Regular Season Round 5: NZL Breakers - SE Melbourne 81-87

Date: October 12, 2025
There was no surprise in Auckland where 10th ranked Breakers (1-5) were defeated by seventh ranked Phoenix (2-1) 87-81 on Sunday. SE Melbourne forced 20 NZL Breakers turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists. The former international guard Owen Foxwell (188-2003) stepped up and scored 19 points and 7 assists for the winners and the former international guard Nathan Sobey (190-1990, college: Wyoming) chipped in 18 points and 7 assists. Five Phoenix players scored in double figures. New Zealand forward Sam Mennenga (206-2001, college: Davidson) responded with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 11 rebounds and American point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright (180-1995, college: Arizona) scored 9 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. SE Melbourne moved-up to fifth place. Loser Breakers stay at the bottom position with five games lost. SE Melbourne will meet league's second-placed Adelaide in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. NZL Breakers will play against Tasmania JJ (#4) and hope to win that game.
