The Filipino center had a pair of crowd-pleasing dunks during his stint. His free throw with 6:20 to play in the second quarter gave Adelaide a 16-point spread, 57-41. The Suns got within one point, 82-81, off a Chris Paul jumper with five minutes left in the third frame. But a Sotto dunk off a find by Mitch McCarron sparked a 9-2 run that gave the 36ers control of the game anew.
