So much for grounding the Hawks. 🦅

United won the first quarter, won the fourth and still lost 91–89 to a 1–6 Illawarra side at John Cain Arena. A 35–16 second quarter did the damage, and Makur Maker’s three with 71 seconds left sealed it. United slip to 3–4. 😩

Cole Anthony’s technical cost him most of the first half before he poured in 20 after the break. And yes, Milton Doyle came back to haunt us…
