Regular Season Round 5: United - Taipans 87-65

Date: November 2, 2017
The game between closely ranked teams ended with 5th ranked Cairns Taipans' (3-5) road loss to fourth ranked United (4-3) in Melbourne 65-87 on Thursday. United outrebounded Cairns Taipans 39-28 including 24 on the defensive glass. American point guard Casper Ware (178-90, college: Long Beach St.) orchestrated the victory by scoring 26 points and 5 rebounds. The former international guard Chris Goulding (192-88) contributed with 20 points for the winners. American-Venezuelan forward Michael Carrera (196-93, college: S.Carolina) answered with 19 points and international swingman Cameron Gliddon (197-89, college: Concordia Irvine) added 8 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Cairns Taipans. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to get some rest. United moved-up to third place. Cairns Taipans lost their third game in a row. They keep the fifth position with five games lost. United will face bottom-ranked Kings (#8) in Sydney in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Cairns Taipans will play on the road against Bullets in Brisbane and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
