Sydney Kings start trail to the ThreePeat

Great opening home game cliff-hanger for the Kings on Wednesday night.

The only time they lead in the game was the last 8 seconds. At one point the were 27 points down and went into the fourth quarter behind by 20. Jason Smith (captain) was the stalwart but it was a team effort to gradually close the score down to trailing by 2 when Jason got a pass and shot through two defenders to hit a three-pointer at 7. something seconds and then Andrew Gaze got the ball from the baseline and had one chance at a return three-pointer from just beyond the centercourt...and missed!

Celebration was unbelievable--a bit more exciting than the Grand Final???
