It's Breakers v Arch Rival Jackjumpers in NBL Semifinal Playoffs at Spark on Sunday

The Tasmania JackJumpers have punched their ticket to face the Sky Sport Breakers in the Hungry Jack's NBL Playoffs, while the Cairns Taipans and Perth Wildcats will clash in the do-or-die Play-In Game.

The JackJumpers took down the Taipans 87-79 in tonight's Seeding Qualifier, while the Wildcats ended the South East Melbourne Phoenix's season with a 106-99 victory in the Play-In Qualifier.

The results mean the Taipans and Wildcats will meet to determine who plays the Sydney Kings in Series 2 of the Playoffs, while the Jackjumpers travel to Auckland today to prepare for Series 1 of the Playoffs.

The Cairns v Perth do-or-die Play-In Game will take place on Sunday at the Cairns Convention Centre at 4pm, while Game 1 between the Breakers and JackJumpers will be 6pm at Spark Arena. 

Both games can be watched on Sky Sport.

The Playoffs are a best-of-three series, while the Championship Series is best-of-five.

An epic performance from Bryce Cotton led the Wildcats past the Phoenix, as the three-time MVP delivered a fourth quarter for the ages.

Cotton scored 20 of his 26 points in the final term, as Perth outscored South East Melbourne 41-23 in the last quarter to stun the John Cain Arena crowd.

Later in the night, Tasmania overcame the absence of floor general Josh Magette to defeat Cairns 87-79.

All-NBL First Team member Milton Doyle starred with 25 points and hit several clutch shots for the JackJumpers, while their trademark defence shut down the Taipans.
