The Adelaide 36ers continued their winning form with a 97-85 victory over the Illawarra Hawks at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on November 19, 2025. Adelaide used a strong second-half surge to pull away from a determined Hawks team and secure a 12-point win. The game was closely contested through two quarters, but the 36ers' depth and offensive execution created separation after halftime. Illawarra struggled to find consistent scoring outside of their main threats, allowing Adelaide to control the tempo and the glass. This result marked another important step for Adelaide in consolidating a playoff position in the NBL standings.
