NBL21 TotW Rd17: Fourth time at the Top
TweetSTRINGING together an impressive run of wins and coming back from a 16-point deficit to dethrone the Kings on the road in Sydney, Adelaide is riding high yet again as our NBL Team of the Week.
It's back-to-back wins for the club - which previously notched three nominations in our Team of the Weak As P--- category - to show the 36ers truly are emerging in the chase to the post.
The manner in which the Sixers stalled Sydney's run, forced the contest into overtime, then exploded on a 13-0 tear - Daniel Johnson on a personal high - made for glorious viewing, unless you are a Kings' fan.
Yes, the Kings seriously are down on personnel and playing largely on heart but this was equally important to their finals aspirations and made it the round's most significant result.
While congratulating Adelaide for once more being our prized Team, our Team of the Weak As P--- also goes once again to South East Melbourne Phoenix, not so much for the fact they lost to Melbourne United but for the manner in which they went under.
