The Sydney Kings have notched their sixth NBL home win from nine games, staving off a third-quarter comeback by New Zealand Breakers to emerge 84-65 victors.

Tuesday night s match between the second-last Breakers and seventh-placed 36ers was the first of the season that didn t have an impact on the top four.
