The Breakers are two from two after knocking over defending champions the Melbourne Tigers on Auckland's North Shore, winning 120 -111 to send a clear signal they are a force to be reckoned with this season. The Breakers led 59-58 at half-time.
My Gamebreaker moment came at the buzzer in the third quarter. CJ got cornered and got the ball out to Kirk Penney, who scored the three pointer with deadly accuracy.
It certainly gave the Breakers an edge heading into the final quarter.
Forwards Tony Ronaldson and Oscar Forman led the scoring for the Breakers with 23 points each. It was clear their defence was the key and that allowed them to create some good offence.
The Breakers are back at the North Shore Events Centre next week and have three more home games before they hit the road.
I'd love your comments on the game - and we have five double passes to the game at the North Shore Events centre. Email info@maoritelevision.com to be in to win!

September 18, 2008. Breakers V Hawks
The Breakers lived up to the pre-season hype last night with a superb result against the Hawks.The star of the game was Breakers shooting guard Kirk Penney who scored a career high 41 points.
Kirk Penney unleashed in the second half, with just 10 of his points coming in the first as the Breakers struggled to get up to speed.
This gives the Breakers a flying start for the new season. I think the side lifted their defensive intensity after a lacklustre first half.
The Breakers face the defending champion Tigers in their next game.
Our Gamebreaker moment for this week is anothe magic Kirk Penney moment, in the final three minutes of the third quarter.
This was his fifth three pointer of the game.I'd love your comments on the game - and we have five double passes to the Tigers game at the North Shore Events centre. Email info@maoritelevision.com to be in to win!
