Regular Season Round 5: Taipans - Breakers 70-73
Date: November 4, 2017
Important game to mention about took place in Cairns. First ranked New Zealand Breakers (6-1) saved a 3-point victory on the road edging 5th ranked Cairns Taipans (3-5) 73-70 on Saturday evening. New Zealand Breakers outrebounded Cairns Taipans 39-27 including a 28-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Fijian-New Zealand center Mika Vukona (197-82) stepped up and scored 10 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and New Zealand swingman Kirk Penney (196-80, college: Wisconsin, agency: Duran International) chipped in 16 points. American-Venezuelan forward Michael Carrera (196-93, college: S.Carolina) responded with 16 points and 6 rebounds and American guard Scoochie Smith (188-94, college: Dayton) scored 12 points and 6 rebounds. Five New Zealand Breakers and four Cairns Taipans players scored in double figures. Cairns Taipans' coach rotated ten 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 6-1 record. Cairns Taipans lost third consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with five games lost. They share it with Hawks. New Zealand Breakers will play against league's second-placed Perth Wildcats on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cairns Taipans will play against Bullets in Brisbane and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
