Cairns have snapped a seven-game losing streak with an upset six-point win over Tasmania, with big-money signing Jack McVeigh inflicting pain on his former club.

Andrew Andrews was top of the charts with 27 points for the Taipans in the 75-69 result on Saturday night in Launceston, followed by teammate McVeigh with 23.

It was McVeigh's first game in Tasmania after playing a crucial role in the JackJumpers' maiden NBL championship success two seasons ago.

He nailed several crucial shots when the game was on the line in the final quarter, and also finished with six rebounds and two assists.
