Can the Breakers back up their victory over the Kings on Thursday or will Deleon and the Hawks be too much for them.
Breakers only won by 1 when Deleon choked on the line in the last game so another close contest should be on the cards.
Breakers by 7. 3peat.

Deleon is playing and Malcolm Grant has been cleared to play.
Tyson Demos is a game time decision still. He's had some knee pain during practice and apparently went down on Thursday. Friday's practice was called off because they were worried they would get another injury before Saturday!

Great outside shooter but can create his own shot. Will see how he pulls up today

This game tips off at 5pm our time? Or 4:30? But why so early?

Early because in Wollongong you have a lot of Australia day celebrations around the harbor, so the game is earlier to capitalize on the crowd that will already been in the area.

Adelaide fans can rest easy....
The 6ers are not the only team that makes Leon Henry look good.
Gordie....can we have Zac on now?
I'd like to be entertained.

Leon Henry makes the most of his opportunities and is a decent player playing behind great players in Vukona, Abercrombie and Boucher. 14 points @ 50% 3 rebounds and 2 assists off the bench is a solid effort. Breakers will need guys like him knocking down the 3 ball against Perths zone come the finals.
Jackson with 18 points 7 rebounds 8 assists and 3 steals and Deleon with 24 points (8/9 from the freethrow line)
Club record 9 game winning streak and 17/3 for the Breakers.
Welp, with this round NZ has taken the baton from Perth. Clearly the team to beat. Only way I can see for the Cats is a nigh impossible series sweep against NZ to get the home court. But NZ seem to have sorted out their deficiencies and are effectively unstoppable to the rest of the comp.
If the Cats want minor premiership and the home finals, they'll have to win it off their own sweat and that game against Townsville is not the at level they will need.

On another note lets hope Sav's knee injury is nothing serious and hopefully he can be back on the court next round. How disastrous and unlucky would 3 serious knee injuries to one team in the space of a few weeks be? He was playing well before it happened, bullying Abercrombie in the low post.
