Very important is a home loss of United (1-1) against New Zealand Breakers (1-1) on Sunday night. Host United was defeated by New Zealand Breakers in a tough game in Melbourne 81-88. The guests trailed by 9 points after first quarter, but they rallied back winning two of next three quarters and won the game by 7 points. New Zealand Breakers dominated down low during the game scoring 62 of its points in the paint compared to United's 34. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when New Zealand Breakers made 7 blocks. It was a very good performance for American-Fijian forward Tai Wesley (201-86, college: Utah St.) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 6 rebounds (made all of his seven free throws). New Zealand forward Thomas Abercrombie (198-87, college: Washington St.) contributed with 16 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. The former international guard Chris Goulding (192-88) answered with 22 points and international guard Mitchell McCarron (191-92, college: Metro St.) added 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for United. Four United players scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. New Zealand Breakers will face Kings (#7) in Sydney in the next round. United will play at home against Adelaide 36ers (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
