Brisbane have overcome a nightmarish first 90 seconds under new coach Justin Schueller to haul in a hot-and-cold Adelaide and win their NBL season opener 86-71.

The Bullets, rebuilt on and off-court after a ninth-placed finish last season, trailed 10-0 after 90 seconds and 15-0 a minute later against the 36ers on their sold-out home court on Friday night.
