Tasmania defeated Cairns 81-68, winning by 13 points despite shooting a lower percentage from the field. The game was decided by a first-half surge for Tasmania and superior rebounding, particularly on the offensive glass. Cairns led after the first quarter but could not sustain the pace, with Tasmania outscoring them by 25 points over the final three quarters. Tasmania's ability to control the offensive rebounds and limit turnovers was the primary statistical factor in the victory. Cairns had the edge in three-point shooting percentage, making 35.71% compared to Tasmania's 25.93%, but their overall field goal efficiency was lower at 41.38% versus 38.16% for Tasmania, aided by a significantly higher offensive rebounding rate (44.68% vs 14.29%).
