Latest from NZ Breakers

The Breakers arrested their form slump in the most dramatic fashion last night at Vector Arena, overcoming a 23-point deficit to record one of the great ANBL comeback victories.

The Breakers were at their hot-and-cold best in beating Townsville at Vector Arena tonight, with a potentially defining comeback.

In a bizarre co-incidence, the two teams met at the same stage last season, when the the Breakers held a 5-1 record and were heavily favoured to beat Wollongong, but the visitors easily won 73-57.

As the players gazed at the championship banner being raised at the North Shore Events Centre last night, a few of them might have been contemplating whether they can add another one in 12 months' time.

The Breakers wore smiles at the end of tonight's match but for a long time they were grimaces as they stumbled their way to their first win at home this season.
