What happened: Adelaide kept Sydney out of transition, forcing a halfcourt game where Matt Kenyon delivered a standout defensive performance. Adelaide paired the defensive effort with extreme perimeter volume, shooting 17-for-50 from three-point range.

Why it matters: The defensive game plan dictated the pace and exploited a Sydney roster returning from an extended break. Adelaide's ability to set its defense prevented easy scoring opportunities.

By the numbers: Adelaide converted 34 percent of its 50 three-point attempts.

What to watch: Sydney will look to regain its offensive fluidity in its next contest.
