Breakers vs. Wildcats - Thursday 27th
It was a pretty good game tonight on Maori TV, with the Breakers taking over in the 4th for the win.
Rickert, Oscar, CJ and Philll were all great for NZ while Hinson and Victor carried Perth.
Interesting comment from Perth coach Conner Henry after the game:
"I just didn't expect CJ to show us up like that, that's my only complaint."
-this after CJ clapped and pumped up the crowd for 20 seconds (while travelling) on the last possesion until Victor came in for the steal and stopped it.
I really didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he was merely celebrating the win with the crowd, which had been very supportive throughout the game. It's far better than trying to score with a last shot. I didn't see it as 'showing up' his opponent at all.
It might've just been the emotion getting to Henry after a pretty firey game.
Commentry line of the night:
"Ruckert can handle a rod, that's for sure"
Honourable mention to Peter Crawford for giving away 7 fouls on the night... yes, seven.
