Regular Season Round 12: Cairns - SE Melbourne 94-75

Date: December 22, 2023
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 6th ranked Melbourne Phoenix (9-9) was crushed on the road by seventh ranked Cairns Taipans (8-9) 94-75 on Friday. Cairns made 20-of-22 free shots (90.9 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. The best player for the winners was American guard Patrick Miller (185-1992, college: Tennessee St., agency: Slash Sports) who scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. New Zealand forward Samuel Waardenburg (208-1999, college: Miami, FL) chipped in 20 points and 6 rebounds. Four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. At the other side the best for losing team was American center Alan Williams (203-1993, college: UCSB) who recorded 29 points and 8 rebounds and Egyptian-American forward Abdel Nader (198-1993, college: Iowa St.) added 12 points and 6 rebounds respectively. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Cairns moved-up to sixth place. SE Melbourne lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the fifth position with nine games lost. Cairns will meet at home league's leader Melbourne in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. SE Melbourne will play against Brisbane (#7) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
