WATCH: Cotton steps up in Game 5

They say pressure makes diamonds, and Adelaide’s Bryce Cotton well and truly proved that on Sunday.

On the NBL’s biggest stage, the six-time MVP produced a performance for his 36ers in Game 5 of their Hungry Jack’s Championship Series against Sydney.

In a losing effort, Cotton tallied 35 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.

While ultimately falling short of the ultimate prize, Cotton showed time and time again why he’s one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBL.
