**Sydney, Australia –** The Sydney Kings, fresh off a hard-fought comeback victory against Brisbane, are setting their sights on a second win over the New Zealand Breakers this month. Coach Brian Goorjian and his team travel to Auckland this Friday for a crucial round 13 NBL clash, tipping off at 5:30 pm AEDT on ESPN.
The Kings’ Sunday win over Brisbane saw them overcome a tough challenge, with Goorjian praising his team’s defense and resilience. “For the most part, I liked the way we defended,” he said, highlighting the team’s ability to wear down their opponents in the fourth quarter. “I like the way we won that game, by not letting them break our spirit and sticking with it.”
Goorjian acknowledges the importance of carrying this momentum into their New Zealand matchup, emphasizing the tight nature of the NBL ladder. “This competition is so tight… so it’s imperative we keep this thing rolling on Friday,” he stated. Despite the Breakers’ recent losses, Goorjian expects a fierce battle on their home court. “This league is so tough, so we know they’re going to come ready to play,” he warned.
