Spirit steal tight win over 36ers

Posted November 21, 2008 22:44:00

Sydney Spirit came from 12 points down at half-time to snatch a nail-biting 110-108 win over Adelaide in Friday night's NBL match in Sydney.

Guard Derrick Low was the catalyst for the come-from-behind win with 24 points for the Spirit.

Matthew Knight (19 points, 11 rebounds) and centre Julian Khazzouh (12 points, 16 rebounds) were both brilliant in supporting Low.

Adam Ballinger shot a game-high 29 points for the 36ers, as well as pulling down 13 boards with five assists.
