Silly Salmons had a 10-point lead at the half and going into the second half it looked like all the momentum was with them...

Top performers in this game were, Corey R ( 12 ) leading the way & Peter Faulks ( 12 ) . Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Caelan Bennet ( 10 ) , & Dave Fitz ( 5 ) . Berrara Boys Coming out of nowhere and playing the game of their lives as they started well and played hard on defence getting rebounds and stopping shots inside the key with Corey and Peter leading the way this game scoring 24 between them.. They banded together on defence and were able to limit almost everyone on Heat Check two single digit scoring except for Speedy, Who had a few looks from downtown go through the rim but even with the rest of the boys pitching in it wasn't enough to break the scoring drought in the last couple of minutes which led to Berrara Boys holding on to their small lead and hitting some free throws to close the game out in clutch fashion after a pretty disappointing regular season they come up big and beat the first rank! A great effort by Heat Check This season able to stay ahead of the pack and stay in the first two ranks most of the season finishing in first but just unlucky in the first round of the playoffs and Go home early...

6th ranked Kings TUE had better offense than the defense of their opponent, 3rd place Parrots and knew it would be a test on their troops. Top scorers in this game were, Noah B ( 10 ) getting the team high in points & Angus M ( 8 ) . The opponents top scorers were; Doug D ( 12 ) leading his squad , & Nic Dunstan ( 10 ) . Kings TUE were hungry for this one. Game started with both slides unable to get momentum or advantage with the intensity peaking early and the defence stopping a lot of the looks that both teams got but the kings actually were up at the half by three points behind some strong drives and shots from Noah and Chris who had their eye in and made sure they were efficient this night.. Nick and Doug were the standouts this game for parrots and combined for 22 points as they drove inside and looked to get their mid-range shot up which was effective but in the last few minutes of the game they were outplayed and unfortunately weren't able to make a comeback in time before the buzzel went ending their season early after a great effort for their first time in division 3... The king succeed and go on to the next round of the playoffs hoping to keep up their strong play and get a chip this season...

Despite the struggles on offence, containing the big man who leads the league in scoring Senio, Who was on fire again and looking for his shot getting to the line and nailing what the defence gave him to score just under 30 and with some help from the big man inside Scott he was a win and a ticket to the next round of the playoffs...
