After a thrilling one-point win over Brisbane, the Sydney Kings would need something ludicrous to happen in the last game of the season to parachute in to the NBL Finals.

The Sydney Kings will cross their fingers for two South East Melbourne Phoenix losses after keeping their slim NBL Finals hopes alive with victory over Illawarra Hawks.
With Hawksâ superstar Tyler Harvey a shock late injury omission, the Kings handled coach Brian Goorjianâs rotating cast with a late flurry to register a character-building 79-73 win.
To book a spot in the playoffs, the Kings now need to defeat Brisbane Bullets on Saturday and hope the Phoenix fall to both New Zealand Breakers the same day and then to the Bullets on Tuesday in the last game of the season.
