After going into halftime 47-42 down, the Breakers battled back and closed out the third quarter with a 66-61 lead, Fairfax media reports.
Sydney pulled it back to 73-72 in the final quarter before the home side went an 11-0 run to put the result beyond doubt.
Corey Webster led the Breakers with a game-high 24 points, while Reuben Te Rangi potted 14. Captain Mika Vukona had eight points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes on court.
