Melbourne Vixens vs Queensland Firebirds
Whilst Thunderbirds kept their top four chances alive, Melbourne Vixens locked their top four spot for the season in with a 64 – 62 win against Queensland Firebirds, meaning they are guaranteed a Finals spot.
It wasn’t an easy contest for Vixens though, as the lead see-sawed constantly, with the teams taking it in turns to win a quarter throughout.
