Breakers lose in Chch

Casey Prather and Keandre Cook combined for 50 points and 10 threes to keep the Brisbane Bullets alive in the top six race with the hard fought 93-87 win in Christchurch over the New Zealand Breakers.

Prather and Cook helped their team overcome an early 10-0 run Breakers lead, but once Brisbane hit the front later in the first quarter, they never surrendered it again, even though the Breakers got within two late to give them a scare.

Both teams leave Christchurch and have to back up to play tomorrow afternoon, with the Bullets first up in their last home game of the season against Melbourne United. The Breakers are on the road to Adelaide 36ers. — APL
