Behind Mark Bradtke, playing his first game since returning from an NBA stint with Philadelphia, Melbourne edged past Adelaide. The Sixers, whose losing streak stretched to three games, lost Leon Trimmingham to an ankle injury after he logged just eight minutes of court time. Bradtke, meanwhile, finished with 31 points on 13-for-19 shooting and hauled in 18 rebounds, but completed the game without an international clearance. The end result of that issue could be that the Tigers are stripped of the win and points that go with it.
Melbourne: Bradtke 31, Gaze 27, Copeland 24, Lang 6, Gordon 6.
Adelaide:Rillie 18, Maher 17, Wheeler 17, Davis 16, Cattalini 10, McKinnon 6, Trimmingham 2, Brown 2, Sapwell 1.
