Perth defeated Cairns by 32 points in a one-sided affair. The Wildcats shot significantly better from the field and from three-point range, maintaining a lead throughout the contest. While Cairns struggled to generate offense, only managing 78 points, Perth's efficiency was the primary driver of the victory. The Taipans' offense sputtered in the second half, posting only 36 points across the final two quarters, while the Wildcats were able to sustain their scoring, especially from the interior where Jo Lual-Acuil Jr shot 62.5 percent from the field. A key difference was turnover rate, as Perth committed just five turnovers compared to Cairns' 11, allowing the Wildcats to maintain possession and capitalize on their superior shooting percentages.
