Regular Season Round 14: Cairns - SE Melbourne 94-85

Date: January 8, 2023
The game between closely ranked teams ended with third ranked Cairns Taipans' (14-7) home victory over 4th ranked Melbourne Phoenix (12-11) 94-85 on Sunday. American guard Tahjere McCall (193-1994, college: Tennessee St.) notched 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) to lead the effort and the other American import point guard Shannon Scott (191-1992, college: Ohio St., agency: Slash Sports) supported him with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Even 25 points and 7 rebounds by the former international swingman Mitch Creek (196-1992) did not help to save the game for Melbourne Phoenix. American center Alan Williams (203-1993, college: UCSB) added 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Cairns Taipans have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place. Melbourne Phoenix lost third consecutive game. They keep the fourth position with 11 games lost. Cairns Taipans will meet New Zealand Breakers (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Melbourne Phoenix will play against Bullets and hope to secure a win.
