A new-look starting five, and new look bench made the most of a hot start, blazing away in the second term and outscoring the Kings by 10 points, eventually proving the seminal quarter.

The Kings wouldn't lay down, playing a manic last quarter to force the Phoenix to hold on, eventually seeing South East Melbourne take the points and third spot on the table ahead of a mouth-watering Throwdown clash on Thursday.
Three-point machine Vague
He may not have touched the court last round, but Rhys Vague made an impact from beyond the arc on Sunday afternoon. From downtown, Vague had 12 points, going 4-6 from deep and proving pivotal for Mike Kelly.
