    Breakers coach Petteri Kopponen insists it's not all doom and gloom amid their poor start to the new NBL basketball season

    Breakers coach Petteri Kopponen insists it's not all doom and gloom amid their poor start to the new NBL basketball season


    Their winless streak stretched to four with a 21-point defeat to the Kings in Sydney.

    A run of three games in Auckland is on its way - and Kopponen says they're good enough to finally get on the board in front of a home crowd.
