It's a 'Cat day for Perth in Hobart
CLEARLY still on a high from their dramatic comeback win over Sydney, the JackJumpers started like a house on fire to take a 19-5 Ignite Cup lead over Perth but that blazing beginning steadily was put out by Wildcats firefighters Jo Lual-Acuil, Elijah Pepper and David Okwera in a rousing performance in Hobart.

WHAT is it about the WNBL and women's basketball in general that my podcast colleague Brad Rosen loves so much that in this week's episode, he is waxing lyrical about it in comparison to what he is seeing from the men? There's plenty to listen for in this round's Brad&Boti podcast.

Javale prevails as Hawks escape Perth
JAVALE McGee tonight secured a pulsating 85-84 victory for Illawarra in Perth which went down to the wire and concluded with him blocking a corner shot from Jesse Wagstaff, one of the Wildcats' unsung heroes in a game which looked destined for overtime with 1.2 seconds left.
Hunters dethrone Kings as Breakers blow it
NATHAN Sobey led brilliantly from the front with 33 points, 5 assists and 5 boards as South East humbled Sydney on top of a sizzling come-from-beyond - and that's from waaay behind - win by Brisbane over New Zealand in Auckland where Lamar Patterson scored the winning bucket in an 84-83 great escape.
Torpedoed! Admiral fires up when war over
CAIRNS' Admiral Schofield last night reduced himself to a petty officer with his unwarranted post-game antics after Perth sank his team by 32 points, claiming all seven Ignite Cup points in a third embarrassing 30-plus defeat for the Taipans who are missing more than Jack McVeigh and Sam Waardenburg.
