LIVE STREAM: Reading Rockets v Milton Keynes Breakers – KitKing Trophy Final (2pm)

By Sam Neter on March 15, 2025

Watch live as Reading Rockets and Milton Keynes Breakers go head-to-head on Saturday in the KitKing Trophy Final at Surrey Sports Park from 2pm.

Fresh credentials to be etched on the silverware and, if the history between these teams is anything to go by, the 2024/25 final has the potential to be an instant classic.

It could be argued the psychological advantage will go to the Breakers, who, in their short existence, have reached three finals and won all three, one of which was against Reading.

Then in NBL2 South, the Breakers beat the Rockets 95-85 in the National Cup final in 2024, followed by a Playoff final success against Team Solent Kestrels in April. Before those two victories, they dominated the UEL Lions in the NBL3 Playoff final.

However, the Rockets have won the only piece of silverware so far this season, as 30 points from MVP Justin Hopkins sealed a resounding 108-83 win over Hemel Storm in January’s National Cup final.

It makes for a finely balanced showpiece, with both coaches proud of the work their teams have done so far.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
