Three overtime games, 36 points from Kendric Davis and a heated Throwdown. NBL27 Round 9 had plenty to unpack.

Jack Heverin and Derek Rucker break down how Davis led the Sydney Kings past the New Zealand Breakers in double overtime, then revisit the late clash between Cole Anthony and Nathan Sobey. Did Anthony deserve the flagrant foul?

Plus, can the Cairns Taipans stay in the top four after stunning Sydney? Are the injury-hit Tasmania JackJumpers genuine title contenders? And could Kristian Doolittle make a run at the MVP after his clutch three against Illawarra?
