Red-hot Townsville Fire have blasted their way to outright WNBL title favouritism after entering the finals riding a 12-game winning streak, capped by a last-round demolition job on the Southern Flyers.
A top-of-the-table blockbuster at the State Basketball Centre on Saturday night was expected to be a tight affair but proved a lopsided blowout as the Fire flattened the Flyers 83-61.
Townsville were deadly accurate - shooting 63 per cent to Southside's 32 per cent - ultra-efficient and got the job done by committee, with no player taking more than nine shots.
