Match Info

The Cairns Taipans made it two wins from two to start the NBL season, defeating the Sydney Kings 77-74 on the road on September 28, 2025. In a defensive battle, the Taipans executed down the stretch to hand the Kings a narrow loss at home. Sydney led for much of the first three quarters, but Cairns stayed within striking distance through tough defense. The fourth quarter saw multiple lead changes, with the Taipans taking the lead for good on a corner three-pointer with just over two minutes remaining. The Kings had several chances to tie or take the lead in the final minute but came up empty on critical possessions.
