    Breakers basketball coach Petteri Koponen is hailing his ANBL side's defensive effort in limiting Hawks centre JaVale McGee during their 117-88 opening victory for the season in Auckland


    The three-time NBA champion was held to 19 points and three rebounds.

    Koponen says a team showing was needed.



    In addition, a historic passing night from guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright with a club record 17 assists helped the Breakers snap an 0 and 4 winless run.
