    The Filipino center uncorked 13 points, including a three-pointer, alongside eight rebounds, an assist, and a block.

    Sotto's presence in the game's onset allowed the home team to jump to an early 28-11 lead and cling on to the easy victory.

    Robert Franks led the six 36ers who scored in double figures with his 25 points, six boards, three dimes, and three steals.

    Antonius Cleveland added 20 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and three steals, Anthony Drmic chipped in 16 points on 3-of-6 clip from beyond the arc, and Sunday Dech got 10 points, four boards, and four assists.

    Nick Marshall also scored 10, including the layup in the final 1:09 that pushed the Adelaide lead up to 33 points, 108-75.

    It was a complete obliteration on the part of the 36ers which shot 53-percent from the field and made 12 threes out of its 27 attempts for a sizzling 44-percent clip from rainbow country.

    More importantly, Adelaide snapped a three-game skid to rise to a 7-8 win-loss record.
