Elijah Pepper was cool in the clutch as the Perth Wildcats moved up to second position on the NBL ladder with a 92-88 victory over South East Melbourne Phoenix.
Pepper top-scored with 25 points at Perth's RAC Arena on Friday night, while Kristian Doolittle and Anthony Dell'Orso added 22 each.
With the Wildcats up by two points in the dying stages, and the Phoenix forced to play the foul game, Pepper had ice in his veins, swishing four-straight free throws inside the last 7.6 seconds.

NBL27 Round 3 Pink Game Preview | Wildcats vs Phoenix
The Round 3 clash comes just two weeks after both sides opened their NBL27 campaigns against each other at RAC Arena, where South East Melbourne claimed an 86-76 victory.
Perth has bounced back with consecutive wins over the Adelaide 36ers and New Zealand Breakers, while SEM Phoenix return to Perth following back-to-back losses to the Tasmania JackJumpers and Melbourne United.
The Wildcats will now have another opportunity against a Phoenix team that caused problems with its pressure and ability to turn mistakes into quick points in the season opener.
That first encounter was closely contested for much of the night. Kristian Doolittle led Perth with 19 points, Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. added 16 and Dylan Windler finished with 14, before South East Melbourne broke the game open late.
