Adelaide 90 - 65 Brisbane

Adelaide secured a decisive 90-65 victory over Brisbane, winning by 25 points despite a slow start in the first quarter. The difference in efficiency was the primary driver of the result; Adelaide shot 48.4% from the field compared to Brisbane's 32.9%, while also converting 23 of 28 free throws (82.1%) to Brisbane's 6 of 9 (66.7%). Brisbane struggled to find rhythm, particularly in the third quarter where they scored just 12 points, and were hindered by a high turnover rate. Zylan Cheatham led Adelaide with 20 points on efficient 6-of-7 shooting, while Isaac Humphries added 16 points on 8-of-12 efficiency. For Brisbane, Dakota Mathias provided some offense with 14 points but shot just 5-of-15 from the field. The Breakers' rebounding was superior on the offensive end (15 to 5), but it was not enough to overcome their significant shooting deficit.
