The six-time MVP rose to the occasion on Friday night to help his Adelaide 36ers level the Hungry Jack’s NBL26 Championship Series 1-1 against Sydney. The three-time champion scored a game-high 28 points, as well as adding 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. But his most important contribution came in the final seconds, when he went the length of the court and converted a left-handed layup, as time expired, to give the Sixers the two-point win. Game 3 of the Championship Series tips off at 2.30pm AEDT at Qudos Bank Arena, live on ESPN and 10.
