Regular Season Round 15: Breakers - United 88-75

Date: January 18, 2015
An interesting game for New Zealand Breakers (17-5) which hosted in Auckland 4th placed United (11-10). First ranked New Zealand Breakers managed to get a 13-point victory 88-75. The hosts trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 46-32 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. New Zealand Breakers made 20-of-25 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when New Zealand Breakers made 7 blocks. It was an exceptional evening for American guard Cedric Jackson (191-86, college: Cleveland St.) who led the winners with a triple-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Nigerian-American power forward Ekenechukwu Ibekwe (206-85, college: Maryland) accounted for 15 points and 9 rebounds for the winning side. Four New Zealand Breakers players scored in double figures. American guard Stephen Dennis (198-87, college: Kutztown) came up with 18 points and 6 rebounds and the former international power forward Daniel Kickert (208-83, college: St.Mary's, CA) added 15 points and 9 rebounds respectively for United in the defeat. United's coach Chris Anstey rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. New Zealand Breakers have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain first place with 17-5 record. United at the other side keeps the fourth position with ten games lost. New Zealand Breakers will meet at home Kings (#6) in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. United will have a break next round.
