Tigers Sink 16 Triples in Crushing 100-69 Win

Melbourne dominates Sandringham 100-69 on Sunday at Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre, showcasing a ruthless offensive performance from start to finish. The Tigers caught fire from the perimeter, hitting 16 triples at an impressive 55 percent clip compared to Sandringham's meagre three made threes. Thomas Wilson led the charge with a brilliant all-around game, pouring in 30 points on 77 percent shooting while adding eight boards and six dimes. Jack Purchase was equally deadly from outside, draining seven triples on his way to 25 points, while also collecting seven rebounds and three blocks. Despite the lopsided result, Sandringham's Tom Koppens recorded a double-double with 15 points and 12 boards, including four on the offensive glass. The Sabres struggled mightily from the field, shooting just 36 percent compared to Melbourne's efficient 55 percent. Sandringham did manage to get to the charity stripe 34 times but converted only 65 percent of those opportunities. **MELBOURNE 100 (Thomas Wilson 30, Jack Purchase 25, Kai Garnaut 10).** **SANDRINGHAM 69 (Tom Koppens 15, Sammy Cartwright 13, Malith Machar 12).** #NBL1 #Hoops
