Regular Season Round 13: Breakers - Taipans 82-69

Date: January 7, 2018
There was no surprise in Auckland where 5th ranked Cairns Taipans (9-12) were defeated by third ranked New Zealand Breakers (12-6) 82-69 on Sunday. New Zealand Breakers looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Dominican-American point guard Edgar Sosa (190-88, college: Louisville) fired 19 points and 6 assists for the winners. American guard DJ Newbill (193-92, college: Penn St.) chipped in 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Four New Zealand Breakers players scored in double figures. American forward Jerry Evans (203-90, college: Nevada) produced a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds and international guard Mitchell McCarron (191-92, college: Metro St.) added 5 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists respectively for lost side. New Zealand Breakers keep a position of league leader, which they share with United and Wildcats. Loser Cairns Taipans keep the fifth place with 12 games lost. New Zealand Breakers will face Illawarra Hawks (#6) in Gwynneville in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Cairns Taipans will play on the road against United in Melbourne and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
