Regular Season Round 8: Giants - Hawks 96-102

Date: May 17, 2026
Bottom-ranked Hawks managed to get the second consecutive victory on Sunday night. This time they won against ninth-ranked Giants in Nelson 102-96. And what about a second win in a row after ...five consecutive losses. The winners were led by the former international guard Keanu Rasmussen (188-2003, college: CBU) who scored that evening 39 points (!!!), 6 rebounds and 5 assists and international guard Jackson Ball (191-2008) supported him with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Hawks players scored in double figures. Hawks' coach used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists by the former international guard Kruz Perrott-Hunt (191-2000, college: S.Dakota) did not help to save the game for Giants. Finnish Eemi Luukkonen (203-2002) added 21 points and 8 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) for the hosts. Hawks (2-5) moved-up to ninth place, which they share with Giants and Whai. Giants lost third consecutive game. Hawks will meet higher ranked Bulls (#7) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Giants will play against Nuggets and hope to secure a win.
