Breakers Vs Taipans NSEC Dec 16th

looking forward to NZ Vs Perth but this matchup will do till then.
the battle of the 2 Import PG's will be the one to watch.

Breakers by 9 is my prediction

match-ups look fairly balanced.....except for vikona.
his persistent pressure on the boards at both ends may be too much (in the last qtr)for the cairns bigs.

Add Pledgers form off the bench and Breakers should win just based on second chance baskets off offensive boards

Corletto has hit 5 3's in the 1st half. Wilkinson also playing well and Andrew Warren was hot as but missed his last couple.
Refs calling it pretty tight, plenty of soft calls each way.
41-30 with 2mins to go in the 2cnd quarter.

Cheers Trevor, Corletto 21 in the first half 5/7 behind the arc.
Wilkinson has 9. Andrew Warren has 12 and Loughton has 8.
Breakers up 47-33 at the half.
Bloxham has had 5mins so far and Anthony 7mins for 4 points with Lemanis rotating his bench as Jackson, Abercrombie and Vukona all got a couple of quick fouls each.

Fern got the call on the out of bounds then was at half court having a go at Gavin Whiu and he got teched up. Corletto sunk both and then Pledger got a jumpshot on the resulting possesion on the buzzer

Taipans got it down to 10 point lead with 8 points in a row before Jackson started going to the rim.
68-50 5.00 left in the 4th
Coletto has scored anything for a while but Jacksons getting to the rim and finishing and going to the line. He's got 18/6/5/2.

85-65 to the Breakers
Lemanis cleared the bench with 2mins to go.
Corletto (thanks again Trev) with 26 6/8 3's 100% from the free throw line.
Jackson 18 and Wilkinson 13 and 2 blocks including a nice swat on Brad Hill going up for a layup on the fastbreak.
Warren shot the ball well especially off the dribble and had 18, Loughten 13 and Wilson was kept to 11 points 2 assists and a steal.

Perth Vs Nz should be interesting, 5 wins in a row for New Zealand and Bruton is yet to come back from injury but Perth are always strong and even tougher at home.
