abc.net.au/news/nbl-grand-final-game-one-nz-breakers-sydney-kings/102053124Sydney Kings duo Xavier Cooks and Derrick Walton Jr sustained game-ending leg injuries as the New Zealand Breakers drew first blood in the best-of-five NBL grand final series with a 95-87 win.Justin Simon top-scored for the Kings with an 18-point haulBreakers back-court duo Will McDowell-White and Barry Brown Jr took turns in silencing the 13,145-strong crowd in Sydney on Friday night.
Cooks's night ended in the closing minutes when he limped off the court, a few minutes after Walton hobbled to the bench with cramp in his right leg midway through the fourth term. The reigning champions predictably attacked the rim hard early but a wayward 4-of-9 conversion rate from the foul line put them on the back foot.
McDowell-White's expert penetration and facilitation continued to hurt the hosts, who were outplayed in the second stanza.
