Date: November 22, 2013
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Adelaide. First ranked Bendigo Spirit faced 4th ranked Adelaide Lightning. Guests from Bendigo (9-1) defeated host Adelaide Lightning (5-5) 84-76. The guests were already 15 points ahead after 3 quarters before a 29-22 Adelaide Lightning's run in the last quarter cut the lead to 84-76 at the end of the game. Bendigo Spirit made 20-of-26 charity shots (76.9 percent) during the game. American forward Kelsey Griffin (188-87, college: Nebraska) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 10 rebounds. International guard Kelly Wilson (170-84) contributed with 11 points and 4 assists for the winners. International center Laura Hodges (191-83) replied with 23 points and 8 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) and the former international guard Jess Foley (182-83, college: Duke) added 15 points in the effort for Adelaide Lightning. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Bendigo Spirit have an impressive nine-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 9-1 record. Adelaide Lightning at the other side dropped to the fifth place with five games lost. Bendigo Spirit will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Adelaide Lightning will play on the road against the league's second-placed Bulleen Boomers (#2) in Melbourne and hopes to get back on the winning track.
