Regular Season Round 20: Breakers - Crocodiles 102-99
Date: February 27, 2014
Not a big story in a game when 8th ranked Townsville Crocodiles (9-15) were edged by sixth ranked New Zealand Breakers (10-15) in Auckland 102-99 on Thursday. The hosts trailed by 5 points after three quarters before their 32-24 charge, which allowed them to win the game. New Zealand Breakers made 18-of-23 free shots (78.3 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Townsville Crocodiles were plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. New Zealand swingman Thomas Abercrombie (198-87, college: Washington St., agency: Priority Sports) orchestrated the victory by scoring 29 points. Fijian-New Zealand forward Mika Vukona (198-82) contributed with 20 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. American forward Brian Conklin (198-89, college: St.Louis) replied with 26 points and 6 rebounds and the former international forward Todd Blanchfield (200-91) added 17 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for Townsville Crocodiles. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Defending champion maintains sixth position with 10-15 record, which they share with Taipans. Townsville Crocodiles at the other side stay at the bottom place with 15 games lost. New Zealand Breakers will face higher ranked Melbourne Tigers (#3) at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Townsville Crocodiles will play against the league's second-placed Adelaide 36ers (#2) in Findon and hope to win that game.
