    Scotty Hopson has kept the Breakers' Australian Basketball League playoff hopes alive during their 99-96 victory over the Bullets in Brisbane


    The swingman's scored 27 points and hit a game-winning buzzer beater three-pointer to steal a seventh win of the season.

    Hopson says he's always confident in those positions.



    The win sees the Breakers rise to seventh on the ladder, four points outside the top four.
