Regular Season Round 2: Whai - Airs 87-65

Date: April 18, 2026
The most important game of round 2 took place in Tauranga where Tauranga crushed Airs 87-65 on Saturday night. Whai made 20-of-22 free shots (90.9 percent) during the game. Whai outrebounded Airs 39-21 including a 33-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Guard Xanda Marsters (188-2006) scored 24 points and 8 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and the former international guard Taine Murray (196-2002, college: Virginia) chipped in 22 points and 9 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) during the contest. Four Tauranga players scored in double figures. Tauranga's coach felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Aaron Cook (188-1997, college: Georgia) responded with 12 points and 9 assists and naturalized American forward Marcel Jones (203-1985, college: Oregon St.) scored 13 points and 6 rebounds. Airs will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest. Tauranga will try to continue on its current victory against Nuggets in Dunedin.
