Loughton connects on both free throws. Taipans are within one point now. Almost half time here at the Cairns Convention Centre.

Jerome Randle is really struggling, he’s just 3-9 from the floor. If the 36ers are going to hang on in the second half he will have to get it together.
Cairns 38, Adelaide 41.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
This has very much been a game of runs and momentum, as the 36ers are struggling to box out and secure the defensive rebound. They have totalled just 11 points this quarter. They lead by two.
Cairns 38, Adelaide 40.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
The Taipans have been very good this quarter. Walker finishes through contact and converts the lay up, but Cairns are well and truly in this one.
Cairns 36, Adelaide 40.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Timeout on the floor. Taipans will be shooting free throws when we come back.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
That is a disgraceful no call by the officials, a huge moving screen on Jerome Randle, who gets absolutely crushed on the play. Definitely an offensive foul. Gliddon in the meantime converts the AND-1 opportunity.
Cairns 35, Adelaide 36.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Nice dish by Starks to Burston, who hangs for the reverse layup. The lead has evaporated!
Cairns 32, Adelaide 36.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
There is some confusion about the score here. On the telecast the scores are displayed as: Cairns 30, Adelaide 34. On the NBL website the score is Cairns 30, Adelaide 35. I will roll with the telecast score for now and keep you posted. Timeout on the floor.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Weight knocks down both free throws. The momentum has changed as the Taipans have gotten multiple stops. And a turnover by the 36ers! Taipans ball here.
Cairns 28, Adelaide 35.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Joey Wright is dismayed by the officials, who call Ere for another foul. It will send Weigh to the free throw line.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Loughton bricks another jumper, but great hustle by Worthington who is fouled after collecting the offensive rebound.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Fantastic alley oop by Worthington to Gliddon, who hangs and finishes. Awesome play! The lead is just 7.
Cairns 26, Adelaide 33.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Gibson misses the open jumper, Worthington collects the rebound. Randle fouls Gliddon contesting for the ball. Cairns ball.

Beautiful shot by Worthington, who calmly hits the three from the top of the arc. They managed to keep Adelaide scoreless on their last couple of possessions, and have reduced the the margin to single digits.
Cairns 24, Adelaide 33.

Petrie misses the fadeaway jumper but Walker cleans up on the glass and flips in the nifty runner.
Cairns 21, Adelaide 32.

A highly entertaining first term has come to an end. The Taipans are on fire from three point territory, but unfortunately for them, the 36ers have been in divine form when shooting the basketball. Cairns simply haven’t been able to get stops, and it is killing their chances of winning this game. You won’t see Cairns have a much better quarter of basketball (shooting wise) and yet they find themselves down by 10 points! They have some work to do. Johnson leads all players with nine points. The 36ers are shooting over 60% from downtown!
Cairns 19, Adelaide 29.

Creek gathers the offensive rebound off the miss and gets the AND-1 opportunity! He nails the free throw. Suddenly Cairns are down by 10! Their defence has been porous to start the game.
Cairns 19, Adelaide 29.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Both teams have been crisp on offence. Only 5 turnovers between the two sides so far. An insane sequence of play! Gibson displays tremendous hustle and finds Ere, who hits the big three. On the next sequence, Adam Gibson connects on the three, his second of the game!
Cairns 19, Adelaide 26.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Shaun Bruce displays exceptional confidence and slashes to the rim, connecting on the tough hanging layup. Cairns draw to within two.
Cairns 19, Adelaide 21.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Torrey Craig connects on the three from the right corner. Cairns have started well but are unable to get any stops down the other end.
Cairns 17, Adelaide 21.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
A steal and then a very kind role for Ere down the other end. Tragardh has the perfect reply to Ere’s jumper and calmly hits a long jumpshot with his foot on the line! Anthony Petrie at the line currently. He goes two of two at the line.
Cairns 14, Adelaide 19.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Matt Burston is left unguarded at the top of the free throw line and calmly sinks the mid range jumper. It’s tight early.
Cairns 12, Adelaide 15.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Randle hits a huge triple from at least 28 feet out. Scores are still level here.
Cairns 10, Adelaide 10.
Cairns Taipans vs Adelaide 36ers: NBL live scores, blog
Starks is on the board! He connects on his first shot of the night and Cairns have the lead!
