The Sydney Kings were below their best but they did enough to extend a winning streak to 12 games in a row after grinding out a 76-70 victory over the New Zealand Breakers at Bendigo Stadium.
The Kings, the hottest team in the NBL, endured some cold spurts on Tuesday night and were outplayed in the first and third quarters, forced to win ugly against the brave but bottom-placed Breakers, who have now lost eight straight matches.
