0 Number of points scored by Daryl Corletto. He and fellow shooting guard Corey Webster (6pts) went 3/13 on the night – not enough production from two reputable shooters.
8 The total points scored by the Breakers in the opening quarter. You can’t win a game in the opening period but you can dig yourself a big hole to get out of. 18-8 behind was not the start the team was looking for.
9 Losses to date this season. The 4-9 start to the season is the worst since a 3-10 opening to the 2005-6 season.
17 This seasons worst three points percentage shooting by the team. Only Abercrombie twice and Wilkinson once connected from deep out of a combined 18 attempts.
37 The lowest percentage shooting form the field in 2013 (23/63) won’t cut the mustard in any game let alone against the table-topping Wildcats.
71 The number of points Perth was restricted to. The excellent defensive effort by the Breakers was countered by a lack of offensive firepower. Special mention to Abercrombie and Webster who kept Wildcats imports Ennis and Beal in check for most of the game.
221 The number of games played for the Breakers by Mika Vukona. Now only Paul Henare (250 games) has made more appearances for the club. Once again he was the Breakers best, leading the scoring with 16 points and adding 7 rebounds.
7597 Breakers fans are voting with their feet. Only 3,200 turned out at NSEC two weeks ago, it seems Vector Arena is now the preferred option for the bulk of the fans.
