    KAI Sotto's career night for the Adelaide 36ers ended in a 93-85 loss to the Brisbane Bullets on Monday in the 2021-22 NBL season at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

    The Filipino center dropped 21 points on an efficient 7-of-8 shooting from the field to go with three rebounds. His free throws in the final 27.3 seconds got the home team within two, 87-85, after falling behind by 13 points.

    Mitch McCarron fired 17 points, six assists, four rebounds, and three steals for the 36ers, who suffered their fourth straight loss and crashed out of playoff contention with their 7-17 win-loss record.

    Daniel Johnson also got 12 points, 10 boards, and five assists for Adelaide, which missed the services of Dusty Hannahs and Cam Bairstow.
