The Bond University Bull Sharks are still leading the way after Rounds 11 and 12 were played across the weekend but their lead has been cut after suffering a 77-71 loss to the Sunshine Coast Thunder on Saturday.
Bond's six-game winning run may have been halted by the Thunder but a convincing 83-54 win over the Brisbane South Wildcats on Sunday at Carrara ensured Bec Stower's team remain on top of the ladder.
The Kedron Wavell Cougars are second with nine wins from their 12 matches after overcoming defending premiers the TAE Aerospace Jets and Moreton Bay City Pulse in their two matches while the Gold Coast Titans ended a patchy run of form with wins over the Pulse and Carina Leagues Club Tigers.
The Cougars dented the Jets' finals hopes with a 70-59 win on Saturday before keeping the last-placed Pulse winless with a 70-53 victory at Nissan Arena on Sunday.
After a three-game run without a win, the Titans were too strong for the Pulse on Saturday in a 59-38 victory before making it back-to-back wins this weekend with a 68-49 defeat of the Tigers.
The Jets' premiership defence is in danger after following Saturday's loss to the Cougars with a 75-54 defeat to the Thunder with the Sunshine Coast outfit now six points clear in fourth and holding the whip hand in the race for the last finals position.
Katie Walker's Tigers scored a thrilling one-point win over the Wildcats on Saturday to cut the margin between the two clubs on the ladder to four points.
