 Brisbane Bullets won NBL Championship 2007
The Brisbane Bullets have claimed the 2006/07 Philips Championship, a
103-94 away victory over the defending titleholder the Melbourne Tigers
sealing a three-games-to-one result in the best-of-five Grand Final
series. CJ Bruton (188-G-75, agency:
Warren Sports, college:
Indian Hills CC) and Dusty Rychart led all scorers with 22 and 21
points, respectively, while Rashad Tucker and Darryl McDonald shared the
scoring honours for Melbourne with 17 apiece, Chris Anstey netted 16 and
Dave Thomas 14.

Melbourne Tigers - Brisbane Bullets: 94-103
The Tigers started confidently, with Tucker and Anstey combining for the
first 12 points, but Rychart kept the Bullets in touch before buckets to
Dillon Boucher and Adam Gibson gave the visitors their first lead at
13-12 with 4:22 to play in the first period. Thomas then fired up with
six points as the home side edged back in front, only for Sam Mackinnon
(13 points) to hit an exclamation-point three for a 24-22 quarter-time
advantage. When Mackinnon opened the second term with a basket and then
Stephen Black (11 points) hit his first points - a three - the lead was
suddenly out to seven, and a couple more Rychart baskets kept Brisbane
in front, even after Nathan Crosswell made the first three-pointer for
the Tigers five minutes into the quarter.
The Bullets found a variety of ways to score, through Bruton, Boucher,
Gibson and Rychart, stretching the lead to eight (41-33), before
McDonald sparked a sensational 19-5 run heading to the main break.
Back-to-back threes to Stephen Hoare and Anstey capped the run at 52-46,
but Bruton nailed a crucial late three to halve the deficit as they went
to the rooms (52-49). The Bullets again turned things around with a
flying start to the third period, through Rychart and Black, before both
teams showed signs of pressure with tentative play and numerous
turnovers. The lead changed hands five times in the quarter as things
turned scrappy, with Melbourne making just six field goals (from 16
attempts), being outscored 27-15, and a pair of Bruton triples to close
the term saw the Bullets turn for home leading 76-67. Mackinnon again
sparked the visitors with a trio of early last-term baskets to stretch
the advantage to 12 points and, despite three triples from Darryl
Corletto and a late Tucker-inspired charge, Bruton and former Tiger
stalwart Mark Bradtke stood firm.
