    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen admits the implementation of Tacko Fall has been a challenge, following a 91-89 ANBL basketball loss to Melbourne United in New Plymouth

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen admits the implementation of Tacko Fall has been a challenge, following a 91-89 ANBL basketball loss to Melbourne United in New Plymouth


    The seven-foot-six-inch centre drew 10 fouls, but only shot two of eight free throws and played 15 minutes.

    Koponen says they couldn't trust the pass when Fall was double-teamed.



    The Breakers next host Tasmania in Auckland on Thursday.
