Milton Keynes Breakers make the trip to Nottingham this Sunday as they face Nottingham Hoods – Tip Off is scheduled for 6:15pm at the Motorpoiont Arena.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fans looking to attend can also watch the Superleague Basketball Cup Finals prior to the NBL 1 clash – tickets can be purchased HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The Breakers head into Sunday\u2019s clash off the back of a dramatic win over Bristol Hurricanes. KJ Johnson\u2019s buzzer-beater capped off an incredible 25-point showing from the American as he continued his impressive debut season in England.<\/p>\n

The Hoods slipped to a costly defeat today, going down 87-80 to Newcastle Knights in the North East. The loss serves a costly blow to the Hoods hopes of retaining their place in NBL1 as they currently occupy one of the relegation spots. Despite 23 points from Jun Murdock Jr, the Hoods were unable to overcome a slow first half.<\/p>\n

Murdock Jr has proven to be a great mid-season addition for Nottingham. The British-American guard is leading them in scoring with 19ppg. He is well supported by sharpshooting American Landon Taliaferro with 18.3ppg and big man Greg Skoric with 16.2ppg and 10.2 rpg.<\/p>\n

With the Breakers hopeful of achieving a top four finish and in the process securing a home Play-Off fixture, every game is a must win. Nottingham however are fighting for their Division 1 status and a win on Sunday would go a long way to helping the Hoods achieve that feat.<\/p>\n

Next weekend the Breakers will compete for their first piece of silverware this season in the KitKing Trophy Final. The club are organising a fan bus for the game. All travel and ticket information can be found HERE<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
