Illawarra defeated Southeast Melbourne 113-109 in overtime, overcoming a slow start to win by four points. The Hawks relied on efficient shooting and a dominant interior presence, with JaVale McGee recording a double-double of 29 points and 13 rebounds. Quentin Peterson led the scoring with 42 points on 16-of-25 shooting. Southeast Melbourne, despite a strong first half, struggled with ball security and made just 11 of 13 free throws in the fourth quarter and overtime, which proved costly. The game was tied at 89-89 with under a minute left in regulation before a late technical foul on Illawarra's coach allowed Southeast Melbourne to take a lead that was answered by a Peterson layup. In overtime, Illawarra used a 7-0 run to pull away.
