Regular Season Round 11: Breakers - Taipans 85-65
Date: December 16, 2011
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Auckland. First ranked New Zealand Breakers faced 3rd placed Cairns Taipans. Host New Zealand Breakers (10-3) smashed guests from Cairns (6-6) 85-65. The game was mostly controlled by New Zealand Breakers. Cairns Taipans was better in third quarter 11-9. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. New Zealand Breakers made 22-of-24 charity shots (91.7 percent) during the game. New Zealand Breakers outrebounded Cairns Taipans 42-28 including 16 on the offensive glass. American guard Cedric Jackson (191-86, college: Cleveland St.) orchestrated the victory by scoring 18 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Naturalized British guard Daryl Corletto (193-81) contributed with 26 points for the winners. American guard Andrew Warren (195-87, college: Bradley, agency: Interperformances) answered with 18 points and the former international power forward Alexander Loughton (205-83, college: ODU) added 13 points in the effort for Cairns Taipans. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. New Zealand Breakers have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain first place with 10-3 record. Cairns Taipans at the other side dropped to the fourth position with six games lost. New Zealand Breakers will play against league's second-placed Perth Wildcats on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cairns Taipans will play against Melbourne Tigers and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
