In what can only be seen an early round of upsets. The New Zealand Breakers have beaten competition favourites Melbourne 120-111.

Tigers star Chris Anstey scored a game high 32 points and but the Breakers had a much better team performance with 4 players posting over 20 points in Kirk Penney, Tony Ronaldson, Oscar Forman and CJ Bruton.

Meanwhile the Townsville Crocs have downed the South Dragons 91-89 at Hisense Arena.

Corey Williams finished with a triple double with a game-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, with 11 of those points coming in the final period when his team needed him most.

Mark Worthington top-scored for the Dragons with 20, Adam Gibson shot 13, Joe Ingles 10, but import duo Tremmell Darden (eight points) and Cortez Groves (two points) failed to flatter.
