Regular Season Round 5: United - Breakers 87-86
Date: November 8, 2015
Third-ranked New Zealand Breakers (4-4) gave a tough game to leader United (9-0) in Melbourne on Sunday. United managed to secure only one-point victory 87-86. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of New Zealand Breakers. New Zealand Breakers were trailing by 5 points at halftime but managed to get 6-point lead after three quarters before a 25-18 charge of United, which allowed them to win the game. 24 personal fouls committed by New Zealand Breakers helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American guard Stephen Holt (193-91, college: St.Mary's, CA) stepped up and scored 21 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and the former international guard Chris Goulding (192-88) chipped in 21 points and 5 rebounds. American guard Cedric Jackson (191-86, college: Cleveland St.) responded with a triple-double by scoring 16 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists and New Zealand swingman Thomas Abercrombie (198-87, college: Washington St., agency: Priority Sports) scored 24 points and 8 rebounds. Four New Zealand Breakers players scored in double figures. United have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. They maintain first place with 9-0 record. Defending champion New Zealand Breakers keep the third position with four games lost. They share it with 36ers and Hawks. United are looking forward to face Cairns Taipans (#6) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. New Zealand Breakers will play against the league's second-placed Perth Wildcats and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
