Dylan Windler scored 32 points including 18 in the final quarter as Perth Wildcats defeated New Zealand Breakers 100-84 at RAC Arena. Windler's dominant performance overshadowed the NBL debut of Brandon Knight, the NBA veteran recruited by Perth to act as a connector and all-around facilitator.

Knight played 19 minutes and finished with six points, two rebounds, one assist, a block and two steals. Elijah Pepper was substantial for Perth with 25 points, while captain Jesse Wagstaff added 13 points, four rebounds and six assists. Windler hit seven three-pointers in his remarkable display.

New Zealand's Sam Mennenga threatened to win the game single-handedly, scoring 40 points with 18 rebounds. New Zealand star Parker Jackson-Cartwright was ruled out on game day due to a lower leg injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least three games.
