Nov 24: New Zealand vs Townsville

yeah kind of cell, he also got fully stripped at halfway for a layup as well but that 3 he hit was the start of the tide starting to turn. Henry was like a mini Vukona coming off the bench and he's not shy to jak up shots either. He played some smart D and made the most of his minutes as Pledger does every week.
Fully agree with the comment about Crawford and Holmes being pissed off at their teams effort, I def would if I was them.

I agree Paul on the Jackson call, love watching him pull down rebounds and strip players at the top and getting his team mates open looks. He is still nursing that ankle injury and at a few points in the game it looked to be troubling him. Jacob Holmes was great, there were a few flashes of the old Holmes with an airball and a few bricks but on the whole he was deadly. A couple of those 3's he hit were contested and difficult shots. Gill looked dangerous all game going at the hole using his speed and strength to get foul calls but didn't really light up the scoreboard and Mimms was hampered by early foul trouble and fouled out in the early stages of the 4th on an Abercrombie drive.
2 Crocs made double figures compared to NZ's 4

Crocs came out on fire and built a huge lead ( up to 21 points at one stage) and Breakers looked shellshocked. Everything dropped for Townsville and nothing dropped for NZ and way to many turnovers. Lemanis tried to mix it up and find a combination that could get it going and even run young Bloxham at the point. CJ played 6mins in total and looked like his knees were hurting. Bout halfway through the second quarter after a couple of servings from Lemanis the Breakers started playing better D and shots started dropping and they clawed their way back into the game. Jackson had a double double (11 points 12 boards, 8 assists, 4 steals) and Corletto had 16 points. Abercrombie scored 19 with 1 block and a couple of steals and Wilkinson got 18. Vukona was pretty quiet and looked like me at the freethrow line going 0/4 and Leon Henry finally got onto the court and played well, 5 points 5 rebounds and plenty of energy.
Jacob Holmes, all I can say is WOW!!!
21 points including 5/5 threes.
Crawford was good and early everyone for the Crocs looked dangerous, until people started guarding them, and stopped the Cocs from skipping down the lane for a layups. The Crocs are playing pretty small due to injuries and it hurt them on the glass and NZ played 6 foot 6 Leon Henry at the 2 for periods with Abercrombie at the 3 and their length worked.
Breakers eventually smashed them on the boards 40/27
88-74 final score
Tigers next for NZ. Lost by three last time but no Mills this time but I don't think it will hurt them as I rate their other guards.
