At the Tigers Den, Ian Ozolins troops jumped out of the blocks, to lead by as many at 19 points midway through the second quarter, before going into the main break with a 44-31 advantage.
But that lead was quickly evaporated by the undefeated Sharks, who outscored the hosts 25-12, to go into the final quarter level at 56-all.
Despite trading baskets in the opening minutes of the final term, the Sharks, behind guards Jackson Gogoll (23 points) and Jason Freshwater (18), kept their cool and continued to extend the margin, which saw them win by 10 points at the final siren - moving the visitors to 6-0 on the season.
The Tigers were best served by Bruce Ozolins (21) and William Ozolins (17) and now fall to 5-2 on the year - with a trip to Lithgow next up for the black and gold.
