NBA-bound Josh Giddey has become the first Australian in NBL history to notch back-to-back triple doubles while steering the Adelaide 36ers to a comprehensive 101-79 dismantling of the Brisbane Bullets.
The 18-year-old playmaking wizard, who nominated for the NBA draft during the week and is touted as a lottery pick, collected 15 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in Adelaide on Saturday night.
It trumped his 12-10-10 trifecta in Monday s loss to New Zealand Breakers in Launceston.

Levi Randolph s last-second runner has given the New Zealand Breakers a heart-stopping 86-84 win over the Perth Wildcats and kept their faint NBL playoff hopes alive.
John Mooney s dunk from Mitch Norton s inbound had allowed the Wildcats to equalise with 4.5 seconds left at Launceston s Silverdome on Saturday night.
But the Breakers called time-out and Randolph executed the set-up play perfectly, attacking Norton and sinking his match-winning shot over Luke Travers with 0.1 seconds remaining.
Randolph (19 points) was well supported by captain Thomas Abercrombie (14) and Tai Webster (12), whose fourth-quarter playmaking was pivotal on his return from injury.
