Home at last: Martin's career-high 28 sinks Adelaide as Hawkheads get their “30”
Home at last: Martin's career-high 28 sinks Adelaide as Hawkheads get their “30”
Kelan Martin's 28 powers our first win of NBL27, as the Sandpit asks for a 30-point lead and gets one.
It took four games to get here, but the first win of NBL27 arrived exactly where it belonged: in front of our own people. We beat the Adelaide 36ers 114-92 at the WIN Entertainment Centre on Friday night, led for 37 minutes and 47 seconds, and pushed the lead as far as 32 against the side many have tipped for the championship.
Kelan Martin poured in a new NBL career high of 28 points, five days after setting his previous best in Sydney. Sam Froling posted 19 points and 13 rebounds. We handed out 33 assists, won the boards 49-35, and two development players got to soak in moments they will never forget.
