Regular Season Round 16: Whai - Saints 82-78

Date: May 23, 2025
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Saints (10-4) against ninth ranked Tauranga (6-7) on Friday night. Visiting Saints were defeated by Tauranga in a tough game in Tauranga 78-82. Tauranga brought some defensive toughness making 7 blocks. The winners were led by naturalized American swingman Mojave King (196-2002) who scored that evening 29 points and 6 rebounds and the former international guard Kruz Perrott-Hunt (191-2000, college: S.Dakota) supported him with 14 points and 4 assists. Even a double-double of 22 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks by American center Nick Muszynski (211-1998, college: Belmont) did not help to save the game for Saints. International guard Izayah Leafa (188-1996, college: Sacramento St.) added 17 points and 11 assists for lost side. Five Saints players scored in double figures. Whai moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Sharks and Tuatara. Saints at the other side keep the second position with four games lost. Whai will play against higher ranked Bulls (#6) in Pukekohe in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Saints will play at home against Nuggets (#11) and hope to get back on the winning track.
