Regular Season Round 1: Sharks - Nuggets 68-95

Date: April 10, 2026
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Sharks in Southland on Friday night. Hosts were rolled over by Nuggets 95-68. Nuggets forced 20 Sharks turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American swingman Buay Tuach (198-1995, college: LMU, agency: Haylett Sports) who helped to win the game recording 28 points and 4 steals (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). His fellow American import center Mikey Henn (202-1997, college: Penn State) contributed with 13 points and 5 assists for the winners. Henn is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Four Nuggets players scored in double figures. The former international power forward Samuel Timmins (211-1997, college: Washington) answered with a double-double by scoring 30 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists (on 13-of-17 shooting from the field) and American point guard Rylan Jones (183-2000, college: Samford) added 20 points in the effort for Sharks. 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 is looking forward to face Giants in Nelson in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Sharks will play on the road against Tuatara in Auckland and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
