Regular Season Round 1: Bullets - Taipans 70-88

Date: October 13, 2018
There was a surprise result when Cairns Taipans (1-0) beat Bullets (1-1) in Brisbane 88-70 on Saturday. Cairns Taipans made 25-of-33 free shots (75.8 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Bullets were plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. Quite impressive performance for American guard Melo Trimble (190-95, college: Maryland) who helped to win the game recording 32 points and 5 rebounds. His fellow American import guard DJ Newbill (193-92, college: Penn St.) contributed with a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. New Zealand swingman Reuben Te-Rangi (198-94) answered with 18 points (made all of his seven free throws) and American guard Alonzo Gee (198-87, college: Alabama) added 8 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for Bullets. Bullets' coach let to play eleven players seeing no chance for a win. Cairns Taipans will face Illawarra Hawks (#8) in Gwynneville in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Bullets will play on the road against Perth Wildcats (#1) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
