The Sydney Kings set a new record for the largest crowd in NBL history.

18,049 Kings fans filled in Qudos Bank Arena stands for Game 3 of the 2023 NBL Championship Series against the New Zealand Breakers.

The previous high (17,514) was also in this building back in 2019. The fans then attended Qudos to watch current NBA star LaMelo Ball play for the Illawarra Hawks vs. the Kings.

Via Fox Sports, Friday's all-time record attendance is also the third largest crowd in Australian basketball history – only behind two exhibition games against Team USA at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium in 2019.

The Sydney Kings are one win away from back-to-back NBL championships after a comfortable 91-68 victory over the NZ Breakers.
