneville.
