7:12 am on 25 November 2012

The Perth Wildcats have climbed up to third on the Australian basketball league ladder following their 68-63 road win over the hapless Townsville Crocodiles.

Gary Ervin top-scored with 17 points for the Crocodiles but their winless 10-game start to the season continues, while the Wildcats backed up their big home win over the champion New Zealand Breakers on Thursday night.

Matt Knight nabbed 16 points in the paint while Kevin Lisch and 15 Jesse Wagstaff 15 each at Townsville Entertainment Centre.
