Regular Season Round 13: Kings - Taipans 87-77
Date: January 2, 2016
Bottom-ranked Kings managed to get a fifth victory, breaking the series of four consecutive losses. This time they won against sixth-ranked Cairns Taipans in Sydney 87-77. It looked good early as Cairns Taipans took a 6-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Kings had a 21-13 second period charge getting the lead and Cairns Taipans were not able to take back game control losing it eventually 77-87. Kings made 17-of-22 charity shots (77.3 percent) during the game. Strangely Cairns Taipans outrebounded Kings 47-33 including 16 on the offensive glass. They brought some defensive toughness making 12 blocks. The former international guard Jason Cadee (186-91) stepped up and scored 21 points and 6 assists for the winners and American swingman Josh Childress (203-83, college: Stanford) chipped in 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. At the losing side guard Shaun Bruce (190-91) responded with 17 points and 8 rebounds and American forward Torrey Craig (198-90, college: USC Upstate) scored 17 points and 7 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Kings maintains eighth place with 5-15 record. Cairns Taipans at the other side keep the sixth position with 11 games lost. Kings will play against higher ranked Illawarra Hawks (#3) in Gwynneville in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Cairns Taipans will play at home against Townsville Crocodiles and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
