New Zealand’s Encore
The Breakers recorded an impressive 42-point victory over the Hawks last week. Led by standout forward Sam Mennenga, who continues his All-NBL level form, they started strong and never lost control of the game. Their next challenge is to deliver a similar performance in front of a home crowd.
Cotton’s Warm-Up
This round is significant for five-time MVP Bryce Cotton, who faces his former team for the first time on Sunday. Before that, he and his squad must travel to New Zealand and maintain their winning streak. While the team insists their focus is on the next game, it’s natural that Cotton may already be thinking about what lies beyond this matchup.
