Regular Season Round 15: Taipans - Kings 80-76
Date: January 17, 2015
Very expected game when 6th ranked Kings (8-12) lost on the road to second ranked Cairns Taipans (16-6) 80-76. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Kings won fourth quarter 24-19. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The best player for the winners was American guard Scottie Wilbekin (188-92, college: Florida) who scored 18 points and 8 assists. The former international power forward Matthew Burston (211-82) chipped in 21 points and 4 steals. Cairns Taipans' coach Aaron Fearne allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. At the other side the best for losing team was American swingman Josh Childress (203-83, college: Stanford) who recorded a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and the former international forward Cody Ellis (203-90, college: St.Louis) added 18 points and 5 rebounds respectively. Four Kings players scored in double figures. The victory was the fourth consecutive win for Cairns Taipans. They maintain second place with 16-6 record behind leader Breakers. Kings at the other side keep the sixth position with 12 games lost. Cairns Taipans' next round opponent will be Townsville Crocodiles (#7) in Wulguru which should be theoretically an easy game. Kings will play at home against Adelaide 36ers and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
