Cyclone threat forces Taipans-Bullets postponement

The threat of a cyclone in Far North Queensland has forced the postponement of Cairns' NBL clash with rivals Brisbane.

Saturday's clash between the league's bottom two sides at the Cairns Convention Centre was postponed on Friday due to the forced closure of the venue.

Forecasters expect a slow-moving low to cross the coast between Cairns and Ayr - about a 400km span - on Saturday evening or early Sunday morning.

The NBL is yet to announce a new date for the clash.

Both sides have battled this year, with the Taipans (6-17) and Bullets (6-18) two wins behind the eighth-placed New Zealand (8-15).
