Worrying signs for the Breakers as their slump continues in the Australian Basketball League

Worrying signs for the Breakers as their slump continues in the Australian Basketball League

6 December 2024

They've dropped their third game in a row - outclassed 97-70 by Melbourne United in Christchurch.

The Breakers were held to just seven points in the third quarter.

Coach Petteri Koponen has pinpointed the main area of concern.

Melbourne centre Rob Loe tormented his former side with a game high 25 points.

The Breakers remain third in the league - they host the Sydney Kings tomorrow night in Wellington.
