    Breakers coach Mody Maor believes star guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright can once again be the deciding factor in a sudden death playoff

    Breakers coach Mody Maor believes star guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright can once again be the deciding factor in a sudden death playoff


    The guard drained 36 points in the Breakers' comeback win over Sydney -- helping set up tonight's do-or-die NBL playoff against the Hawks in Illawarra.

    Maor says PJC's performance against the Kings was a direct result of everyone else focusing on their game plan -- but he's fantastic regardless.



    Tip off is at 9:30pm.

    BASKETBALL WITH BURGER KING'S CRUNCHY BARBECUE WHOPPER. THE LOUDEST WHOPPER YET.
