The New Zealand Breakers coach Andrej Lemanis says his side will have to come out firing from the outset when they meet the Cairns Taipans in their Australian National Basketball clash tomorrow night.

The Breakers held their position at the top of the ANBL with an inspiring 71-66 comeback win over the Adelaide 36ers in Adelaide on Friday night.

Lemanis says he is proud of the way his side fought back, after trailing 49-28 at halftime, and says they have to come out with the same punch in Cairns tomorrow night.
