Regular Season Round 4: Airs - Bulls 91-90

Date: April 27, 2026
Very expected game when 9th ranked Bulls (2-3) were edged by fifth ranked Airs (3-3) in New Plymouth 91-90 on Monday. However just one-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Airs forced 21 Bulls turnovers. Strangely Bulls outrebounded Airs 43-20 including a 31-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. The winners were led by American guard Aaron Cook (188-1997, college: Georgia) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 18 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists and Australian forward Luka Vea (198-2004) supported him with 15 points and 5 assists. Even 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists by American guard Derrin Boyd (190-2000, college: Charleston, agency: One Motive Sports) did not help to save the game for Bulls. His fellow American import guard Jace Carter (198-2003, college: Texas A&M) added 24 points and 9 rebounds for lost side. Five Airs and four Bulls players scored in double figures. Bulls' coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Airs maintains fifth position with 3-3 record. Loser Bulls dropped to the eighth place with three games lost. They share the position with Whai. Airs will meet Giants (#6) in the next round. Bulls will play against Whai in Tauranga and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
