Breakers claim NBL title - Apr 29, 2011 The path hasn't been without its potholes, but the New Zealand Breakers achieved New Zealand sporting history with a 71-53 win over Cairns Taipans in the third and deciding game of the iiNet NBL Championship at North Shore Events Centre on Friday. Top of the table during much of the league's regular season, the Breakers had to come back from the brink of defeat against the Perth Wildcats in the semi-finals and had the title almost snatched from their grasp in Game Two of the final series in Cairns over Easter. But they made no mistake in the decider back on their home floor, becoming the first team from across the Tasman to capture an Australian national league title in any sport. In another tough, grinding encounter, New Zealand never trailed, grabbing an early double-digit lead and finally taking full control with a 16-4 run in the third quarter. Consecutive three-pointers from CJ Bruton (188-G-75, college: Indian Hills CC) midway through the fourth period finally sealed the title. Bruton led his team's scoring with 14 points, while naturalized American Dusty Rychart (201-F-79, agency: Priority Sports, college: Minnesota) matched that contribution for Cairns.
