Adelaide defeated Brisbane 87-80 in a game defined by efficient shooting and a dominant third quarter. The 36-23 margin in the third quarter proved decisive, as Brisbane never recovered despite a strong fourth quarter performance. Adelaide's offense was balanced, shooting 52.5% from the field and 60.2% effective field goal percentage, while Brisbane struggled with 46.9% shooting. The key difference was in scoring efficiency, with Adelaide outscoring Brisbane 87-80 despite committing more turnovers (14 to Brisbane's 15). The home team also capitalized on opportunities at the free-throw line, hitting 94% of their attempts compared to 76% by the visitors. Bryce Cotton led the way for Adelaide with 39 points on 14-of-23 shooting, including 6-of-9 from deep, providing a steady offensive presence. Brisbane was paced by Casey Prather (20 points) and Tyrell Harrison (17 points, 12 rebounds), but the team's shooting from deep (26.9%) and inability to consistently generate offense in the fourth quarter allowed Adelaide to pull away late.
