1985 New Zealand NBL season memorable, with Wellington and Auckland facing off against each other for the third straight year. The game was televised live and most were expecting Auckland to revenge their 1984 defeat after garnering two 20-point wins over Wellington during the regular season. The game was a thriller, having to be sent into overtime after the scores were locked at 100 a piece after four quarters. Saints legend Kenny McFadden went on to hit the winning three-point shot at the buzzer to claim a 114–111 overtime win and back-to-back championships. 1985 New Zealand NBL season The 1985 New Zealand National Basketball League
