The high-flying Sydney Kings have continued their dominance over cross-city rivals the West Sydney Razorbacks, cruising to a 106-74 victory at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Saturday night.
The win made it six straight for the Kings, who have also won six of their past seven clashes with West Sydney.
The hosts dominated from the start, extending their lead at each break in a sensational team performance.
Sydney had six players in double figures, with Rolan Roberts leading the way with 19 points and David Barlow contributing 16 to go with 10 rebounds.
Adam Darragh led the scoring for the Razorbacks with 16 points, and Scott McGregor scored 11 and pulled down 14 boards in his 300th NBL game.
It was the fourth consecutive loss for the struggling West Sydney, while their rivals move to the top of the table after the 32-point thrashing.
The Kings took control of the game from the first term, going on a 10-2 run on the way to a 28-18 quarter-time lead.
Sydney put on 10 straight points to open up a 20-point at the start of the second quarter.
Luke Kendall, CJ Bruton and Roberts all reached double figures for the half as the hosts took a 59-42 advantage at the main break.
The Razorbacks couldn't find their way back into the game, struggling at the offensive end and being held to just 13 points in the third period. The home side meanwhile shared the points to go ahead 81-55 with a quarter to play.
With the result beyond doubt, Sydney coach Brian Goorjian gave his bench players some game time in the fourth quarter but the gap continued to widen, as the Kings wrapped up their biggest win of the season.
Sydney (9-2) will try to make it seven on the trot on Wednesday when they host the Perth Wildcats, while the Razorbacks (3-8) are hoping to bounce back at home against the New Zealand Breakers on Friday.
:lol: Just thought this forum could do with a sh*t stirring thread.
