Date: January 13, 2012
Not a big story in a game when 8th ranked Adelaide 36ers (5-11) lost to second ranked New Zealand Breakers (12-5) in Auckland 63-80 on Friday. The game was mostly controlled by New Zealand Breakers. Adelaide 36ers was better in fourth quarter 17-15. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. New Zealand Breakers dominated down low during the game scoring 54 of its points in the paint compared to Adelaide 36ers' 26. They outrebounded Adelaide 36ers 50-24 including a 19-5 advantage in offensive rebounds. It was a good game for New Zealand swingman Thomas Abercrombie (198-87, college: Washington St., agency: Priority Sports) who led his team to a victory with 22 points. American guard Cedric Jackson (191-86, college: Cleveland St.) contributed with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists for the winners. Four New Zealand Breakers players scored in double figures. New Zealand Breakers' coach Andrej Lemanis used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Chris Warren (178-88, college: Mississippi) answered with 14 points and the other American import forward Diamon Simpson (201-87, college: St.Mary's, CA) added 8 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Adelaide 36ers. New Zealand Breakers keep a position of league leader, which they share with Wildcats. Loser Adelaide 36ers keep the eighth place with 11 games lost. New Zealand Breakers will face Melbourne Tigers (#4) at home in the next round. Adelaide 36ers will play against Cairns Taipans (#3).
