A huge dunk from Kai Sotto in Adelaide 36ers' 82-71 win over Cairns Taipans in Australia's National Basketball League has earned him his team's Play of the Day.
Sunday's win at Adelaide Entertainment Centre saw the 36ers get back to winning ways after losing their last outing to Brisbane Bullets, and was only their third victory in their last eight matches.

Sotto's big moment came with five minutes remaining in the second quarter, as he rose unchallenged to convert a pass from Mitch McCarron with authority.
The Filipino center -- standing at 2.18 meters -- finished with five points and six rebounds from 12:22 minutes on court.
Still only 19, Sotto is slowly but surely finding his feet in Adelaide since moving to the NBL last April.
His standout game for the 36ers thus far came at the end of January, when he recorded 12 points and four rebounds -- including the game-clinching jumper -- in an overtime win over the top-seeded Melbourne United.
