Regular Season Round 12: Tuatara - Saints 96-88

Date: June 14, 2026
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Tuatara as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Tuatara defeated 4th ranked Saints in Auckland 96-88. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Saints. Tuatara made 17-of-22 free shots (77.3 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Zach Riley (196-2003, college: Fordham) who helped to win the game recording 26 points and 7 rebounds (went 9 for 9 at the free throw line !!!) and ex-international power forward Robert Loe (211-1991, college: St.Louis) who added 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists during the contest. The best for the losing side was Australian forward Akech Aliir (204-2000) with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 11 rebounds and international Carlin Davison (197-2003) scored 15 points and 5 assists. Four Tuatara and five Saints players scored in double figures. Tuatara (11-2) have an impressive six-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Sharks. Defending champion Saints keep the fourth place with four games lost. Saints will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest in order to get back on the winning path. Tuatara will try to continue on its current victory against eleventh ranked Hawks in Tamatea.
