Regular Season Round 20: Cairns - Melbourne 97-88

Date: February 16, 2024
The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked United (20-8) on the court of eighth ranked Cairns Taipans on Friday night. Visitors were defeated by Cairns Taipans 97-88. Cairns made 23-of-29 free shots (79.3 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. 28 personal fouls committed by Melbourne helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American guard Tahjere McCall (193-1994, college: Tennessee St.) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 23 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists. The other American import guard Patrick Miller (185-1992, college: Tennessee St., agency: Slash Sports) contributed with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. The former international guard Matthew Dellavedova (193-1990, college: SMC) replied with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists and the former international swingman Luke Travers (200-2001) added 10 points and 13 rebounds in the effort for Melbourne. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. United's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Cairns maintains eighth position with 12-16 record, which they share with Adelaide. Melbourne at the other side still keeps top place with eight games lost.
