Giants pushing on strongly to start this third Q, and so far, Firebirds haven’t been able to go with them. Giants lead 43-37
Bueta wins the ball in midcourt and Firebirds convert to take the lead. This is a gripping contest. Firebirds 49-48 with 2 minutes left 3rd Q.
3/4 time: Firebirds 53-52
Wallam 31/33
Bueta 20/21Harten 25/30
Dwyer 22/24Donnell Wallam with a super shot right on 3/4 time to put Firebirds in front again. So many changes of possession in this game, it’s very unpredictable. Hard to know who will come out on top.
Such an engrossing game. 62-62 halfway through the last Q.
Firebirds up by 1 with 4 minutes left as Firebirds call a timeout. It will be important to see what the tactics are regarding super shots from here.
Wallam with a super shot! And another one! But now Harten!
GIANTS WIN IT!!!
These aren’t even my teams but this game got the heart rate up! Giants win that game through 6 Super Shots to 4- it feels unfinished when a result is determined by super shots.
Two breaks called on Bueta that were not the right call. Umpire had full view of it but no concept of the timing. Tara Warner is on a downward slide this season.
so Super Shots changed the result for this game.
Just an incredible finish to that game. Whatever people may think about the super shot, the last minute of that game is probably what the powers that be were hoping for when they introduced it 2 years ago.
Giants win 73-72. Incidentally, they scored 6 super shots to 4.
So 135 goals scored (without super shots) thats a very high score. Defence having a quiet game?
Both teams had patches where they scored very quickly. This is the reason Fever has so many goals scored against them, the fast scoring means you are giving possession straight back to the opposing team.
Full time: Giants 73-72
Wallam 41/43 (95%)
