Down by 11 goals in the final quarter, the Titans put together a remarkable finish to snatch a 56-52 win over a shell-shocked Jets at Nissan Arena on Sunday.
Roxanne Rhind and Josie Bingham sparked the final quarter comeback with some efficient scoring while goalkeeper Shenae Grant delivered at the defensive end.
Elsa Sif Sandholt was the top scorer in the match, notching 39 goals for the Jets in their first match under new Head Coach Megan Lynch.
Elsewhere, Lynch's former club the Brisbane South Wildcats made a great start to their season with a 66-57 win over the Sunshine Coast Thunder.
Georgia Lindsay was a standout for the Wildcats with a whopping 10 Super Shots on her way to 43 points while Kydan Tuapou was also deadly from range with five two-pointers of her own.
A Thunder team including SSN training partners Rylee Burns, Natalie Sligar and Baylee Boyd couldn't keep pace with the hot hands of the Wildcats shooters, who led the contest at every change.
Moreton Bay City Pulse were given a hard welcome to the HPNL Sapphire division, with veteran Head Coach Liz White steering the Kedron Wavell Cougars to a 64-43 win over the competition newcomers.
The opening round's other clash featured a high-scoring Bond University Bull Sharks nearly reaching a century in a 94-63 win over the Carina Leagues Club Tigers.
Former Queensland Firebird Mia Stower hit an incredible 14 Super Shots in the big win with Firebirds training partner Kirra Tappenden hitting eight two-pointers of her own as the Bull Sharks piled on 27 points in the fourth quarter alone.
