The Wildcats got revenge against the Brisbane Bullets for their 21 pont loss before the FIBA break by getting their own blowout win at home by 28. It was a well-rounded performance by Perth, who played to their potential for arguably the first time this season. New Zealand were polar opposites in their first match of round 10, struggling on offence in their big loss to the Hawks.
Offence has escaped the Breakers of late and it will be their downfall in RAC Arena on Sunday as they will fail to keep the pace with the Wildcats who are a whole different identity on their home court.
Expect the Wildcats to keep their rhythm and range and pressure the Breakers early on the scoreboard and skip away with their third win in 4 matches.
- Perth have won their past 5 games at RAC Arena.
- Perth ranks 3rd in the NBL with an average of 91 points per game.

Perth Wildcats Form & Team News
The Wildcats took advantage of their full bid of health going up against the Brisbane Bullets who were missing their two starting bigs Josh Bannan and Tyrell Harrison, on Friday night. The Wildcats had the match wrapped up by the half, up 63-46 at the main break. They found points from all over RAC Arena with 8 players scoring in the double digits in their 117-89 victory.
It was all positive signs for Perth who played arguably their best game of the season as they clinched their fifth straight win at home. The Wildcats spread the ball and most importantly made the right decision in both offence and defence.
Three point shooting needs to be a strength of the Cats and they hit at 45% from deep. With a plethora of three shooters such as Bryce Cotton, Dylan Windler, Elijah Pepper and Ben Henshall, Perth need to find their spacing and utilise their depth from beyond the arc more efficiently night in and night out.
New Zealand Breakers Form & Team News
The Breakers looked all out of sorts in their first match after the FIBA break with the appearance of Tacko Fall in the lineup and the absence of Next Star Karim Lopez, who was managed after an injury concern for the Mexican who flew home from international duties just a few days prior.
New Zealand gave up 32 points in the first quarter to the fast starting Hawks on Thursday and never recovered. The impact of Fall on defence was clear with the former Boston Celtic getting 3 blocks in a 30 sec period in his first stint on the court, however, the offence of the Breakers was disjointed and never found their rhythm often forcing the ball down low in the paint without success.
New Zealand are falling into an offensive slump that has seen them score less than 80 points in their last 3 games and are now ranked 8th in the league, averaging just 83.9 points per game on offence.
