The Skycity Breakers have turned around their brief slump after a triumphant victory over the Brisbane Bullets.
The 96-89 win over would have been a sweet relief for the Australian National Basketball League front-runners, after what had been a lacklustre week.
Following nine straight victories, the Breakers had slumped to two consecutive defeats, scoring just 73 and 76 points in the process.
Player Finn Delaney joined D'Arcy and Goran to talk about what they did differently to save the game.

Gui's gone: Brazilian playmaker Gui Finkler has parted ways with the Wellington Phoenix Football Club.
Two weeks after he was substituted and then left Westpac Stadium before the end of his side's A-League loss to the Mariners, Finkler has left the football club altogether.
Jason Pine joined D'Arcy and Goran to talk about the matter and analyzed what they meant by "mutual consent", saying it doesn't come as a massive surprise.
He also talks about one time when Frinkler left the stadium before the end of the match, which the boys suspect would have annoyed his team mates.
The Brazilian, who played 28 games for the club, scoring seven goals, never held down a spot in coach Darije Kalezic's starting XI and struggled to produce his best under the new coach.
Phoenix General Manager David Dome expressed his disappointment that it hadn't worked out for the talented Brazilian but also his gratitude.
"Gui is the type of player every club loves to have, both on and off the field," said Dome. "As our marquee signing, we had very high expectations with Gui.
"We've been blessed with a wealth of quality attacking midfielders in recent seasons but the club has to focus on balance across the whole playing roster.
"We've had some big conversations internally at the club in recent weeks and as disappointed as we are to see Gui go, it provides an opportunity to strengthen in areas we're less well-resourced."
For Finkler it's a bittersweet moment, but the Brazilian is looking forward to the next chapter of a distinguished sixteen-year professional career.
"I've really enjoyed my time in Wellington," said Finkler, "when I arrived I felt really welcomed by the playing group, they're a great bunch of boys with good culture – it's not always easy to find this at clubs.
