Match Preview
- After registering one of the biggest wins of the season against the Adelaide 36ers last week, Melbourne United are back at John Cain Arena for a huge Throwdown clash as part of The Multicultural Game.
- This is a chance for basketball fans from across the state to come together and celebrate the diversity of our city through basketball.
- Matched up against the Phoenix, United will be looking to extend their Throwdown winning streak to seven straight games.
- For South East Melbourne, they head into the contest searching for a form reversal, having lost their opening five games of the season and changed their head coach.
- After falling flat against Cairns, Melbourne United looked like an entirely different team in Round 4, dominating the 36ers on both ends to come away with the 27-point win.
- The lockdown defensive effort was especially impressive, as Dean Vickerman’s squad registered their fifth game holding opponents to under 85 points this season.
- This defensive effort often allows United to control the glass, which is an area the Phoenix have struggled with across their slow start to the season.
- SEM have been out-rebounded in every game; an area which most notably last week led to their downfall.
