Two straight is all the Slingers could manage as the 36ers put an end to the Singapore’s winning ways. Being a team that struggled to find their rhythm earlier in the season Adelaide have recently found form and managed to lead from the onset causing Singapore to mount a late comeback which would prove to difficult to overcome.
Posting 25 for a game high, Brett Maher lead the visitors to the victory. Having a quiet night on the court both Marquin and Mike managed to sneak in 20 points each but it still wasn’t enough to come away with the ‘w’.
Looking at the stats for the game you could almost mistake it for a different outcome as the Slingers out shot out rebounded and the hosts. The telling factor was the urgency to take care of the ball. With a total of 8 turnovers for the game the Adelaide 36ers would narrowly escape with the upset as the visiting Slingers’ total was 15 for the match.
Next stop is West Sydney as the Indoor Stadium will play host to an improving squad of Razorbacks. Again this will be a tough match as West Sydney, sitting dead last on the ladder will have nothing to lose and will come out firing on all cylinders.
