Despite Illawarra’s shooting issues, United gave up more first half points (51) than in any other of their games this season.
The Hawks dominated the offensive glass (18-10) and punished United with 21 points from turnovers.
But they finished the day shooting at 38 per cent from the field to United’s 53, which made things difficult, especially when United locked the paint down in the third quarter.
“It took us a little bit of time to wake up with their physicality and the way they got after it,” said United coach Dean Vickerman.
NBL champion Lual-Acuil returned from a wrist injury for the first minutes of his United comeback, while NBA hopeful Hukporti (21 points, 10 rebounds) shone for the visitors.
Hukporti was United’s rock under the basket and a defensive board in the final minute sealed his third double-double from five games this season. |

Australian basketball legend and Kings co-owner Andrew Bogut chimed in on X where he posted, in part, that Sydney had granted Vasiljevic a release “after he told us he wanted to ‘chase his NBA dream’, not his NBL dream with another club”.
Vasiljevic, fronting the press as a 36er for the first time on Wednesday, fired back at the Kings, saying “they made me look like a villain, they made Adelaide look like the villain”.
But on Thursday night, Bruton called for Sydney to “move on”.

27635 | Eddie Jones says he needs to ‘give myself an uppercut’ but ‘100 percent’ committed to coaching Wallabies
Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has again denied any contact with Japan and committed to staying in the job through to the next World Cup.
“That’s the intention, mate, but as you know, we play in a game where the coach doesn’t decide how long they stay,” he said at a media conference on Tuesday, adding he had a “100 percent” passion to continue coaching the Wallabies.
“I’m staying. I’ve always been committed to Australian rugby, want to leave it in a better place and that’s still the job. “

He was asked about his pre-tournament press conference where he attacked reporters’ negativity – “I probably need to give myself an uppercut, don’t I?” he joked.
Jones said he accepted that a review would be required into the World Cup flop, but his statement puts the ball firmly in Rugby Australia’s court as far as his future goes. |

Jones was named Wallabies coach at the start of the year as replacement for Dave Rennie. He came in with grand statements that his team could win the Rugby Championship, Bledisloe Cup and make a smash and grab on the World Cup.
None of those targets were achieved and Jones changed his tune about building for the future when he named a young team for the doomed Cup campaign – where his team became the first Australians to bow out of a RWC in the pool stages.
He finished the year with a 2-7 win loss record – the only two victories coming against lowly Georgia and Portugal.

27675 | World Series 2023 live score: Rangers vs. Diamondbacks updates, highlights, results from Game 4
The Rangers found themselves one strike away from a championship twice in 2011. They couldn't finish the job. On Wednesday night, they'll have a chance to avenge that painful finish.
Texas found out before Tuesday's Game 4 that slugger Adolis Garcia's season was over, but a talented lineup didn't miss a beat. The Rangers erupted for five runs in the second inning and five more in the third, bludgeoning Arizona's bullpen to take a 10-0 lead in the blink of an eye.
Corey Seager came through with his third home run of the series, while Marcus Semien drove in five of the Rangers' first 10 runs — including a three-run blast that put Texas up by double digits.
FAGAN: Three things Diamondbacks need to flip script on World Series
The Diamondbacks have earned a reputation for not backing down, and to their credit, they didn't. |
