Following the Perth Wildcats' victory over the South East Melbourne Phoenix at HoopsFest, both teams now look forward to huge challenges from two NBL heavyweights, the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United.
In the opening round of the NBL season on Friday in Perth, the Wildcats thrilled the packed RAC Arena with 19 three-point shots – 12 of which came from Bryce Cotton and Keanu Pinder – to achieve their 106-98 victory.
