Last-Second Chaos! Cotton’s Buzzer-Beater Shocks Kings in NBL Finals Thriller
Absolute chaos has unfolded in Adelaide and this NBL Championship Series has just been blown wide open.
In one of the most dramatic finishes you will see in basketball, Bryce Cotton delivered a stunning buzzer-beater to lift the Adelaide 36ers to a 91–89 victory over the Sydney Kings, leveling the series at 1–1.
This was not just a game, it was a full-scale comeback under pressure. Adelaide had been down by as many as 14 points in the second half and at that stage, it looked like Sydney was in complete control. But the 36ers refused to fold. They fought back with relentless three-point shooting, sharper ball movement and a surge of energy from a home crowd that sensed something special was building.
By the final seconds, the scores were locked. Sydney had the chance to win it, but Kendric Davis missed a tough drive. The ball spilled loose and that’s when everything changed. Cotton grabbed it with just seconds left, sprinted the length of the floor and finished a difficult layup under heavy pressure as time expired. Game over.

And just like that, the narrative of this series flipped.
Cotton finished with 28 points and he wasn’t alone. Adelaide’s supporting cast stepped up in a big way, hitting crucial shots and converting at the free-throw line with near perfection. On the other side, Sydney dominated the boards, especially on offense, but they simply could not convert those extra chances into enough points when it mattered most.
Tensions boiled over after the final buzzer, with Davis confronting Cotton in a heated moment that had to be broken up. That tells you everything about the intensity of this matchup. This is no longer just a series, it’s a battle.
And now, all eyes turn to Game 3. With momentum shifting and confidence restored, Adelaide heads into Sydney with belief, while the Kings are left to regroup after letting a crucial win slip through their fingers.
This moment could define the championship. A single play, a single shot and suddenly everything changes.
