CREEK'S DUNK ON DELLY vs INCREDIBLE COMEBACK IN PLAYOFF

MITCH CREEK DUNK:
It was the dunk heard around the world, and it catapulted the NBL into the stratosphere and straight onto ESPN SportsCenter. Throwdown XIII had arguably the most memorable moment to happen on an Australian court in the last ten years when Mitch Creek posterized Matthew Dellavedova in front of a packed crowd at John Cain Arena.
Thanks to a 2-on-1 fast break and a perfectly lobbed pass from Izayah Le’Afa, Creek slammed down a thunderous jam on Dellavedova – who admittedly did the best anyone could in the situation – to send the crowd into hysterics.
Creek’s animated celebrations drew retribution from Mason Peatling, inciting a bench-clearing brawl and seeing the United big suspended for a game, three Phoenix players fined, and a United coach financially reprimanded for his role in the melee.
INCREDIBLE COMEBACK IN PLAYOFF:
Just 26 points at halftime—against the lowest seed in the NBL post-season—and the Phoenix found themselves staring down the barrel of a straight-sets exit. Everything that could go wrong did, and the usually raucous Fire Pit fell eerily silent as Kendric Davis and Montrezl Harrell threatened to douse the flame of South East Melbourne’s Cinderella run.
Then came the spark.
A now-infamous halftime rev-up from former assistant Sam Mackinnon lit the fuse, and the Phoenix erupted. Down 21 in the final term, they mounted the greatest comeback in club history. Ben Ayre’s fearless 17-point cameo, Angus Glover’s timely 10, and a breakout 25-point, 9-rebound performance from Matt Hurt flipped the script—and the scoreboard.
