Breakers Rally from 16 Down | Auckland News

The Breakers stunned everyone with a gutsy comeback, flipping a 16-point first-half deficit into a buzzer-beating win over the Phoenix, 103-101. DJ Vasiljevic lit up the court with 29 points, while rookie Sam Mennenga delivered 22 in his debut. Even with a scare for point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, the team showed heart and resilience — he’s good to go. Vasiljevic’s clutch shooting and leadership were key, and the squad’s depth and chemistry are starting to click. With one final pre-season game left, this gritty victory is a huge confidence boost as they gear up for their season opener against Illawarra on September 20th.
