Kai Sotto makes his presence felt to help the Adelaide 36ers end a five-game skid and remain in playoff contention.
MANILA, Philippines – Kai Sotto and the Adelaide 36ers finally snapped their five-game losing streak and kept their playoff hopes alive with a thrilling 99-96 upset of the Cairns Taipans in the National Basketball League in Australia on Monday, January 30.
Antonius Cleveland was on a mission for the 36ers in the do-or-die affair, scoring a game-high 27 points to go with 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals, while Robert Franks also came up big with an all-around performance of 20 markers, 9 boards, and 5 dimes. Cairns’ Shannon Scott had a chance to trim the deficit back to a point in the next play, but he failed to convert on his layup attempt with 24 seconds left.
Adelaide overcame the huge scoring outbursts from D.J. Hogg and Sam Waardenburg, who fired 26 points apiece for the second-seeded Cairns.
