Creek pledged to donate $100 for every three-pointer and $200 for every dunk his Phoenix side made against the Breakers. The Phoenix made 10 three-pointers in the 92-97 loss.

The former Horsham Hornet also auctioned off a pair of custom game-worn shoes for $4000.

In total $5500 was raised and split between the Country Fire Authority and the Salvation Army Disaster Appeal fund, with Creek chipping in a little extra.

The Phoenix captain implored others to dig into their pockets.

"We've got it easy, we're playing basketball. Other people don't have homes, don't have food, have lost lives and animals and pets and everything they've ever had," Creek said before the game.

"I'm just trying to help out as much as possible. What we're going through is absolutely devastating.

"If everyone can pull through and do the same thing, try and donate and jump on board. Match it, or (donate) 10 per cent, 10 bucks or 10 cents. I don't care what it is, get in your pockets and give back, because we're all hurting right now."

Fellow Horsham basketball export Shaun Bruce also played for the cause in the Sydney Kings' 91-77 win against the Adelaide 36ers on Saturday.

Bruce donated $50 for every point he scored, raising $2850 alongside his Kings teammates.
