Reggie K carried the team this game as he loaded up from outside hitting fire from downtown and a couple of tough finishes inside and with some help from big man Joe who was mixing things up in the paint they combine for 35 points but in the second half they ran out of options except for Reggie putting in buckets all game and they took this loss and an early exit to their postseason and dreams of a championship will have to wait till next season...Dellys having a dream run last few games and if they keep this up they could surprise everyone taking out a chip this season in the stuck division....

2nd place That’s a Gimme knew what they had to do against 3rd place Circle Dirk in a clinic, taking advantage of lesser defensive matchup. Top point getters in this game were, Jake L ( 24 ) leading his team & Brody (8) & CAMERON S ( 7 ) . The other teams' top scorers were; Jaz M ( 10 ) , & Fletcher Rawlinson ( 9 ) . That’s a Gimme Went to the mid-range straightaway and it was Jake lurking around the top of the key doing the big time damage hitting nine inside and two outside the arc punishing the defence for not getting to him.. He was supported by him Cameron and Ryan as the brothers combined 13 points which helped get the team a sizable lead at the half leading by double digits already and that's all they needed as they defended their lead well in the second half limiting the scorers and double teaming their top man Fletch you still managed to put in 9 points but he was Jaz that took the team higher as he muscled his way into the key driving and putting in some tough buckets through contact, But in the second half they still couldn't recover scoring wise from the first half and took the lost this game ending their season but hold their heads high as they fought to the end in this game...That's a Gimme continue their strong play and look towards the grand finals next week where they aim to take it all!

1st place Headless Bronnies grinded out a win in back and forth match vs 4th ranked Kings in a game decided by a bucket or so. Top performers in this game were, Lachlan Crane ( 24 ) leading the way & Ben Lewis ( 13 ) . Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Chris O ( 12 ) , & James F, Brendon W & Talon ( 9ea ) . Headless Bronnies Were on the back foot most game as they didn't shoot very well in the first half and as a result were in a 14 point hole going into the second half but that's when they started chipping away and they had Lachlan and Ben doing most of the damage as they combined for 37 points... Lachlan was unstoppable getting to his spots to shoot and hit three from downtown but it was Ben who made up the chunk of the run with nine free throws getting them close enough to take a small lead in the last minute...The Kings led by 14 but it was all downhill from there as some bad decisions and some streaky free-throw shooting allowed the other team to get back in the game as they were out scored by 16 in the final half even though they had chances in the last moments to tie things up with free throws, They pulled a Nick Anderson and unfortunately the shots just rimmed out and they went down by a bucket... Ending there solid season in this tough division but go down to one of the top teams that had an almost perfect second half to get back in the game and take the W...
