Tasmania JackJumpers Form
Tasmania improved to 2-1 with an 84-82 home win over Melbourne United on Wednesday, but it was far from comfortable.
The JackJumpers built a 19-point advantage before Melbourne fought all the way back to level the game late, with United's 5-of-20 shooting from three helping Tasmania survive.
Will Magnay produced 17 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, while David Johnson added 16 points.
Tasmania's defence has been solid, allowing 88.7 points per game, but their 16 turnovers against Melbourne and inconsistent offensive production remain concerns heading onto the road.
