Adelaide 36ers NBL27 season progress
Overview
The Adelaide 36ers began the NBL27 season with consecutive victories. In their season opener, the team secured a 97-95 win against Melbourne United at John Cain Arena, led by Bryce Cotton’s 29 points despite facing injuries to Flynn Cameron, Isaac Humphries, and John Jenkins III.
In Round 2, the 36ers defeated the Cairns Taipans 83-69 at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Adelaide established early dominance with a 32-point first quarter. Despite continued roster challenges and the absence of players such as Isaac Humphries, Flynn Cameron, and Bul Kuol, the team maintained their winning momentum.
In Round 4, the 36ers defeated the Sydney Kings 84-78 at Afterpay Arena, ending the Kings' unbeaten start to the season. The match was marked by a physical altercation in the final seconds between Adelaide’s Bryce Cotton and Sydney’s Kendric Davis, resulting in unsportsmanlike fouls for both players. Following the confrontation, Cotton gestured with six fingers to signify his six MVP titles, while Davis pointed to the NBL championship logo on his singlet. Cotton recorded 17 points and eight assists, while John Jenkins led Adelaide with 20 points. This victory moved the 36ers to a 3-4 record.
