    A dominant third quarter and high-flying import have led the Breakers to a big win in the Australian basketball league

    A dominant third quarter and high-flying import have led the Breakers to a big win in the Australian basketball league


    They've beaten the top of the table Perth Wildcats 97-84, off the back of 33 points from American centre Shawn Long.

    The Breakers were down by as many as nine, before outscoring the visitors 26-13 in the third quarter.

    Forward Tai Wesley says Long is the best centre in the competition.



    It's the Breakers eighth win of the season to now sit just one win off fourth.
