    The rough patch of results continues for the Breakers after their 11th loss in their last 12 games in basketball's NBL

    The rough patch of results continues for the Breakers after their 11th loss in their last 12 games in basketball's NBL


    They've gone down 108-100 to the table-topping Hawks in Illawarra - falling behind by as many as 24 points.

    Coach Petteri Koponen offered this assessment - crediting his team for turning a 21-point halftime deficit into an 8-point fulltime margin.



    The Breakers remain second-to-last on the table.
