the post, Maxey scored on Schenscher - who checked back in with five minutes to play – then doubled the dose on the next play and drew the foul to put the Blaze in front for the first time since it led 9-7.
Maxey hit the match winner with 40 seconds to play and the crowd went wild after witnessing one of the greatest comebacks the NBL has seen.
Both sides have the full week to rest before what shapes as a scintillating rematch next Saturday in Perth.
Gold Coast Blaze 84 (Harvey 19, Gibson 14, Maxey 14)
Perth Wildcats 79 (Redhage 24, Williamson 11, Schenscher 10)
