Casey Frandsen scored 12 of his game-high 23 points in the second half Sunday, leading Portland to a 79-74 exhibition win over the Brisbane Capitals. Coky Rochin added 21 points and 16 rebounds for the Pilots.

David Bartholomeaus topped the Capitals with 18 points, and former Oregon Duck Terik Brown had 14 of his 16 points in the second half.

The Pilots led 31-28 at halftime despite shooting just 26.5% from the field, but saw the Capitals come back to take a 38-37 lead with 16:24 left to play before Frandsen hit three free throws. A Ross Jorgusen layup followed by an Adam Quick jumper pushed Portland’s lead to 44-38, and the Capitals couldn’t respond.
