Sydney secured a 15-point victory over Brisbane through superior efficiency and balanced scoring. The Kings shot 53.7% from the field compared to Brisbane's 42.3%, with their two-point shooting contributing significantly to the difference. Brisbane's offensive struggles were evident throughout the game, with a scoring drought in the second quarter (18 points) and a low-scoring third quarter (17 points) preventing them from maintaining a competitive pace. Sydney's defense contributed to the win, forcing 11 turnovers while committing only nine, which limited Brisbane's opportunities in the paint and transition.
Sydney's backcourt duo of Kouat Noi and Kendric Davis were the primary offensive catalysts. Noi was efficient, scoring 24 points on 56% shooting from the field and 60% from three-point range, while also recording a double-double with 10 rebounds. Davis provided playmaking with 10 assists and scored 23 points on an efficient 71% shooting clip. Tyler Robertson added 17 points, continuing a recent stretch of solid scoring for the Sydney forward. Brisbane's Hunter Maldonado was the lone bright spot, scoring 20 points on 58% shooting, but he could not generate enough support to overcome Sydney's depth and consistency. The Kings' ability to maintain a lead in the first two quarters and withstand a late push from Brisbane in the fourth quarter sealed the victory.
