South East Melbourne Phoenix Form


It was another controlled performance by South East Melbourne when they pushed aside the New Zealand Breakers 102-89 on Saturday night at the State Basketball Centre. 

The high-powered offence of the Phoenix was on show from the get-go, out scoring  the Breakers 30-17 in the first quarter and never really looked back. 

With Derrick Walton Jr. out, Nathan Sobey continued to step up with 28 points, nine assists, four rebound, two steals and even a block. Joe Wieskamp and Owen Foxwell were also strong off the bench, combining for 29 of S.E.M’s 34 bench points.

The strength of the Phoenix five can match any in the league and with Wieskamp finding form, along with Foxwell’s continuous energy and effort off the bench, makes the Phoenix a tough team to match up with.

Sydney Kings Form


The Kings bailed themselves out in the fourth quarter once again, out scoring the JackJumpers 32-22 in the final term to take an 11-point victory over the injury-riddled Tasmanians. 

Kouat Noi led the Kings with 32 points off the bench, dropping four threes in the match and also recording four rebounds. 

It was an off night for most of the Kings though, shooting just 35.8% from the field sinking just 24 shots from 67 attempts. However with eight steals and 24 points from turnovers, Sydney were still able to get the better of the JackJumpers.

Sydney’s defence has been the cornerstone for them all season and was once again against Tassie after an off shooting night. 

The Kings rank second in the NBL, allowing their opponents just 86.4 points per game (2nd in the NBL). The Kings are now the most difficult team to shoot against with a 42.1% opposition field goal percentage. 

Verdict

South East Melbourne will continue their hot run, taking down another championship favourite in the Sydney Kings with their offence overpowering the Kings, going over their team total and covering the 1.5-point line as the favourites.
