Regular Season Round 7: Sharks - Giants 79-89

Date: May 3, 2024
Bottom-ranked Sharks (0-8) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 89-79 loss to seventh ranked Giants (3-5) in Southland on Friday evening. They made 20-of-20 free shots (100 percent !!!) during the game. Giants forced 19 Sharks turnovers. It was a great evening for American forward Theo Akwuba (211-2000, college: Ole Miss) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds. The former international guard Alexander McNaught (185-2002) helped adding 14 points and 5 assists. Giants' coach used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. At the losing side center Callum McRae (216-1999, college: Sacramento St.) responded with a double-double by scoring 21 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists and American guard Caleb Asberry (190-2000, college: OK State) scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Despite that victory Giants went down to eighth position due to points difference. Sharks lost their eighth game in a row. They still close the standings with eight games lost. Giants will meet league's second-placed Saints in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Sharks will play against Airs (#3) in New Plymouth and hope to get finally their first victory.
