    The Breakers have been undone by another freakish Bryce Cotton performance to fall 92-89 to the 36ers in Adelaide

    The Breakers have been undone by another freakish Bryce Cotton performance to fall 92-89 to the 36ers in Adelaide


    The Breakers' 12-point lead to start the fourth quarter was chewed up and spat out as Cotton scored 14 of his 42-points in the final period.

    Coach Petteri Koponen says there's not much they could do.



    The loss stamps out any last hope of a playoff appearance for the New Zealand club - who'll have a rematch with Adelaide to look forward to in next Sunday's Ignite Cup final.
