    A double-dose of positive news for the Breakers as they fight to keep their dim NBL basketball playoff hopes alight


    The New Zealand side's beaten the Illawarra Hawks 106-95 at Auckland's Spark Arena, led by a game-high 27 from American import Izaiah Brockington.

    The athletic guard has been asked by ESPN if he'd be willing to extend with the club past this season.



    The Breakers sit two wins outside an all-important top-six position on the ladder,...and only have two matches remaining.
