Those two losses ultimately denied Adelaide a perfect season but earned the team the nickname "The Invincibles" (the nickname was given by Adelaide's multi-award-winning basketball journalist Boti Nagy). The team had a down year by its recent standards and Adelaide was eliminated in the Elimination Final by their playoff nemesis, the Perth Wildcats. After a slow start which saw the team with a 3-6 record by Round 7 where they took a 10587 mauling at home by the Brisbane Bullets (who returned to the NBL for the first time since 2008), plus early season injuries to captain Mitch Creek (ankle) and Daniel Johnson (hamstring), the 36ers turned their season around from Round 8 with a 10183 away win over Brisbane, highlighted by a monster Terrance Ferguson dunk. Daniel Johnson won his third straight club MVP award and was also named to the All NBL First Team. The team, which included local junior and former NBA player, 7'1" (216cm) centre Luke Schenscher, finished the regular season in 6th place with a 1515 record before losing their quarter final 131101 to the New Zealand Breakers in Auckland.
