Breakers lack strong plays in final quarter

4:46 pm on 7 January 2010

The New Zealand Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis says an inability to consistently make strong plays in the final quarter has been a sticking point for his basketball side all season.

The Breakers suffered an 83 to 78 away loss to Wollongong in last night's Australian National Basketball League match, despite having a seven point lead at three-quarter time.

The Breakers have now dropped to sixth on the ladder, and Andrej Lemanis says converting a lead into a win in the final quarter has provided some trouble for the team.

But Andrej Lemanis says he's confident the Breakers can turn things around in their fourth away game in a row against Perth tomorrow night.
