A smothering defensive masterclass has allowed the Adelaide Thunderbirds to turn an eagerly awaited Super Netball grand-final rematch into a lopsided annihilation, trouncing the NSW Swifts 58-33.
After trailing narrowly at quarter-time at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday night, the Thunderbirds moved ahead in the second term before suffocating the Swifts 35-13 after halftime.
