Regular Season Round 4: Saints - Airs 111-89

Date: April 30, 2026
The game in Wellington supposed to be also quite interesting. 5th ranked Airs (3-3) played at the court of sixth ranked Saints (3-2). Saints smashed Airs 111-89 on Thursday. Saints shot 60.8 percent from the field. Saints outrebounded Airs 40-28 including a 35-22 advantage in defensive rebounds. Saints looked well-organized offensively handing out 36 assists comparing to just 20 passes made by Airs' players. The winners were led by American guard Elijah Pepper (193-2001, college: UC Davis) who scored that evening 36 points (!!!), 6 assists and 4 steals and international Carlin Davison (197-2003) supported him with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists. Even 16 points and 8 rebounds by naturalized American forward Marcel Jones (203-1985, college: Oregon St.) did not help to save the game for Airs. American forward Xavier Green (198-1996, college: Maryland, agency: One Motive Sports) added 20 points and 4 assists for lost side. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Defending champion moved-up to fourth place. Loser Airs keep the fifth position with three games lost. Saints will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Airs will play against Giants (#6) in Nelson and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
