Very important is a road loss of second ranked Cairns Taipans (17-10) against fifth ranked Melbourne Phoenix (15-13) on Wednesday night.

Melbourne Phoenix's coach Simon Mitchell allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. American forward DJ Hogg (203-1996, college: Texas A&M) responded with 24 points and 5 rebounds and New Zealand forward Samuel Waardenburg (208-1999, college: Miami, FL) produced a double-double by scoring 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Five Melbourne Phoenix and four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. Melbourne Phoenix have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain fifth place with 15-13 record. Cairns Taipans at the other side keep the second position with ten games lost. Melbourne Phoenix will play against Bullets (#9) in Brisbane in the next round.
