Melbourne United have had a horror couple of days by losing to the Adelaide 36er’s in Adelaide on Friday night 90 to 77 and then losing today to New Zealand Breakers 92 to 87 at Hisense Arena.

United fouled ten times in the last period in a bid to stop the Breakers with McRae, Kickert and Barlow being fouled out of the game in the late stages, even with the fouls United briefly snatched the lead in the final minute before New Zealand got away to record the five point win.

The Sydney Kings will no doubt be thankful to New Zealand for beating United after the Kings blew a chance keep pace with United by losing to Wollongong 82 to 77.
