A grudge match for the ages. The Illawarra Hawks beat the Westars in the first round of the 1986 season by one point. After many protests by the Westars due to a 3 pointer being noted as a 2 early in the game, the NBL issued the game to be replayed later in the season.

Highlights include Hawks legends Gordie McLoed & the Killer B's. Ray Borner, Don Bickett and Jim Bateman.
