Breakers Claim Inaugural NBL Cup Title!
23 Feb
Summary
- New Zealand Breakers won the first NBL Ignite Cup.
- The franchise secured a prize of $300,000.
- Parker Jackson-Cartwright led the Breakers with 29 points.
The New Zealand Breakers have emerged victorious in the first-ever NBL Ignite Cup, securing a dramatic 111-107 win over Adelaide in the inaugural final. This significant achievement comes shortly after the team narrowly missed qualifying for the league's play-in tournament.
The franchise is set to receive a substantial $300,000 reward for their championship success. The Breakers' triumph was largely driven by an outstanding offensive performance, particularly from Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who netted 29 points despite a slow start.
Supporting players Sam Mennenga and Izaiah Brockington also contributed significantly, each scoring 21 points. The Breakers had to contend with a remarkable effort from Adelaide's Bryce Cotton, who almost single-handedly propelled his team towards victory with a 34-point haul, playing the entire game.
