Regular Season Round 25: Melbourne - Perth 69-82

Date: May 5, 2021
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked United (22-6) in Melbourne on Wednesday night. Hosts were defeated by second ranked Perth Wildcats (20-7) 82-69. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. Perth Wildcats forced 19 United turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. American forward John Mooney (206-98, college: Notre Dame, agency: Pensack Sports) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 30 points and 14 rebounds for the winners and his fellow American import guard Bryce Cotton (182-92, college: Providence, agency: Pensack Sports) chipped in 16 points and 10 assists. At the losing side naturalized Sudanese center Jo Lual-Acuil (213-94, college: Baylor) responded with 8 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks and the former international center Jock Landale (211-95, college: St.Mary's, CA) scored 11 points. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Defending champion maintains second place with 20-7 record having just three points less than leader Melbourne. United at the other side still keeps top position with six games lost. Perth Wildcats will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. United will play again on the road against the league's second-placed Perth Wildcats and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
