SEM Phoenix v Cairns Taipans
Friday 19:30 AEST tip-off - SBS On Demand
1. Sizzling Sykes
SEM’s import point guard Keifer Sykes put 21 points on the board on Wednesday night against New Zealand, reminding everybody of what he was doing earlier in the season.
Simon Mitchell: “The head of the snake has been missing for a little while. For us to make a run, for us to finish with some momentum and for us to make a splash if we make the playoffs, we need Keifer playing at a really high level.”
