In a great game, both sides shot at over 50% for the night, Dandenong impressive at 56%, paced largely by a nine from twelve return from Mark Roberts and seven of ten from Brent Hobba.

The big numbers for the night came from Crosswell and Strong. The Sabres point guard rattled in 38 points, on fantastic 14 of 21 shooting. He backed it up with eight assists in a full 48 minute showing.

Strong might not have been the game breaker for the Rangers, but he was impressive nonetheless with 36 points and 15 rebounds.

Brent Hobba also delivered, hitting 25 including four of five from downtown and Ash Cannan's value to the Rangers was underlined with Cannan making 16 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
