Lightning get up in a close one!

Sydney Uni average 84 points a game but were held to just 64 points as the Lightning reversed the previous result against the Flames with a critical 65-64 win.

Phillips 25, King 12, Gahan 10.

Flames had a chance in the dying seconds but missed and Gahan dragged down a clutch board and held it FTW.

Lightning have beaten one of the top teams for the second week in a row, and did it without Rasmussen. Not bad at all.

I dare say Lucas, MikeD and Vince are going to be pretty chuffed with this result. Lightning will be equal top with Canberra now (Caps beat the Fire) and a game clear of Sydney.

Two of their next three would likely be pencilled in too (hopefully that doesn't jinx them).

Couldn't get to this weeks game but - Erin Phillips!!! What a legend. The stats say it all 40 mins, 25 points at 66%, 5 threes at 60%, 5 boards, 6 assists.

Those are some GOOD numbers!

Go Lightning - the best show in town.

Have to give huge praise to Jess Foley as well who spent considerable minutes guarding Veal and well the boxscore shows how Veal's game was.

Sydney were missing Trish Fallon and I think they felt it....that probably equalled us not having Rasmussen though. Great game, Phillips is a freak and still so young. Anyone know why Dee Ranford isn't hitting the court???

She was going to be subbed in just before half time, but then they didn't get the stoppage to let her in, and I think the sub patterns Adelaide were running just didn't get Dee the chance.
