The New Zealand Breakers are a New Zealand professional men's basketball team competing in the Australasian National Basketball League (NBL). The Breakers joined the NBL for the 2003/04 season (along with the now-defunct Hunter Pirates) as one of two expansion clubs. The club is based in the city of Auckland, New Zealand and split their home games between the 4,400 capacity North Shore Events Centre (NSEC), known as "The Breakerdome" within the NBL, and the 9,300 seat Vector Arena where they play select games against higher drawing teams as well as all finals games due to the higher capacity. They are currently owned by Paul & Liz Blackwell, owners of a local Pak'n Save supermarket. - Wikipedia
