Friday, March 5, 2021 The Illawarra Hawks have roared home in the fourth quarter to defeat Adelaide 36ers 98-89 in the NBL Cup. Both teams entered last night's clash at Melbourne's State Basketball Centre in dire need of a win having lost five of their past seven outings. But with the scores level after three quarters, it was the Hawks who broke through for a morale-boosting victory by outscoring the Sixers 26-17 in the final period. Tyler Harvey paced Illawarra with 24 points while Deng Adel and Cam Bairstow combined for 19 points in the fourth quarter to see the Hawks improve their season record to 7-5.
