Perth Wildcats vs Brisbane Bullets
Wednesday 9:30pm AEDT (Oct 15), RAC Arena
The Wildcats are beginning to hit their stride after a slow start, improving to 3-1 with three straight victories. Their latest win came in a gritty 80-77 result over the Taipans in Cairns, where Dylan Windler was superb while others struggled to find their range. Despite an off night offensively, Perth’s defensive composure and late-game poise once again proved decisive, continuing their reputation as one of the league’s toughest road teams.
The Bullets, on the other hand, have slumped to 1-4 after dropping four in a row, including a heavy 27-point defeat to the Hawks last round. Their offensive rhythm has vanished, with poor shooting and turnovers costing them repeatedly. Perth has dominated the recent matchups, winning the last two encounters by 20 or more points. With both sides far from fluent on the offensive end, the most logical play for this clash looks to be under 182.5 total points.
