Wildcats clinch minor premiership

first six points of the third quarter, but picked up his fourth foul and didn't see any more time until the final period.

Redhage continued to have the hot hand with Perth's first nine points as the lead went to 23. Brad Williamson hit a pair of threes and Cameron Tovey and Stephen Hoare helped bring that back to 16 by three quarter-time.

The Crocs weren't able to bridge the Wildcats' advantage to anything below 16 during the final quarter and when Damian Martin hit a three with five and-a-half minutes to go there was little chance of a Townsville fight back and it never eventuated as Perth won by 19.

Perth Wildcats 92 (Redhage 32, Lisch 19, Cattalini 10)
Townsville Crocodiles 73 (Williamson 14, Dowdell 14, Crawford 12)
