Melbourne United will play host again to the Perth Wildcats for the fourth game of the NBL Grand Final Series at Melbourne Arena, Melbourne. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog from 2:20pm AEDT.
The Wildcats are currently 2-1 up in the series after a third game win at home 96-67.
If there is one thing that was noticeable from Game 3 of this series, is that Terrico White went absolutely ballistic.
He scored almost a third of the Wildcats points, 31 of them with a two-point average of 50 per cent and a three-point average of 70 per cent. He also got seven rebounds.
So keeping Terrico quiet could make a massive difference to the final score of this match.
Another interesting stat from game 3 is that Melbourne’s three-point percentage was at only 14 while Perth’s was at 48.
I don’t expect many changes to either side for the match.
Prediction
This series has been all home team so far and sadly it will probably stay that way. The crowds are giving the home team such a push in this series.
Melbourne by 10

Match Report The Perth Wildcats have won their 9th NBL championship after defeating the reigning champions Melbourne United in the 4th game of the series 97-84. The game started off very even with Melbourne leading by 2 and looking like this match would mirror the previous ones. The 2nd quarter had a very different story with the Wildcats silencing the crowd and putting themselves up by 8 at going into the main break. Melbourne started the 3rd term with a bang after scoring the first 5 points of it by the Wildcats fought back late in the quarter. With the help of some magic from Terrico White, the Wildcats lead by 11 going into the 4th. Melbourne looked all but deflated into the 4th quarter and ended up losing by 13 points. Bryce Cotton, Terrico White and Casper Ware were the top scorers Final Score Melbourne United… 84 Perth Wildcats……… 97
