Saturday Night NBL Action and we head to Tasmania for Game 2 of the Semi-Final series between the Tasmania JackJumpers and Melbourne United.
Melbourne United managed to win Game 1 on Thursday Night 74-63, and their defence was some of the best we have seen this season.
The JackJumpers were always going to be up against it in this matchup against United, but they won’t go down without a fight and are still a chance to extend the series.
Another big night of NBL Action to look forward to.
