The Perth Wildcats have ended the Hungry Jack's NBL home and away season with a huge win over the Cairns Taipans at Perth Arena.
Perth tuned up for the finals with an emphatic 28 point over the Taipans, 89-61, to finish the season in third place and set up a semi final series against arch rivals Adelaide.
Perth went on a scoring rampage as they knocked down a season high 15 three-pointers. Bryce Cotton brought the energy from the start, ending the game with 24 points and grabbing six assists.
It was a disappointing end to the season for the Taipans with Cameron Gliddon among their best with 12 points.
