Massive brainfart by Doolittle, just what we needed to have a chance to snatch it.

In situations like this it always takes two to tango. One side to get momentum the other side to panic and start messing up. All culminating in Doolittle's stupid tech foul.The beauty of sport really, although I'm sure Wildcats fans probably disagree.

36ers are top of the ladder now due to having one less loss than Melb, sets up Friday night's top of the table clash nicely.

“This is top of the list,” Cotton said, reflecting on the biggest wins throughout his career.

“Because, to be honest with you, I have no memory of the fourth quarter.

“Like it was such a blur. I'm going to go home, probably just watch the fourth quarter over again.

“This was crazy. Absolutely crazy. It's the wildest game I think I've ever been a part of in my life.”
“The cool thing about this game is we're talking about so many impactful plays that different players made. It's not like it was just one guy,” Cotton said.

“Coming down the stretch, it was damn near everybody that was on the floor. Whitey (Isaac White) comes in, hits a big three while we're trying to get the momentum going.

“Flynn (Cameron), obviously, the game-winning layup. Ice (Humphries) was just tremendous. He gets the big block. Z (Cheatham) with his playmaking, and it's just tremendous.

“But that's what it takes to win ball games. And it just felt good. That was the true definition of a team win.”

Reports that Adelaide are signing Cheetam to a long term deal. I’m very happy with that as he is fabulous.

I'm the world's worst basketball ref but it didn’t look like a offensive foul?
