Regular Season Round 5: United - Taipans 87-80

Date: November 11, 2018
Very expected game in Melbourne where 8th ranked Cairns Taipans (1-6) were defeated by third ranked United (6-3) 87-80 on Sunday. United made 22-of-24 free shots (91.7 percent) during the game. American point guard Casper Ware (178-90, college: Long Beach St.) stepped up and scored 34 points (!!!) and 6 assists (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) for the winners and international guard Mitchell McCarron (191-92, college: Metro St.) chipped in 16 points and 9 rebounds (was perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line !!!). United's coach Dean Vickerman allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. The former international power forward Nathan Jawai (209-86, college: Midland CC) responded with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) and American guard Melo Trimble (190-95, college: Maryland) scored 19 points and 4 assists. Four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. Defending champion moved-up to second place. Cairns Taipans lost sixth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with six games lost. United will face Bullets (#5) in Brisbane in the next round. Cairns Taipans will play at home against the league's leader Perth Wildcats and hope to win that game.
