    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen has called out import forward Rob Baker after the side's 99-91 ANBL loss to the Perth Wildcats in Auckland

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen has called out import forward Rob Baker after the side's 99-91 ANBL loss to the Perth Wildcats in Auckland


    The American was held to just 15 minutes of court time - with Carlin Davinson largely preferred off the bench.

    Koponen says Baker has consistently struggled to guard good players.



    The Breakers sit eighth with an eight-win 14-loss record.
