    KAI Sotto's dunk ignited the Adelaide 36ers' late pullaway for a 100-92 victory over the South East Melbourne Phoenix in the 2021-22 NBL season on Sunday at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

    Sotto finished with four points, five rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a block as Adelaide won for the second time in its last three games.

    Daniel Johnson paced the 36ers with 22 points, 10 boards, and three assists, Sunday Dech had 21 points, five boards, and three dimes, and Hyrum Harris and Mitch McCarron both ended up with 11.
