Talking points

Home cooking

Will Weaver's side are 2-0 in Brisbane this season, scoring 88 or more points in both those wins, while only managing 78 in the lone defeat away from home.

The key to that is their offence, with the Bullets converting on 47.9 per cent of their shots on their home court, while only hitting 37.3 per cent away from Brisbane.

The spark of that damaging offence is the League's assist leader, Arnas Velička, who is passing out 10 dimes per contest.
