Firebirds shooter Donnell Wallam has missed two super shots inside the last nine seconds, allowing the Adelaide Thunderbirds to start their Super Netball title defence by escaping with a thrilling 63-62 win.
With the Queenslanders trailing by one at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday night, Wallam went for glory but overcooked her first two-point attempt, which was rebounded by Thunderbirds defender Shamera Sterling-Humphrey, who celebrated enthusiastically.
