The Adelaide 36ers show the endgame poise they had been missing all season long as they fend off a late Sydney Kings comeback to pick up their second straight win.
MANILA, Philippines – Kai Sotto and the Adelaide 36ers snapped the Sydney Kings’ 13-game winning streak in the National Basketball League following a gutsy 90-82 road upset on Sunday, April 17.
The Kings knotted the score at 72-72 off a Jaylen Adams layup before Hannahs conspired with Sunday Dech for a tide-turning 14-3 blast that gave the 36ers an 11-point lead with under 1:40 minutes remaining. But Adelaide held on as the Kings missed 3 three-point attempts and a pair of free throws in the final 30 seconds, with Hyrum Harris, Daniel Johnson, and Mitch McCarron sealing the deal by draining their foul shots.
