South East Melbourne's talented duo of Sam Mackinnon (19 points, 13 boards) and Chris Anstey (15 points on 7-for-10 shooting) helped the Magic edge Adelaide and emerge from the Doomsday Double road trip with a 2-0 result. The Sixers had a chance to send the game into OT but Brett Maher's jumper was astray and Leon Trimmingham's putback came after the buzzer. "It came down to Sam Mackinnon's individual brilliance," South East Melbourne coach Goorjian said of the result.
Adelaide: Brown 22, Rillie 18, Trimmingham 15, Maher 12, Cattalini 11, McKinnon 2, Davis 2, Wheeler 1.
South East Melbourne: Mackinnon 19, Anstey 15, Tolbert 12, Kelly 12, Dorge 12, Parkinson 6, Ronaldson 5, Drmic 4.
