    Another blow to the Breakers playoff hopes in basketball's NBL


    Tasmania - who hold the sixth and final berth for the post-season - have moved a further win clear of the New Zealand franchise after a 114 to 70 thrashing of Brisbane in Hobart.

    The now eighth-placed Breakers host seventh-placed Illawarra in Auckland in what becomes a must-win game for the home side.
