Robert Franks and Daniel Johnson have combined for 53 points to ensure Adelaide bounced back from last week's overtime loss to South East Melbourne to beat Illawarra 96-80 on the road.
In the absence of the NBL's lead scorer in Craig Randall II, who sat out of Thursday's contest with a bruised sternum, Franks and Johnson missed just seven shots between them to hand Illawarra their seventh consecutive defeat.
