Wells Defends Dellavedova Comments, Series Tied

0:00It's April 1st. This is Sydney News today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Corey with the story. Adelaide 36's coach Mike Wells is pushing back hard against claims he disrespected Matthew Deliva during this heated in BL Championship series. The 36 is just tied it up. Two games to two with a heart pounding 92 to 91 win over the Sydney Kings in game four at home last night. Earlier this week, after the Kings took game three, Wells called out the refs for letting Delive Dova play physical without fouls. That sparked fire from Kings coach Brian Gorgian, who slammed Wells for weak comments and showing no respect to an Australian basketball legend. Wells fired right back, saying he has massive respect for Delive Dova's career and impact, but he was just battling for his squad no shade intended. Gorgian wasn't letting it go, even after the loss, insisting the refs handled game four clean and ignored the pre-game noise. Both teams have held serve at home so far, so far close calls for the 36ers in the final seconds, blowouts by 44

1:06and 13 for the Kings. Now it's all on the line for game five down in Sydney on Easter Sunday. With the series dead even, expect the intensity to crank up as these coaches and squads fight for the title.
