Date: January 30, 2026
The most exciting game of round 29 in the NBL took place in Auckland. This derby game ended with only two-point defeat on the road of 4th placed United (18-11) to seventh ranked Breakers (11-17) 97-95 on Friday evening. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of United. NZL Breakers made 19-of-25 free shots (76.0 percent) during the game. The best player for the winners was Mexican swingman Karim Lopez (202-2007) who scored 32 points and 8 rebounds (on 11-of-13 shooting from the field). American point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright (180-1995, college: Arizona) chipped in 23 points. Dutch center Jesse Edwards (211-2000, college: WVU) produced a double-double by scoring 23 points and 14 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field) and American Milton Doyle (193-1993, college: Loyola, IL) added 10 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists respectively for the guests. Four NZL Breakers and five Melbourne Utd players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. NZL Breakers maintains seventh place with 11-17 record. Melbourne Utd at the other side keeps the fourth position with 11 games lost. They share it with Perth. NZL Breakers are looking forward to face higher ranked Tasmania JJ (#6) in Hobart in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Melbourne Utd will have a break next round.
