The New Zealand Breakers' mathematical chances of a playoffs place in the Australian basketball league ended on the weekend, when results they needed to go their way didn't.
First the Wollongong Hawks beat the visiting Townsville Crocodiles 94-85, then the Sydney Kings upset the second-placed Adelaide 36ers 100-90.
The playoffs chances of the Breakers, the three-time defending champions, were out of their hands after last week's home loss to Melbourne.
