Regular Season Round 8: Taipans - Hawks 84-95

Date: December 7, 2018
Rather expected game when 8th ranked Cairns Taipans (1-10) were defeated at home by fifth ranked Illawarra Hawks (6-7) 95-84 on Friday. Illawarra Hawks dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Cairns Taipans' 26. It was a great shooting night for Illawarra Hawks especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 57.1 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Cairns Taipans were plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international swingman Todd Blanchfield (200-91) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 8 rebounds and American forward Brian Conklin (201-89, college: St.Louis) who added 17 points during the contest. Five Illawarra Hawks players scored in double figures. American guard Devon Hall (196-95, college: Virginia) responded with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists and his fellow American import guard Melo Trimble (190-95, college: Maryland) scored 19 points and 5 assists. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Illawarra Hawks have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain fifth position with 6-7 record. Cairns Taipans lost tenth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with ten games lost. Illawarra Hawks will face higher ranked Kings (#3) in Sydney in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Cairns Taipans will play at home against New Zealand Breakers (#7) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
