Bulleen pulled off a convincing 73-63 road win over Townsville in far north Queensland in their Friday night WNBL clash.
Liz Cambage top-scored for the visitors with 22 points and a massive 19 rebounds, while Alice Kunek (17) and Rachel Jarry (12, nine rebounds) also contributed.
The Fire trailed by as many as 16 in the final period but they came home strong and cut the deficit down to six before running out of steam.
Jess Foley was Townsville's best with 14 and six boards, with back-up from Nadeen Payne (10) and Shanavia Dowdell (eight points, 13 rebounds).
Meanwhile Dandenong clinched a nine-point win over Sydney University, going out 91-82 winners on the Flames' home court.
Jenna O'Hea (19), Krista Phillips (16) and Kathleen MacLeod (16 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists) all helped the Rangers turn around a 12-point half-time deficit to seal a comeback victory.
Sydney Uni was led by Belinda Snell's 21-point haul and five assists, but the home side was boosted by Lauren King's 18 points and a 13-6-6 night for Amy Denson.
And in the nation's capital, Canberra denied Logan a chance to move back into the top half of the ladder with a 65-57 victory at the AIS Arena.
The low-scoring affair saw the Capitals lead by a mammoth 23 points at half-time but the visiting Thunder came home with a wet sail.
Brigitte Ardossi's 12 points and nine rebounds were handy for the hosts even though she fouled out after just 21 minutes on the floor.
Logan's main contributors were Renae Camino and Sarah Graham, who had 10 points apiece, but it was not enough to bag their side its 11th win of the campaign.
