Date: June 8, 2025
An interesting game took place in Auckland where 6th ranked Tauranga (8-8) was upset on the court of ninth ranked Tuatara (8-7) 78-59 on Sunday. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Tauranga. American guard Luther Muhammad (191-1999, college: Arizona St.) fired 21 points and 7 assists for the winners. The former international power forward Robert Loe (211-1991, college: St.Louis) chipped in a double-double by scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. Five Tuatara players scored in double figures. Naturalized American swingman Mojave King (196-2002) produced 16 points and 5 rebounds and the former international guard Kruz Perrott-Hunt (191-2000, college: S.Dakota) added 12 points respectively for lost side. Tuatara moved-up to sixth place. Loser Tauranga dropped to the seventh position with eight games lost. They share it with Sharks. Tuatara will meet league's second-placed Saints in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Whai will play against the league's leader Rams (#1) in Christchurch and hope to secure a win.
