Cedric Jackson hit a spectacular half court three-pointer in the final second of overtime to snatch a nail-biting 89-87 overtime win for the New Zealand Breakers over the Perth Wildcats.
The win keeps the Breakers' hopes alive of finishing at the top of the National Basketball League table.
Jackson hit the half court three-pointer in the final second of the second period of overtime that ensured the Breakers will go into this weekend's showdown against the leading Cairns Taipans with a chance to jump into the No.1 position.
The lead changed hands 11 times in the two periods of overtime last night, after the scores had been tied at 68-all at the end of regular time.
Cairns will go into the final round with one more win than the Breakers who need to win by 26 points on Sunday at Vector Arena to grab top spot.
