Regular Season Round 23: Illawarra H. - Cairns 96-78
Date: January 3, 2026
There was no surprise in Wollongong where 10th rankedTaipans (5-17) were defeated by eighth ranked Hawks (8-13) 96-78 on Saturday. Illawarra H. dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Taipans ' 28. It was a great evening for American center Javale McGee (213-1988, college: Nevada) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds. His fellow American import guard Tyler Harvey (194-1993, college: EWU) helped adding 18 points and 5 rebounds. Four Hawks players scored in double figures. New Zealand forward Samuel Waardenburg (208-1999, college: Miami, FL) responded with 17 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and naturalized American forward Kyrin Galloway (203-1999, college: UNCG) scored 9 points and 9 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Illawarra H. moved-up to seventh place. Cairns lost their fourth game in a row. They stay at the bottom position with 17 games lost. Illawarra H. will meet league's second-placed SE Melbourne on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Cairns will play against Melbourne Utd (#3) and hope to secure a win.
