'We should have a chip on our shoulder': McCarron ahead of Breakers clash

Adelaide 36ers captain Mitch McCarron said he and his teammates should 'have a chip on their shoulder' as they look to exact revenge on the New Zealand Breakers on the road in his 200th NBL game.

The 36ers suffered a heavy 70-99 loss at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in round five after the Breakers went ballistic in the third quarter.

Speaking to FiveAA's Rowey & Timmy G, McCarron said the boys should be eager to get one back on the Breakers.

"I think we should have a big chip on our shoulder after that, we played well early in the game then they blew us out of the water at home, which we weren't happy with," he said.

"Teams have had no problem winning on the road, the team that's the best on the night will win the game."

The 36ers will be hoping for back-to-back wins for the first time this season following Thursday's win over Melbourne United.

"We needed everyone to be the best they can in their role and give a little bit more at times, we saw (Anthony) Drmic go back to the guy that I know he can be, an aggressive scorer...an energy man," he said.

"I thought we were good, not everyone is going to fire every game, but if we've got guys contributing in lots of different areas and through different periods throughout the season guys will shine on the scoreboard...that's better for us as a team and we're a lot harder to defend that way."
