Cairns coach Aaron Fearne is relishing the prospect off taking on the New Zealand Breakers and an expectant nation in Friday's NBL grand final decider in Auckland, declaring "bring it on".

While the Breakers have their whole country hoping they can become the first New Zealand team to win a major Australian sporting competition, Fearne stressed Cairns will be playing for their community rather than their country.

The Taipans mentor has heard people saying Cairns are representing Australia, but doesn't buy into that concept heading into the sold-out game three decider.

THE Cairns Taipans were outenthused, outgunned and outplayed by the New Zealand Breakers yesterday.

But coach Aaron Fearne has promised they will fight to square the National Basketball League grand final series at one-all when the teams meet for game two in Cairns on Sunday.

The Taipans were taught a lesson yesterday in Auckland, losing 85-67 after being down by as much as 31 points in the third quarter.

But Fearne has pledged the Taipans will wipe the drubbing aside and fight like never before to keep their title chances alive in three days time.

"We’ll fight hard to protect our home court and we want the fans to continue to show that passion that has been so good all year," he said yesterday.
