Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis described Cedric Jackson's efforts against Cairns as a "quiet 32 points" - but would his recent feats have created any noise in the loudest of basketball landscapes?

The most dangerous team in the Australian NBL may be the Breakers the week following defeat. The Breakers came out with a vengeance against the Cairns Taipans at Vector Arena last night, clinching the game by the third quarter before strolling to a 21-po
