Bullets get off the mark with win over Kings
The Brisbane Bullets have claimed their maiden win of the 2021 NBL season by downing an injury-hit Sydney Kings 90-87 on Tuesday.
After back-to-back home losses to the Hawks, Brisbane (1-2 record) finally gave their fans something to cheer about at Nissan Arena by breaking their drought in the third-round clash.
The Bullets were staring down the barrel heading into the match, slumping to a 0-2 season start for the first time since 2003.
Brisbane coach Andrej Lemanis was facing the sobering prospect of stumbling to a 0-3 record for the first time since his rookie year at the New Zealand Breakers helm in 2006.
