Sydney defeated Adelaide 106-101 in a game decided by turnover differential and fourth-quarter shooting. Adelaide shot efficiently from the field (49.3%) and connected on 50% of their three-point attempts (17-of-34), outshooting Sydney in both categories. However, Sydney's superior ball security allowed them to control the pace; Sydney committed only 6 turnovers compared to Adelaide's 13, reducing Adelaide's opportunity to score in transition. In the fourth quarter, the game tightened, with Adelaide closing to within five points late in the period. Sydney responded by scoring the final 12 points of the game, including a clutch three-pointer at the buzzer by Torrey Craig. Sydney's offensive rebounding was a significant factor, collecting 13 offensive rebounds to 7 for Adelaide, which resulted in extra possession opportunities.
