    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen's demanding more effort from his players as their playoff hopes in basketball's NBL further diminish

    Breakers coach Petteri Koponen's demanding more effort from his players as their playoff hopes in basketball's NBL further diminish


    They've slumped to a third straight loss - suffering a 14-point defeat to a Brisbane side who were on a seven-game losing streak.

    Koponen says a key component was distinctly lacking.



    The Breakers sit down in seventh - now with 13 losses from 20 games this season.
