Here is this weeks international player watch:
Tactix vs Mystics
A top of the table clash saw Tactix deal Mystics their first defeat of the season, 61 -50, as the first and second place teams switched place in the league.
It was a strong final quarter that ensured Tactix came out in the top spot, as they extended their four-goal lead to an 11-goal victory in the final 15 minutes.
Tactix excelled in all areas of the court, but one international star that stood out in particular was New Zealand Silver Fern Ellie Bird, who shot at 100% scoring all 50 of her shots from under the post in a clinical performance.
