Last Saturday at HBF Arena, the Wolves achieved the rare feat of having scoring contributions from all 12 of their players on their way to a 36-point win.

The Wolves’ Jordan Wellsteed was among the most impressive off the bench, hitting nine points from 14 minutes.

It was the biggest victory of any side in the first week of finals.

Brian Sullivan (23 points) hit five of seven from the three-point line in an ominous sign for finals rivals.

Jalen Billups scored 21 points and took a game-high eight rebounds.

Trian Iliadis had five steals, while adding 16 points.

Should the Wolves win, they will meet Perth or Stirling in the semi-finals.

Perth is leading the series against the Senators 1-0 after a 114-109 win.
