Basketball: Breakers' double crash

The NZ Breakers last night lost 102-90 to South Dragons, ending a miserable weekend in Melbourne in which they lost to the best and worst teams in the Australian National Basketball League.

On Saturday, league leaders the Melbourne Tigers beat them 115-90; last night's result was the Dragons' first win in seven games.

The Breakers looked jaded from their previous night's exertions, and Tall Black Kirk Penney, who led the way against the Tigers with 29 points, summed up the sleepy Sunday by missing all seven of his first half attempts.
