Hoods knocked down some big threes, while Breakers showed off plenty of new actions that got good looks for a number of different players.<\/p>\n<p>Then, midway through the second quarter, there was a real shift in tempo. Up until that point, Hoods had kept the game close with the score at 29-28, but suddenly the Breakers defensive effort intensified.<\/p>\n<p>Hoods would score just five more points before half-time, while the stops and rebounds allowed the home side to get out on the break. Jordan Spencer got them off and running in transition, finding team-mates with some superb passes that led to wide open layups for Dieterich, New and Ben Baker.<\/p>\n<p>Having wrestled control of the game, Breakers would never look back. The final score would see them as 98-76 winners, with Chase Thompson the leading scorer with 15 points, while Jordan and Baker added 14 each.<\/p>\n<p>Up next for Breakers is the start of the BCB Trophy as COB Rockets come to Bletchley next Saturday for a game that tips off at 17:00.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for that game are available <a href=\"https:\/\/app.fanbaseclub.com\/Fan\/Fixtures\/Index?fanStoreType=Fixtures&amp;clubId=457\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Saturday saw Nottingham Hoods visit Bletchley Leisure Centre as MK Breakers Men played their final pre-season friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":7282,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
