The Breakers have got themselves within striking  distance of the playoffs.

An 88-70 victory over Melbourne United at the North Shore Events Centre means the fate is now out of their hands and must rely on the remaining results in the final round to fall their way.

With Mika Vukona sidelined with a knee infection rookie Shea Ili and Finn Delaney stood up making a crucial 12 and 13 points respectively.

Coach Paul Henare said he was incredibly proud and particularly pleased to see everyone on the floor stepping up and performing when they needed it.

The Breakers need Melbourne to beat Perth in the final game of the season to advance.
