The Sydney Kings will cross their fingers for two South East Melbourne Phoenix losses after keeping their slim NBL Finals hopes alive with victory over Illawarra Hawks.
With Hawksâ superstar Tyler Harvey a shock late injury omission, the Kings handled coach Brian Goorjianâs rotating cast with a late flurry to register a character-building 79-73 win.
To book a spot in the playoffs, the Kings now need to defeat Brisbane Bullets on Saturday and hope the Phoenix fall to both New Zealand Breakers the same day and then to the Bullets on Tuesday in the last game of the season.

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.
