Regular Season Round 17: Bendigo - Townsville 77-83

Date: February 5, 2017
The game in Bendigo was also quite interesting. Fourth ranked Townsville Fire (13-9) played at the court of 5th ranked Bendigo Spirit (11-10). Townsville Fire managed to secure a 6-point victory 83-77 on Sunday. The guests took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Bendigo Spirit won third quarter 27-14. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Townsville Fire made 23-of-29 free shots (79.3 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Townsville Fire made 10 blocks. The best player for the winners was the former international center Suzy Batkovic-Brown (195-80) who scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. Guard Mia Murray (184-88) chipped in 22 points. American forward Kelsey Griffin (188-87, college: Nebraska) produced 28 points and 8 rebounds and Canadian power forward Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe (188-91, college: Simon Fraser) added 12 points and 14 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Defending champion maintains fourth place with 13-9 record. Loser Bendigo Spirit keeps the fifth position with ten games lost. They share it with Canberra. Townsville Fire will meet at home league's second-placed Dandenong Rangers in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Bendigo Spirit will play against Canberra Capitals and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
