Crosstown rivals Porirua and Hutt Valley finished Day One of the 2010 Conference Basketball League tournament as the only unbeaten teams with two wins apiece.
On their home court, Porirua edged out the Junior Tall Blacks 87-82 in their opening game, led Jordan Mills‘ 24 points.
The Taranaki Mountainairs shooter then returned to bag 31 in a 102-84 victory over Actrix Waikato Titans Fraser in the evening.
Meanwhile, Hutt Valley were far too classy for both Nelson 96-68 and Southland 96-72.
Porirua and Hutt are drawn to meet in their final outings of round robin play on Wednesday morning.
