When you’re hot, you’re hot - and it seems the Perth Wildcats can hit shots from anywhere right now.

Greg Hire proved the team is on fire amid a seven-game winning streak by draining a monster ‘hail mary’ shot at training this week.

Standing on the neighbouring court to the rim he’s aiming at, Hire hurls the ball through one of the roof beams at Bendat Basketball Centre before swishing the shot.

It’s a good sign the vice-captain has shrugged off the series of head knocks he’s been copping - both from opponents and teammates at training.


The Wildcats face arguably their biggest test of the season in a road clash with highly-rated Sydney on Thursday.
