Gunners Outrebound Sabres for Vital 89-83 Win

The Canberra Gunners edged past the Inner West Sabres 89-83 on Saturday at Belconnen Basketball Stadium, securing a hard-fought win in front of the home crowd. Canberra dominated the glass with a commanding 44-32 rebounding advantage, including 15 offensive boards that led to crucial second-chance opportunities. Glenn Morison led the way with 23 points on an efficient 67 percent shooting, while William Mayfield filled the stat sheet with 18 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. The Gunners controlled the paint, outscoring Inner West 44-38 inside. Maxwell Clark kept the Sabres in the hunt with 22 points including six triples on 55 percent shooting from outside. Ramon Cao added 19 points but struggled with efficiency, shooting just 39 percent from the field and committing five turnovers against only two assists. Despite connecting on 11 shots from beyond the arc, Inner West couldn't overcome their rebounding disadvantage, particularly on the offensive glass where they were outmuscled 15-6. **CANBERRA GUNNERS 89 (Glenn Morison 23, William Mayfield 18, James Toohey 14).** **INNER WEST SABRES 83 (Maxwell Clark 22, Ramon Cao 19, Andrew Swanson 12).** #NBL1 #Hoops
