NBL Grand Final: Breakers bullish about upsetting Kings in royal rumble - 'Best-of-five's a different animal'
News from on and off court around the NBL.
The question’s been asked, is Julius Hodge the best player in the NBL at the moment? Since returning to the league he’s been in scintillating form, already taking out a player of the week award.
Saturday night saw the exciting import take the court for the 36ers against the Tigers at the Cage.
In a brilliant first quarter he scored 14 points, helping the Sixers to an eventual 109-91 victory.
His athleticism and sheer ability inspired his team throughout the game.
Every time he took the court the crowd seemed to sense something was about to happen, whether from his own hand or one of his team mates.
He finished the game with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, joined by Luke Schensher on 21, 15 and 2.
Veteran Brett Maher had a good night out with 19 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists as did Adam Ballinger with 18 points and 7 rebounds.
In a lack luster performance Melbourne’s top scorers were Grizzard with 25 points and Ere with 20 however prime movers Anstey and Barlow could only manage 12 and 6 respectively.
There’s no doubt the Tigers have been struggling to string wins together but with Hodge in such devastating form you’d have to say the 36ers are looking good going into the last half of the season against any opponent.
