We beat Northgate 101–94, and Harbour Arena was full for the first time since the play-offs two seasons ago.

Northgate came in unbeaten. They leave with one loss, and we have our first hundred-point game of the season.

It was loud from the warm-up. Section C had made a banner the length of the stand, which took two people to hold and four to keep the right way up, and when Okoro dunked on the first possession the game took off at a speed neither side could quite control.

The third quarter won it. Lindqvist had six assists in it, Varga blocked two shots in a minute, and a two-point game became a nine-point game. Northgate came back to four with three minutes left, as good teams do, and then Halloway hit a three from the corner right in front of their bench and turned round to watch it go in.

Eight and two. Northgate are still top, but they know where Harbour Arena is now.
