    That's the assessment from coach Mody Maor as the Breakers look to continue their push up the ladder in basketball's NBL against league leaders Melbourne United in New Plymouth tonight.

    The New Zealand club remain eighth on the 10-team ladder - but have had an improved recent stretch - and Maor says they're in a much better place than they were in the first part of the season.



    Tip-off in the Taranaki tonight is at 7.30.
