Regular Season Round 17: Taipans - Kings 81-76
Date: January 29, 2016
Rather predictable result when sixth ranked Cairns Taipans (11-14) defeated at home bottom-ranked Kings (5-20) 81-76 on Friday. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning the initial quarter 22-16. But Kings won second period 19-17. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Cairns Taipans won last quarter 20-17. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 12 passes made by Kings' players. American forward Torrey Craig (198-90, college: USC Upstate) stepped up and scored 20 points and 5 rebounds for the winners and the former international power forward Cameron Tragardh (209-83, college: ORU) chipped in 18 points. The former international guard Jason Cadee (186-91) responded with 21 points and 4 assists and forward Tom Garlepp (203-86, college: UCSB) scored 16 points and 5 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Kings' coach Damian Cotter rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Cairns Taipans maintains sixth place with 11-14 record. Kings lost sixth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 20 games lost. Cairns Taipans will face higher ranked New Zealand Breakers (#5) in Auckland in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Kings will play on the road against the league's second-placed Perth Wildcats and hope to win that game.
