Regular Season Round 11: Whai - Giants 69-58

Date: June 6, 2026
The game between closely ranked teams ended with eighth ranked Tauranga's (4-6) home victory over 9th ranked Giants (3-8) 69-58 on Saturday. It was an exceptional evening for the former international swingman Reuben Te Rangi (198-1994) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 23 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. The former international forward Jordan Ngatai (198-1993, college: BYU-Hawaii) accounted for 10 points and 6 rebounds for the winning side. Tauranga's coach used a ten-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) came up with a double-double by scoring 11 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international forward Tohi Smith-Milner (205-1995, college: Polk State CC) added 7 points and 11 rebounds respectively for Giants in the defeat. Whai moved-up to seventh place. Loser Giants keep the ninth position with eight games lost. They share it with Airs. Whai will meet Jets (#8) in the next round. Giants will play against the league's second-placed Sharks and will have a slim chance for a victory.
