Sydney 108 - 84 Illawarra

Sydney secured a convincing victory over Illawarra by 24 points, winning the game through superior shooting efficiency and offensive balance. The Breakers shot 53.4% from the field and connected on 45.2% of their three-point attempts, while the Hawks struggled to 40.3% and 32.1% respectively. A significant factor in the game was Illawarra's inability to protect the ball, committing 12 turnovers to Sydney's 6, which the Breakers converted into easy points. Sydney's high offensive turnover rate of just 6.8% allowed them to maintain control of the game's tempo throughout all four quarters.
