36ers Lose to Hawks in Defensive Match

Illawarra staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Adelaide 100-99, knocking them off the top of the NBL ladder. Wani Swaka Lo Buluk’s crucial tip-in secured the win after the Hawks rallied from a 16-point deficit in the final quarter, led by Tyler Harvey’s six three-pointers and Will Hickey’s all-around performance. Despite strong contributions from Adelaide’s Bryce Cotton and Nick Rakocevic, defensive lapses and turnovers cost them the game. The loss adds pressure to 36ers coach Mike Wells amid recent struggles.
