The great Bryce Cotton poured in 42 points to put the Adelaide 36ers within one win of their first NBL grand final since 2018 with a 104-97 victory over South East Melbourne Phoenix.

Fresh from collecting his sixth league MVP award, Cotton felt he was "in a flow state" as he hit 17-of-25 from the field - including 6-of-11 from three-point range - in front of a record Adelaide Entertainment Crowd of 10,055 on Tuesday night.
