By Niall AndersonNew Zealand Breakers 100 Illawarra Hawks 85The David Stockton era is off to a promising start as the New Zealand Breakers continue to build their title contending credentials. A 100-85 dismantling of the Illawarra Hawks follows their impressive road win in Perth, moving Paul Henare's side to 6-4 on the season. His long-awaited debut was delayed slightly further, introduced off the bench as Corey Webster handled the starting point guard duties.
