Regular Season Round 4: Nuggets - Jets 99-96

Date: May 1, 2026
Important game to mention about took place in Dunedin. Top-ranked Nuggets (4-0) saved a 3-point victory at home edging 10th ranked Jets (1-4) 99-96 on Friday evening. Host team only slightly avoided a big embarassment. Jets were plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of Haitian-Canadian guard Alain Louis (185-1998, college: Carleton) who helped to win the game recording 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists and the former international swingman Ethan Rusbatch (196-1992, college: Lincoln Trail) who added 23 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Four Nuggets players scored in double figures. At the losing side American guard Kaden Sand (198-2001, college: Bushnell) responded with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists and his fellow American import power forward Jamal Poplar (204-1996, college: Seward County) produced a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jets' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Nuggets have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 4-0 record. Jets at the other side keep the tenth place with four games lost. Nuggets will play against Rams (#3) in Christchurch in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Jets will play on the road against Sharks (#7) in Southland to get more than just one victory in their record.
