The New Zealand Breakers have kept their NBL finals hopes alive after surviving a late scare to defeat the Tasmania JackJumpers 94-88 in Auckland.
The Breakers, playing at their original home base at Eventfinda Stadium for the first time since 2018, assumed complete control on Friday when they held a 21-point third-quarter lead on the back of a commanding 33-19 second term before the JackJumpers mounted a furious fightback which fell just short.
