NBL Rd 19 - New Zealand v Sydney
Sport by Michael Randall 22nd May 2021 8:07 PM | Updated: 8:22 PM
A remarkable last quarter turnaround, coupled with a big man tour de force from import Jarell Martin has kept the Sydney Kings’ sputtering season alive.
Neck and neck with the Illawarra Hawks and Brisbane Bullets for the fourth and last NBL finals spot, the Kings did not come out like a team playing for their season.
But the intensity finally lifted late in the last as Martin and fellow tower Jordan Hunter took it on themselves to lead their side to an 81-76 revenge win over the New Zealand Breakers.

Aussie guard William McDowell-White is set to join the New Zealand Breakers for the rest of the NBL season.
The Breakers have added another Australian and a journeyman import to their roster as they confront an extended period without second leading scorer Corey Webster and star import Lamar Patterson this Australian NBL season. The vastly undermanned Kiwi club dropped to 4-7 for the season (eighth of the nine clubs) with a Friday night 85-75 defeat to the Perth Wildcats in their penultimate game of the NBL Cup in Melbourne, and it was clear and obvious they need help on the personnel front.
