Regular Season Round 22: Saints - Whai 103-77

Date: June 21, 2025
No shocking result in a game in Wellington where second ranked Saints (14-4) smashed 9th ranked Tauranga (8-10) 103-77 on Saturday. Saints looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Saints made 8 blocks. The former international forward Jordan Ngatai (198-1993, college: BYU-Hawaii) scored 27 points to lead the charge for the winners and international guard Izayah Leafa (188-1996, college: Sacramento St.) chipped in 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists during the contest. Saints' coach Aaron Young felt very confident that he used 11 players and allowed the starting five to rest. At the losing side the former international power forward Anzac Rissetto (208-2001, college: Charlotte) responded with 24 points and 7 rebounds and forward Sean Murphy (198-2002, college: LCU) scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Saints have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 14-4 record having just one point less than leader Panthers. Whai lost third consecutive game. They keep the ninth place with ten games lost. Saints will meet Hawks (#8) in the next round where they are favorite. Whai will play against Nuggets in Dunedin and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
