As the season went along, Ball grew noticeably more and more comfortable in the league. Also interestingly, Ball and the Hawks routinely played some of their best games against Cairns.
In his second meeting of the year against the Taipans, Ball set a season-high in scoring with 24 points on a season-high five three-pointers on 11 attempts, by far his best effort from deep on the year. He added eight assists and six rebounds as well in the win.
This also kicked off the string of his best stretch of games on the season.
