THE 36ers have made it 3-0 so far on their tour of China, tonight beating Brian Goorjian's Dongguan Leopards 65-59 in front of a 5000-strong crowd in Shenzhen.

The Sixers' "Twin Towers" Luke Schenscher and Daniel Johnson again controlled the paint with 15 and 14 points respectively.

Adelaide beat Serbia's OKK Belgrade last night 96-56 with Johnson and Stephen Weigh scoring 19 apiece, Jason Cadee and Adam Gibson with 11 each.

Tonight's win gave Adelaide this leg of the tour, with two more matches to come on Tuesday and Wednesday in Zhongshan.

Warhorse guard Nathan Crosswell, returning from an Achilles injury, was rested from tonight's win over the Leopards, but is likely to be back for the game with Foshan Long Lions.

CONGRATULATIONS are in order for whoever it was at the NBL or WNBL who finally picked up sometime on Sunday that the telephone number their respective websites displayed for information on the joint preseason series in a couple of weeks at Dandenong was incorrect.

I can happily confirm the number has been changed to 03-97947192 from the incorrect number the sites were displaying for at least two days.

Good work team.

SYDNEY rested James Harvey but still beat a depleted Cairns 80-60 in their second exhibition game in Tamworth last night.

Already down Alex Loughton, import Shane Edwards and veteran Aaron Grabau, the Taipans further rested playmaker Jamar Wilson, giving extra time to guards Kerry Williams and Shaun Bruce.

Daniel Joyce was a new face in the Kings' line-up, Sydney's scoring again led by import Corin Henry with 16. Tommy Garlepp also had 16 and Ben Madgen 15 while Cairns was paced by Dusty Rychart's 14 points. Bruce had 12.
