Cotton's Lay-up Seals Thrilling Game Two

0:00It's March 27th. Welcome to Sydney News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Adelaide 36ers edged out the Sydney Kings 91 to 89 in Game 2 of the NBL Grand Final, leveling the series at one all. Bryce Cotton sealed the win with a stunning left-handed layup over Tory Craig with just 0.2 seconds left after Kendrick Davis missed a drive at the other end. Tensions boiled over right after when Davis got right in Cotton's face yelling and gesturing during the celebration. It marked the second time that night Davis had words with his rival. First, with one minute 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Sydney coach Brian Gorgian brushed it off as typical playoff fire, saying both teams are poking each other to get an edge in the championship chase. He pointed out similar stuff happening game 1 and he's focused on Game 3 ahead. Cotton, fresh off his six MVP award last month, edging Davis by just two votes, called it normal playground basketball from his American roots. Nothing to blow out of proportion.

1:05Reports also surfaced of Sydney assistant Andrew Bogot exchanging heated words with Adelaide's owner post-game, adding to the series Chippy vibe. With both sides standing firm, Game 3 promises more intensity down the stretch.
