Bryce Cotton delivered another defining moment in his NBL career, draining a clutch step-back three-pointer with one second remaining to lift the Adelaide 36ers to a dramatic 110–112 overtime win over the NZ Breakers at Spark Arena.
Adelaide appeared in control late in regulation time before Parker Jackson-Cartwright sparked a Breakers comeback, forcing extra time after Cotton missed a potential game-winner.
The Breakers edged ahead in overtime and led by four with seconds remaining, but a Flynn Cameron three and a costly five-second inbound violation handed Adelaide one final chance, which Cotton emphatically seized.
The five-time MVP finished with 33 points, supported by John Jenkins’ 24, as Adelaide snapped a two-game skid, while the Breakers—despite balanced scoring led by Izaiah Brockington and Sam Mennenga—were left rueing missed opportunities in a gripping contest.
