    Mixed emotions within the Breakers after a last second overtime defeat at home to Adelaide in basketball's NBL

    Mixed emotions within the Breakers after a last second overtime defeat at home to Adelaide in basketball's NBL


    The hosts had a one-point lead and possession - but were pinged for a five-second time violation trying to inbound the ball.

    36ers guard Bryce Cotton then nailed the game-winning three-pointer.

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen admits it's a tough one to take.



    It's the Breakers' 17th of the season - they remain in seventh on the standings.
