Basketball: Breakers rule out fulltime move

The Breakers have all but ruled out making a fulltime switch to Vector Arena, despite the success of their home opener.

A New Zealand record basketball crowd was at the downtown Auckland stadium for the ANBL champions' game against the Sydney Kings.

But Breakers general manager Richard Clarke says a permanent move to Vector isn't realistic because of the venue's other commitments.

Clarke says ideally they'd like to be able to fill both Vector Arena and the North Shore Events Centre and play at both venues each season.

The Breakers will host the Townsville Crocs at Vector late next month, before returning to the venue to face the Sydney Kings again in late January.
