Regular Season Round 2: Hawks - Jets 102-109

Date: April 17, 2026
There was a small surprise in Tamatea where Jets beat Hawks 109-102 on Friday. Jets outrebounded Hawks 45-31 including 16 on the offensive glass. Jets looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. 28 personal fouls committed by Hawks helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American guard Kaden Sand (198-2001, college: Bushnell) had a double-double by scoring 39 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import power forward Jamal Poplar (204-1996, college: Seward County) chipped in 24 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. Poplar is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Australian swingman Daniel Grida (197-1998) responded with 33 points (!!!) and 7 rebounds and international guard Jackson Ball (191-2008) scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Hawks' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Jets is looking forward to face Tuatara in Auckland in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Hawks will play at home against Rams and will have a slim chance for a victory.
