Basketball: Lemanis feeling the heat

New Zealand Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis has identified a number of reasons for the club's precarious position in the Australian basketball league.

The Breakers sit second to bottom on the competition ladder and need to win five of their last six games to make the playoffs.

Lemanis says they have lost their confidence a little bit and that is a result of several factors.

"We have had a lot of injuries and disruption - we've lost a few close games and some of that can snowball onto itself".

The Breakers host the Adelaide 36ers on Thursday before heading across the Tasman to face the Gold Coast Blaze.
