Basketball: Second loss for Breakers

Mistakes at crucial times have cost the Breakers in basketball's Australian NBL.

They have suffered a 104-96 defeat at the hands of the West Sydney Razorbacks on Auckland's North Shore.

Coach Andrej Lemanis says his side turned the ball over at precisely the wrong times. He says they only turned the ball over 15 times throughout the contest which is not bad, but it is the point at which they came which was the killer.

Lemanis says they would get close to West Sydney and then make a mistake and be back trailing by six. He points out that the Razorbacks shot the ball at 56 per cent from the three point line while his side was at 35 per cent.

It is the Breakers' second defeat in two games this season, after the season-opening loss to Cairns. West Sydney has now won three out of four games this season.

The Breakers are back in action next Thursday against the Townsville Crocodiles.
