Regular Season Round 10: Airs - Jets 77-89

Date: May 29, 2026
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in New Plymouth where eighth ranked Jets (4-7) defeated 7th ranked Airs (3-7) 89-77. Jets had a 33-20 advantage in offensive rebounds. Airs were plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of American power forward Jamal Poplar (204-1996, college: Seward County) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 23 points and 14 rebounds. The former international guard Tai Webster (193-1995, college: Nebraska) contributed with 16 points and 6 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners. Poplar is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Four Jets players scored in double figures. Power forward James Moors (208-2000, college: Colorado St.) replied with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds and American guard Aaron Cook (188-1997, college: Georgia) added 13 points, 11 assists and 4 steals in the effort for Airs. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Jets moved-up to seventh place. Airs lost sixth consecutive game. They dropped to the ninth position with seven games lost. Jets will play against higher ranked Saints (#4) in Wellington in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Airs will play at home against Tuatara (#3) and hope to get back on the winning track.
