January 29, 2009 - Breakers v South Dragons

The South Dragons have beaten the Breakers 101-94 at Auckland's North Shore to cement their number one position on the ladder. The Dragons led by as many as 20 points at one stage during the third quarter, before the Breakers found some of their mojo, closing to within four.
It is a sixth loss in seven ANBL matches for the Breakers, all this month, although they remain third on the ladder.
The health of CJ Bruton will be crucial to the Breakers' chances in the playoffs. Everything the Breakers do goes through Bruton so his fitness should be key for them.
The Dragons' win puts them in the box seat to secure one of the top two playoff spots
The Breakers have four games in the regular season to play.
Our Gamebreaker moment this week comes from the stellar hands of stalwart Kirk Penney

January 22, 2009 - Breakers v Melbourne Tigers

A self-assessed poor performance from the Breakers in round 19 of the Australian basketball league.
The Melbourne Tigers have moved into second place on the competition ladder after a 103-85 win on Auckland's North Shore. The Breakers led by a point at half time but the visitors dominated the final two quarters to seal the victory.
Ebi Ere led the way for the defending champions with a sensational second half display, while Kirk Penney worked tirelessly for the hosts, collecting a game high 28 points.
Both teams now have a 16 win, eight loss record but Melbourne is ahead on points differential.
The Breakers have a chance for instant redemption when they square off with the Tigers again in Melbourne tomorrow night.
The astounding Kirk Penney gets our nod as Gamebreaker for this week (again)

January 15, 2009 - Breakers v Townsville Crocs

A power cut before the final quarter failed to deter a fired up Breakers squad from a trouncing of the Townsville Crocodiles.
They scored their first win for '09 at home beating the Crocs 95-86 at the North Shore Events Centre - leading 49-35 at half-time.
Kirk Penney had a game high 29 points while CJ Bruton continued his return from an ankle injury with 12 points from just 22 minutes of court time.
The win puts the Breakers second on the points ladder.
The Tigers loom next week in a match-up that has many playoff implications. If Bruton's ankle continues to come right, it could be a clash that could re-establish the championship momentum for the Breakers.
This week's gamebreaker moment was a a classic piece of work between Kirk Penney and Phill Jones.

We have double passes to win - email info@maoritelevision.com and be in to win!
