The former international power forward Samuel Timmins (211-1997, college: Washington) responded with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 16 rebounds and American point guard Rylan Jones (183-2000, college: Samford) scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Tuatara is looking forward to face Jets in Palmerston North in the next round where they are favorite. Sharks will have a break next round.
