Adelaide 36ers Aim to Extend Winning Streak Against Brisbane Bullets

ADELAIDE, Australia — The Adelaide 36ers are set to host the Brisbane Bullets in a crucial National Basketball League (NBL) clash on Friday night at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Riding a three-game winning streak, the 36ers are focused on maintaining their momentum as they push for a playoff spot.

“We got Brisbane coming in, we will focus on them before we move onto the next one,” said Adelaide swingman Sunday Dech. The 36ers have won six of their last eight games, with their defensive performance significantly improving over the past month. Their defensive rating has surged from last in the league to first during this period.

Dech emphasized the team’s collective effort, stating, “As a group now, our collective defense is really, really good, and we get offense off the back of that. Confidence is high, it’s been high for a while now. We are finding form at the back end of the season, which is where you want to be.”

The 36ers will rely on key players like Kendric Davis, who has scored 20+ points in eight consecutive games, and Montrezl Harrell, who ranks in the top 10 for both points and rebounds this season. Meanwhile, the Bullets, coming off a heavy defeat to Melbourne United, will look to bounce back with strong performances from Josh Adams and Casey Prather.

Friday’s matchup marks the 101st meeting between the two teams, with Adelaide holding a slight edge in the overall head-to-head record (51-49). The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. ACDT and will be broadcast live on ESPN via Foxtel, with streaming available on Kayo Sports.
