Rattlesnakes Went about their business whipping the ball around to their shooters and they found some unlikely sniper shots coming from Dan B to usually operates on the inside and did a bit of damage that way as well and with his usual partnering crime Seth P They combined for just over 30 points and with some marksman jumpers from Dr Lach and Darcy, They were able to get the lead by 6 in the first half but they were answered back on their buckets the whole way for the first 20...
Connor and Mitchell were taking turns attacking and do well for the most part to combine for 25 points and get to the line to try and slow the bleeding as the game went on.. Conor kept on attacking the middle and Mitchell was cleaning up getting put backs and putting on the moves in the post... In the second half though it was all Rattlesnakes As the shooters had heated up in the cold climate and were able to go on scoring runs that just weren't answered in time as the final buzzer sounded giving Solespace this game in an early exit to the playoffs one game short of the Grand finals, to which the Rattlesnakes Go back to and try to stop the Scorgasms I'm getting another championship to add to that Thursday night legacy...

2nd place Scoregasms Traded buckets most game, but kept a nice buffer all game to close it out vs 5th ranked Buckled Knees in a loud and hectic game keeping refs active and players tense.

Who had Scotty find some luck from range and Lachlan W also was able to clean up some shots inside and now he's usual mid-range jumper..Joel also hustled hard getting inside and dominating on offensive rebounds and putbacks but even with some sharp shooting from Luke H, They weren't able to recover from a slow start and their 6 point deficit increased to 14 and they took the loss and early exit to the playoffs just short one game of the grand finals to which the Scorgasms return to to defend their title and try for another cheap which would be a 5-peat!

4th ranked Air Jellem knew what to expect when they faced 1st place Red Rockets and put up alot of unanswered buckets to mount up the lead and the win. Top performers in this game were, Cody P ( 21 ) leading the way & Jarryd T ( 14 ) . Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Sam M, Mark H & Adam B ( 5ea ) , & Jarrod B ( 4 ) . Air Jellem Continue their strong play from last week and took on the shooters from Red Rockets , They were looking for some open shots which were rare but they kept putting on the pressure in the first half only down by four after 20 minutes...
Sam, Adam and Mark had a few shots going in but were playing catch up the whole game and the shot selection was less than ideal and even with a few buckets from Jarrod, They went down not able to put the ball in for the second half as Air Jellem went on a 21 to 8 run to conclude the game and close it out getting an invite to the Grand finals next week! Red Rockets exit the playoffs early but had a great season taking on the big teams and unfortunately this time they were just unable to compete with the firepower from their opponent but hold their heads high knowing they left it on the court...

But the difference was only 4 points in the first half and it was anyone's game but the, Sea-men had a little more momentum and was able to consolidate their efforts to go on a little scoring run that wasn't answered increasing their four-point lead by three in the half and closing out the game despite a good comeback by Daddy Day Care towards the end of the second that fizzled out as the buzzer rang... Sending them home after a great season to land at the top of the division 2 after the split but going down to a more experienced team by a small margin...Seamen Go on to the Grand finals and try their luck getting a chip this time around!

Puma Ballers Having a solid game this matchup and came out on the first half with some hustle and it translated to points as they got Shaun The ball in his spots and he was a master in hitting the outside ball and stepped into his jump shot well to get the equal game high but it was the help from Adam and Martin and the rest of the boys that got them over the line as they led by 8 points at the half.
Nitros had the task of catching up and they tried to get things going from outside with Jayke and Jericho combining for four 3-pointers which fuelled a little comeback but they won't able to find much like from the rest of their boys and the defence was all over them resulting in the loss and the early exit from the playoffs for the Nitros... They had a great season toughing it out with the big teams and keeping their core but they were a little undermanned But you're the best to keep up with this tough veteran team....Puma Ballers Go on to the grand finals in a dream run and first stint, let's see if they can complete the miracle and defeat the Pritchards in the Grand finals next week!
