Regular Season Round 2: Nuggets - Giants 86-77

Date: April 15, 2026
Very predictable result in Dunedin where Nuggets defeated Giants 86-77 on Wednesday. 24 personal fouls committed by Giants helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American swingman Buay Tuach (198-1995, college: LMU, agency: Haylett Sports) scored 21 points and 7 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Haitian-Canadian guard Alain Louis (185-1998, college: Carleton) chipped in 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists during the contest. Four Nuggets players scored in double figures. Nuggets' coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The former international guard Kruz Perrott-Hunt (191-2000, college: S.Dakota) responded with 26 points and 9 rebounds and the former international forward Tohi Smith-Milner (205-1995, college: Polk State CC) produced a double-double by scoring 23 points and 10 rebounds. Nuggets is looking forward to face Whai in Tauranga in the next round. Giants will play at home against Saints and are hoping to prove to their fans that this time they can win.
