Basketball On The Internet.

THE bells at last were ringing again in the city of churches as the Adelaide 36ers scored their best win of the NBL season, routing the defending champion and arch enemy Perth Wildcats to keep the league leaders from reaching 10 straight wins.

In what easily was the 36ers' best performance of the season, they came out confidently and had an air of self-belief rarely previously evident.

Josh Giddey was running the point with sublime intent, Daniel Johnson was a monster for his 28 points on 11-of-14 shooting, 4-of-6 threes and eight rebounds, Keanu Pinder had his best game as an NBL player with 12 points and four blocks, Sunday Dech again also amazing.

Dech was part of the tag-teams that took the magnificent Bryce Cotton out of the game as a factor while grabbing 10 rebounds himself.

Brandon "Give Him the Ball" Paul saw enough of the pill to deliver 20 points at 50 per cent, Sixers coach Conner Henry helped immensely by the fact he shortened his rotation to seven players and they emphatically delivered the W, winning 83-68.

Making the playoffs may be a remote dream now for Adelaide fans but our NBL Team of the Week this week can certainly make a run at it and, in the process, ruin the finals fortunes of a few other contenders.

No team took the less coveted Team of the Weak As P--- mantle this round, with teams splitting wins and losses or going down fighting, just as we always hope to see.
