Behind the efforts of swingman Dwayne McClain, who finished with 13 points and 11 boards, the undersized Brisbane edged Perth. "It's our third win for the year and we have beaten the Melbourne Tigers and Sydney, but given the circumstances on the flight to get here and the fact that it's not easy to beat Perth in Perth, I think it would be fair to say it was our best," Brisbane coach Dave Ingham said.
Perth: Lichti 20, Grace 18, Van Dyke 16, Crawford 12, Stewart 12, Brown 2, Vlahov 2.
