Kings shatter records during win over Bullets

Sunday's win by the Sydney Kings over the Brisbane Bullets was an impressive one in many ways, as many team and player records were broken.

Firstly, guard Jaylen Adams became the first Sydney Kings player in history ever to score at least 30 points (32) coming off the bench, overtaking the previous mark of 26 by Kouat Noi.
