    Coach Petteri Koponen is putting his hand up for the crucial turnover in the Breakers overtime defeat to Adelaide in basketball's NBL

    Coach Petteri Koponen is putting his hand up for the crucial turnover in the Breakers overtime defeat to Adelaide in basketball's NBL


    The hosts had a one-point lead and possession - but were pinged for a five-second time violation trying to inbound the ball.

    36ers guard Bryce Cotton then nailed a three-pointer to seal a 112 to 110 win.

    Koponen says as a coach you have to take responsibility.
