Regular Season Round 9: Giants - Nuggets 63-88

Date: May 24, 2026
Not a big story in a game in Nelson where 9th ranked Giants (2-6) were rolled over by fifth ranked Nuggets (5-3) 88-63. Nuggets made 18-of-21 charity shots (85.7 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 25 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Giants' players. Australian-German forward Craig Moller (203-1994, agency: BIG) nailed 20 points and 6 rebounds for the winning side and forward Isaac Miller-Jose (203-1998, college: Manitoba) accounted for 7 points and 12 rebounds. Four Nuggets players scored in double figures. The former international guard Kruz Perrott-Hunt (191-2000, college: S.Dakota) came up with 16 points and 9 rebounds and the former international guard Alexander McNaught (185-2002) added 13 points and 5 rebounds respectively for Giants in the defeat. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Nuggets moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Saints. Giants lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the ninth position with six games lost. They share it with Hawks and Whai. Nuggets will play against league's leader Sharks in Southland in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Giants will play on the road against the league's second-placed Rams (#2) in Christchurch and hope to get back on the winning track.
