Crunch Time: The key moments from Round 10

This weekend's games saw seven exciting games take place all across the country.

Highlighting this round was the Saturday night thriller between Canberra and Geelong and a number of big milestones.

Join us as we recap all the top moments from Round 10 during our weekly column.

WNBL's Mental Health Round

The WNBL partnered with Beyond Blue to host the competition's Mental Health Round.

The initiative invited the entire basketball community, players, fans, families and supporters, to reflect on the five people (Starting 5) they can lean on when life gets tough, and who they might need to show up for in return.

The round has been shaped directly by player voices, after a recent survey revealed 70 per cent of WNBL athletes identified mental health as the issue they wanted to lean in on the most for an additional themed round this season.

Fans can still donate to their Beyond Blue Starting 5 here.

Can anyone stop Perth?

Since the arrival of Han Xu, the Perth Lynx have rattled off an impressive five wins, including Tuesday's 26-point victory over the UC Capitals.

During that stretch, Perth ranks first in points per game (98.8), field goal percentage (50.7), three-point percentage (38.1) and rebounds (44).

Mix in the fact that all members of Ryan Petrik's starting five, Han Xu (19.5), Amy Atwell (17.9), Alex Ciabattoni (16.4), Anneli Maley (13.1) and Ally Wilson (11.1), are all averaging in double-figures in scoring and this team looms as a legit championship contender.
