Regular Season Round 23: Giants - Tuatara 104-85

Date: June 25, 2025
Worth to mention about the upset in a game between Tuatara (10-10) and Giants (8-11), which took place in Nelson. 7th ranked Tuatara was outleveled in a road game by tenth ranked Giants 104-85 on Wednesday. Giants shot the lights out from three sinking 12 long-distance shots on high 52.2 percentage. It was an exceptional evening for American power forward Jeremy Combs (201-1995, college: Texas Southern) who led the winners and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists (on 12-of-15 shooting from the field). His fellow American import guard Andrew Jones (193-1997, college: Texas) accounted for 20 points for the winning side. Five Giants players scored in double figures. The former international forward Thomas Vodanovich (201-1994, college: JMU) came up with 23 points and 9 rebounds and American guard Luther Muhammad (191-1999, college: Arizona St.) added 19 points and 9 assists respectively for Tuatara in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Giants have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain tenth place with 8-11 record. Tuatara lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the sixth position with ten games lost. They share it with Bulls. Giants will meet at home higher ranked Sharks (#3) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Tuatara's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Auckland to the arena Panthers.
