THE Wollongong Hawks have moved one step closer to securing a playoff spot after prevailing 81-74 against arch rivals the Sydney Kings in the battle for third place on Friday.
The Kings crept within six points in the final two minutes, but steady free-throw shooting from Larry Davidson down the stretch saw the Hawks claim the vital clash, with one regular season game remaining for both teams.
Adris Deleon gave the Hawks a vital surge in the second quarter, where he poured in nine of his 25 points as Wollongong grasped control of the game.
Oscar Forman had three timely triples as part of his 15 points, while Malcolm Grant helped settle Wollongong’s early nerves by calmly and instantly producing off the bench for 10 points in 21 minutes.
