NZ into NBL grand final

The New Zealand Breakers have moved into the NBL grand final with a second win over Adelaide.

The New Zealand Breakers charged into the NBL grand final with a 94-83 win over hosts Adelaide on Saturday night to sweep their semi-final series 2-0.

The Breakers' big men dominated the physical battle, holding the 36ers Brock Motum to just two points.

Ekene Ibekwe and Cedric Jackson led the way for the Breakers with both scoring 18 points.

Jackson also had 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals in an outstanding display.

Jamar Wilson (23 points, four assists and four steals) once again led the 36er resistance with a tireless effort.

The Breakers will meet either Perth or Cairns in the NBL decider.

Cairns beat the Wildcats 71-64 in the opening game of their best-of-three semi-final series at the Cairns Convention Centre on Friday night.

Game two is in Perth on Sunday.
