Regular Season Round 25: Crocodiles - Breakers 69-76
Date: March 23, 2012
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Wulguru. First ranked New Zealand Breakers faced 4th placed Townsville Crocodiles. Guests from Auckland (21-7) defeated host Townsville Crocodiles (15-13) 76-69. Townsville Crocodiles were trailing by 3 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 24-16 charge of New Zealand Breakers, which allowed them to win the game. They made 19-of-22 free shots (86.4 percent) during the game. American power forward Gary Wilkinson (204-82, college: Utah St.) stepped up and scored 16 points and 6 rebounds for the winners and New Zealand swingman Thomas Abercrombie (198-87, college: Washington St., agency: Priority Sports) chipped in 20 points. At the losing side American forward Elvin Mims (196-79, college: S.Mississippi) responded with 14 points and 6 rebounds and the other American import point guard Edward Gill (184-78, college: Weber St., agency: Priority Sports) scored 11 points. Townsville Crocodiles' coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. New Zealand Breakers have an impressive series of six victories in a row. They maintain first place with 21-7 record. Loser Townsville Crocodiles keep the fourth position with 13 games lost. They share it with Taipans. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
