I don't care if they lose this one. I just hope they don't get hurt. The Hawks are rough b......s.

Adelaide back within 9. Holmes has scored 6 in a short period, plus a couple of FT from Forman and a three from Farley. 60-69.

Come on!

back to 2 74-72, as you said good start by willie and holmes. got to get on those boards to even it up i think.

Wow, Sixers back to 70-74! Were down by 10. Forman hits a three, then gets a defensive board on the next play and Farley nails a three of his own.

72-74 after Rychart gets an O-board and the put back.

Hill's statline is empty, but their software appears to be confused (calling him "<-2005047->") so that info might be incorrect. The player points total 63, but the team total is 72. He could have 9?

Farley out, Gower in.

Whoa, Rychart nails a three after another Forman rebound. Assist to Hill.

Cooper and Rychart have 3 fouls, as does Saville. Farley and Rychart on 20 points each -- dependable, aren't they?

Scores are level after Hill makes a 3 and Farley makes a 3.

Farley up to 25. Sixers got a string of rebounds. Forman hits another 2 FT to have 11 and 8.

Saville hits the bench with 4 fouls.

Holmes another rebound (now has 6). Sixers have been better on the boards this quarter.

Three quarter time, up 85-81.

Sixers won the quarter 36-19!

up by 4 85-81 at 3/4 time go sixers. yeah i noticed that as well i think its hill but at the start it displays hills name so who knows! maybe he is just not getting the court time, dont think so but maybe?

Who is 2005047 showing in the play by play but score not shown on scoreboard?

Uh oh, Hawks back up 93-95. 5:28 to play. Farley 25, Rychart 24, Holmes 12, Forman 11.

Rychart subbed out, Hawks score 6 straight. Holmes out, Hawks add another 4. Damn.

Hawks also have 6 fouls. Lets hope it helps us.

96-95 sixers. hold on, hold on!

EC, I think that's Hill. See how on the scoreboard Hill has no stats but you'd expect that he'd at least have something?

I think we'll find that's him confusing the system given that he was added late. I haven't yet seen Hill enter or exit, but 2005047 was first subbed in with Gower which would suggest it was Hill.

Rice and Saville have 4 fouls. Campbell has 5 and has been benched. No Sixers in foul trouble.

Gower hits the bench with 2 points and 2 boards. Sixers running the final 3 minutes with their starting 5.

Campbell now back in. Foul him out!

Appears the refs tonight are not so tolerant of the Hawks dirty style of play. Hooray!

3 point lead 50sec left. Ah cross your fingers

correction 2 points

Nail-biter coming up. You know what these live scores are like.

99-97. 1:35 to play. Cooper fouls and Ballinger hits both FT. Saville picks up his 5th foul. Forman makes both FT (6/6 for the night?) to have 13 points.

Down the other end, Mee scores.

50 seconds left. 101-99. Don't give it up now.

Holmes fouls. NBL site says it's 101-101...

OVERTIME.

Hawks are in foul trouble. Go Sixers!

overtime! crap.

Sav and Campbell should be driven at to get them out of the game plus get to the line....hope the boys pull it off for Bern.

hey the fouls have reset!

NBL site says the scores are 0-0. Goodbye scoring averages... :P

josh -- look at the Hawks fouls, we can take them down.

Live scoreboard has reset itself now. Forman and Cooper pick up fouls early. Cooper on 5.

Live scores now saying that Holmes scored twice in the same second. I think we're up by 2.

Holmes is Mr Overtime. Up to 20 points after scoring 6. Sixers up 107-105.

Three Hawks have 5 fouls. How long can they hold on!? Double OT?

oh yeah :-) got carried away with the situation. going to be tough still i think, as long as mee is there to control it they still look good. Hopefully the boys can ride the emotions of the week and find a way through this.

What's up with the scoreboard? This is critical time.

Ballinger hits a 3. 111-110 our way. Willie hits a 3. 114-110. Saville hits a 3. 114-113.

21 seconds left.

Finish them off!

think we are down bt 3 with 21 sec left

36ers win 118-112.

Saville fouls out. 114-112. Maybe that last Saville 3 didn't count?

14 seconds.

Farley 31, Rychart 29. Forman picks up a rebound to have the double-double.

Sav scores 8 points in 2 secs then fouls out??!?!?!?

up 2 with 14 left

ahhh stupid scores

were did you get that Stephon?

Stephon, where did you get that from? Sportal? SMS?

Sportal says 114-112 with 14 seconds left. TheScore has an error. NBL is showing 0-0.

think we won by 6!!!!!!!!

Farley finished with 33. My sister called from the game in Wollongong.

Live scores are slightly delayed.

Great games by Dusty, Holmes and Forman also.

Great big W by the boys great strength down the stretch!!!

J Ho big in OT great effort from all by the stats!!!!

A huge win in the context of the season and without Maher.

I hope this is the game that turns things around for Holmes. Having such a clutch overtime would have had to have done wonders for his confidence.

118-112.

Rychard 2/2 FT and then Farley 2/2 FT in the final seconds. Great work.

Farley 33 and 7 assists. Rychart 31 and 8 rebounds. Holmes huge finish for 20 and 8. Forman 13 and 10. Cooper 9 and 9. Boxscore should tell us how Hill went.

I certainly didn't tip us to win that one!

YES, good on you guys for so many reason. Showing heart and doing it for a great man. Hope he enjoyed that, true sixers spirit!

Bernie was watching over his boys tonight. Thank you Bernie.

all the way for bernie in 2005

no stoppin' us now

36ers outscored Hawks 36-19 in the third, on the back of 13 Farley points.

My OzHoops colleague said Breheny had a grin that would have stretched from Perth to Melbourne.

side note sad to hear about the girls. Also on the radio they just said that the game was delayed by 45 minutes after some guy went through a red light and crashed into the car that laura and another girl was in! they are all ok just shook up, but what an effort considering.

Apparently in the final seconds of the Hawks game, Wollongong made an inbounds pass to Saville who hit the three. It was waved away as apparently Joyce had called a timeout. Should the shot have been allowed, the score would've been 114-113 and Adelaide would have been forced to win the game from the free throw line and stop the Hawks from hitting a three.

Sounds like justice done to me.

i will take the win. last weeks game, the finals game some years ago....i think it evens out a bit. Thats ball you get some and you dont, we still would have won considering we hit our FT shots.

You beauty!!

Could this be the win where everyone will look back on that changed our season!

woohooo great win!!!

lets carry that form into tomorrows game!!

Has anyone heard from Dan the Man???

All quiet in Dan-land.
