MK Breakers enjoyed a mix weekend of results as they started their NBL Division 2 campaign in fashion on Saturday night, before facing off against old rivals Hemel Storm on the following evening.
MK Breakers began their NBL Division 2 campaign in resounding fashion as they overcame Richmond Knights 103-73 on Saturday evening.
Having earned promotion last season, the Breakers would make their debut league outing against Richmond Knights – who placed fifth in NBL Division 2 last year.
Jordan Spencer was once again impressive as his 15 points, seven rebounds and nine assists set Breakers up for an impressive win over the Knights.
Luke Gregory (14), Chris Tawiah (14), Andre Arissol (13) and Leon Henry (11) were all impressive with their scoring, while Blayne Freckleton was impressive in his season debut.
Speaking after the win, Head Coach Billy Beddow noted his delight with his sides performance, but was also quick to highlight there is still a lot to be improved upon.
“I was pleased with today's performance. It’s early in the season so we all know we have a lot more to give and to improve on, but to start things off like that is a good sign of what is to come.
“Having bench points is such a game changer for us. Chris was dominant this evening and Leon was able to help settle us at times! It also helps us on these double header weekends to keep guys fresh and rotate everyone.”
Attention then turned to Sunday and the KitKing Trophy as MK Breakers travelled South to face Hemel Storm.
The Storm was the only team to beat Breakers last season as the two sides went head-to-head in the Semi-Final of the National Cup. Despite two two tier difference, Breakers lost 91-91.
It was another impressive showing from Breakers against last season NBL Division 1 Champions, but it would be the hosts who would come out on top.
Jordan Spencer (25) led the scoring to the Breakers, with Blayne Freckleton (23), Andre Arissol (16) and Mike New Jr (11) all hitting double figures.
The games keep coming thick and fast for Beddow's side as they are back in action at Bletchley Leisure Centre this weekend for another double-header.
Saturday (5pm) sees Team Solent Kestrels travel to Milton Keynes, before on Sunday (5pm) Essex Charge are the visitors.
