A second-quarter onslaught has launched the Cairns Taipans out of early trouble and to a 94-85 NBL victory over South East Melbourne Phoenix at the Cairns Convention Centre.
Chasing their fourth successive win without star forward Keanu Pinder (ankle injury), the Taipans fell in a huge hole on Sunday afternoon, trailing 35-24 at quarter-time and by 13 points early in the second term.
