Parker Jackson-Cartwright has piloted the Breakers to a crucial overtime win against mid-table NBL rivals Tasmania JackJumpers to snap a three-game losing streak. But Breakers guard Jackson-Cartwright (17 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, four steals) stayed calm and forward Sam Mennenga (20 points, seven rebounds) had six quick points to begin the extra period in a victory that ensured they didn't fall three wins behind the sixth-placed JackJumpers. The visitors scored the game's first seven points and led by as many as 10, before 100-game milestone man Nick Marshall led the response for the JackJumpers. JackJumpers coach Scott Roth couldn't put a finger on why his side had struggled against the Breakers this season. "Some crazy turnovers - unforced, self-inflicted wounds - and we fell in love with the three-point line and didn't attack the rim enough.
