The Brisbane Bullets defeated Adelaide 36ers 96-89 on Sunday, crashing the 36ers' 40-year anniversary celebration. Adelaide wore red retro jerseys on their home court to mark the landmark 1986 championship, but Brisbane controlled the contest from the start. The Bullets' success meant all eight games in this round have been won by the visiting team.
Tyrell Harrison led Brisbane with 24 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out, while American Nate Hinton contributed 18 points. Brisbane caught fire from three-point range early, storming to a 30-17 lead after the first quarter, whilst Adelaide managed just five of their first 22 shots. Raul Neto orchestrated Brisbane's attack with strong playmaking, giving the Bullets a 50-43 halftime lead which extended to 76-66 by the third quarter.
Bryce Cotton scored 27 for Adelaide despite shooting 9-of-25, with Nick Rakocevic adding 19 and Zylan Cheatham 17. The 36ers mounted a late surge with a 10-1 run to cut the deficit to six points inside the final two minutes, but could not complete the comeback. Adelaide's poor shooting from three-point range, hitting just 6 of 32 attempts, forced them to play catch-up throughout.
