Thanks for joining me for this coverage of the iinet NBL. Blaze deserving winners tonight. I’ll be back for the next TV game which I believe is the Hawks V The Breakers on friday night.
Good night, and have a good one.

The Breakers have beaten the Wildcats 101-99 in overtime so that gives the Gold Coast a big chance at a top 2 position.

And its all over. Sydney had a big first half, but were no where to be seen in the 3rd quarter and thats what cost them.

Man of the match is a coin toss between Deleon for the Gold Coast and Madgen for Sydney. Probably has to go to Deleon, because he led his team to a win.

Hudson has a chance to take this game to a one possesion game. But he misses them both, the first shot he’s missed all night and you’d think thats game over.

Deleon is 2Hard2Guard, gets to the line again and hits them both. Bose gets the hard foul and the 3 point chance, but misses the free throw.

Stupid, Stupid foul from Steve Martin gets Deleon to the line. He hits both, and then Sydney dribble the ball out of bounds. Sydney thier own worst enemy at the moment. Cooper hits the long 3, keeping the Kings in the game.

If It wasn’t for Madgen the Kings would be down plenty more than they are. He hits another 3. He’s hit 30.

Deleon runs into Luke Cooper and somehow gets the call. Hometown call at its best.

Kings starting to get back into this with a couple of turn overs and a mini-run. You would think this was over, but a couple more shots could change that.

The officiating hasn’t helped them, although even if it was decent they’d still struggle. Gold Coast have been powerful.

Deleon passes the ball half the court, hits the numbers (to steal a term from american football) and Petrie hits the nice shot.

Grant Jams it down for about the 12th time tonight. Deleon gets fouled taking a shot in transition. He hits 1 of 2, and Sydney have committed 4 fouls to 0 to start the quarter.

Cadee drops one from the corner. Madgen taking on the Blaze single handly, hits a couple of nice shots at the start of this quarter.

Deleon finds a way to the line with 0:04 to go in the game. Such a great ball player.
And as I say that he misses 2/3 from the line.

Hoare goes coast to coast. Blaze doing it easy. Disappointing as this looked as though it was going to be a close one.

Blaze foul count is keeping Sydney in the game, there in the bonus. But the Kings can’t take complete advantage – they’re just 5/18 from the stripe.
