The New Zealand Breakers have snapped their four-game losing streak with a 93-88 win over the league leaders Sydney Kings thanks to a clutch three-pointer from Jarrell Brantley.<\/p>\n
The Breakers had lost seven of their last nine games and were in dire need of a win to steer their finals campaign back on track. The win keeps them in third spot on the ladder with just four games remaining.<\/p>\n
A crowd of 14,232 poured into Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena for the clash, the biggest NBL crowd this season.<\/p>\n
As well as his clutch three-point bank shot with 13.7 seconds left, Brantley had one of his best games with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Will McDowell-White added 20 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Sydney had multiple contributors but found nobody to take control of the game to get them over the line.<\/p>\n
Derrick Walton Jr had 17 points, Justin Simon had 16 and Dejan Vasiljevic had 12.<\/p>\n
The Auckland side travel to Brisbane to take on the Bullets on Thursday.<\/p>\n
