SE Melbourne Phoenix vs NZ Breakers match preview

The South East Melbourne Phoenix and New Zealand Breakers collide in an anticipated NBL matchup following recent contrasting performances.

The Phoenix enter the match on a two-game losing streak, with close defeats against Adelaide and Melbourne. Despite their 6-6 record, concerns linger about the team’s ability to close out games. Star player Alan Williams, a top MVP candidate, faces scrutiny for frequent fouls, impacting critical moments in recent matches. If Williams can avoid foul trouble against a Breakers team weaker at the centre position, he could dominate.

New Zealand, coming off a 96-83 win over Adelaide, demonstrated offensive prowess with a 37-point first quarter. Head coach Mody Maor, ejected during the game, praised Mangok Mathiang for his defensive contributions and screens. The Breakers, currently 7th in the league, hope to capitalise on the Phoenix’s recent struggles and build on Mathiang’s potential breakout performances.
