Regular Season Round 4: Saints - Tuatara 90-82

Date: April 27, 2026
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Tuatara (4-1) in Wellington on Monday night. Visitors were defeated by sixth ranked Saints (3-2) 90-82. Saints made 24-of-29 free shots (82.8 percent) during the game. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Elijah Pepper (193-2001, college: UC Davis) who helped to win the game recording 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. International Carlin Davison (197-2003) contributed with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists for the winners. Guard Zach Riley (196-2003, college: Fordham) replied with 28 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international power forward Robert Loe (211-1991, college: St.Louis) added 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the effort for Tuatara. Four Saints and five Tuatara players scored in double figures. Defending champion moved-up to fourth place. Tuatara at the other side dropped to the second position with one game lost. Saints will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Tuatara will play on the road against Hawks in Tamatea and is hoping to win this game.
