    ADELAIDE 36ers hurt its playoff hopes with back-to-back games, losing to the Tasmania JackJumpers, 98-82, on Thursday in the 2022-23 NBL season at MyState Bank Arena.

    Kai Sotto was held to just six points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes as a starter - cooling down after a season-best 16-point night in a loss to the New Zealand Breakers - as the visitors lost grip of the game in the payoff period.

    Adelaide simply had no answer for the duo of Milton Doyle and Jack McVeigh, who scored 28 points each in the contest.

    Doyle shot 3-of-6 from deep and produced six boards and four assists, as McVeigh came off the bench and drained six treys to go with his six rebounds.

    Overall, Tasmania shot 13-of-32 from distance.

      Sotto's dunk with eight minutes to play got the 36ers within eight, 74-66, but the JackJumpers responded with a 15-6 blast capped McVeigh's trey at the 4:12 mark that made it an 89-72 affair.

      Robert Franks was the lone bright spot for Adelaide as he drained five treys for his 24 points, three rebounds, and two assists.
