cleared out how good are they yeah this giant the Giants rapid League squad has been very impressive a lot of young Talent developing down there in Nelson and they’ve come out and showing out all season all about 9 V10 tonight so a good chance for both of these teams to build some confidence a lot of Young Guns running around in the Sky Broadband rapidly what a fantastic Innovation it has been this season let’s have a look at the starters for this one tonight by on the road they’re on the southern swing of course they take on the Sharks before hting a little bit further north to take on the nuggets on Sunday afternoon this is how they’ll start bouer Thompson heck Masters and Lewis speaking of so many young players they are packed with plenty they cly Toto leis has really been outstanding this season and I’ve also really liked the look of Masters who I had the pleasure of watching last year at the Steven Adams um showcase he’s been really impressive as well for me should just say wearing the number eight is AA MC Bernie Griffin so he’s in wearing the number eight let’s have a look at the Sharks how they will line up tonight for the Sky Broadband rapid league in their familiar orange Scotty t for Ben Hall Miki Gia Roy snow and Connor Cole that’s the lineup the Chemist Warehouse head-to-head the all important tale of the tape let’s bring it up for you now so we can have a look at how these two line up don’t worry about it because the Bulls aren’t playing the ears Crystal it’s all about it’s going to be a night of surprises there you go just like that hey some good matchups here Conor Cole jet Thompson both playing big minutes I’m looking forward to Ben Hall and toou Lewis yeah Ben Hall the leading Point scorer for the Sharks has been really impressive impressive he also contributes a lot in the main game so it’ll be good to see him get going early in this one and obviously we’ve seen and spoken about t Lewis and how dangerous he is on the offensive end as well speaking of the Bulls and the a that’s coming up Sunday night what a game that’ll be yeah that’s super intriguing obviously the ears are missing a few key players so we’ll see how that matchup goes down coin officials for this one Brad Clive ran Ashley and Leo Shaw Sky Broadband rapid League about to tip off love some Friday night hoops and we’re coming to you from ilt Stadium Southland tonight the fire in the pink will get us underway in fact we’ll get a whistle and we’ll get a stop and we’ll get a reset on the clock short and sharp great reset that start again it’s like the red green light entering the freeway isn’t it just when you speed up and you think you’re going to get onto the uh three lane Highway you’ve got to stop all of a sudden right pych gotcha rodo here we go let’s see what the f can do this time jet Thompson here toy Lewis what a season he’s had MC Bernie Griffin great to see him back in Altera gets the first shot it’s a miss and here come the Sharks I like that they went to AA early obviously he’s just come into the Spy Squad and still trying to find his feet amongst this team and in this league had 12 points last week MC Bernie Griffin jet Thompson with the good hands he’s going to go all the way off the glass keeps it short five will get it back on the Baseline good defense to meet him outside that charge Circle and just wall up making that a tough shot here is AA MC Bernie Griffin big young lad couple of Misses early for him but as you said I like the look and if they’re going to keep going to him it’s only a matter of time before he starts putting them down yeah we know he can compete in this league played for the Nuggets a few years ago and been over at College working on his game t with the shot sharks will go again good rebound Masters he gets on the Move now he’s had some breakout games this season as well Boucher keeps it alive with a handy rebound to Tui Lewis on the drive there we go first points of the night yeah just got that one to roll in but going back to Masters yeah he has been very impressive he’s got to be one of the best high school players out there right now and no surprise that he can compete in this league as well here’s con of Cole down low draws the foul he’s off to the Chemist Warehouse first Trick Tonight sharks I think we’ll take a little bit of confidence confidence into tonight’s fixtures 3 and 12 on the rapid League ladder sitting in 10th five just above them in ninth four wins 11 losses just the win one uh one win I should say for the Sharks this year in the Cs NBL that came a couple of weeks ago mind you it was over the Nuggets those wins are usually worth about four little bit of rivalry down south right and they got a trophy for that win so that was a little competition in the competition some I like your thinking on what is it a one and4 season still walk away with a cup to T Lewis nice little pass underneath lot of contact there on AA whistle gone and he’ll pay a trip to the Chemist Warehouse tatos is just Relentless getting himself into the paint if he’s not going to take that three ball which we know he can he’s just so good at getting two feet in the paint and making something good have been either getting a shot for himself or as we see there a great little dish off to AA so we’ll get that score ticker fixed up we can tell you that it’s actually Tonga the fire on three points at the moment sharks are yet to score so just reverse your thinking as you’re looking at the screen to tonight and it’s four zip now to the F Andrew wheeler played his 100th game in the salers NBL few weeks ago Webster firing away can’t put that down shark still looking for their first points of the night to Thompson he’s been a handy play of this season so to to tuy Lewis that’s what he does so well Crystal yeah man when he gets it going from the outside and he gets heat it up he does get hot you can’t leave him open so we see the Sharks try to respond but no luck but yeah when to L hits up yeah just can’t do much seven-point lead to the five 7 nil is the score Midway through this first quarter to tuy Lewis bouncing around like a pinball he’ll head to the colored strip now to extend this leag good start tonight for the team in pink on this Southern swing of course out by seven early yeah great start they’ll want to get these games you know get an early lead try in these games quick because as you mentioned they are on the southern swing they do have to go in a couple days to face the nuggets and it is a tough road trip going almost backto back games against two tough teams and two teams that they’ll really be looking to beat to give themsel a chance in the playoff no doubt the sharks have looked at times a different team here on their home floor as you would expect it hasn’t been the best of seasons for the team in Orange just got a feeling though on with you tonight Crystal I think we’re going to see something special from the Sharks this evening Sal’s NBL still to come right now Sky Broadband rapid leag in the hands of Andrew wheeler on the drive Scoops it out to up nowhere to go that would be a miracle shot if it hadn’t gone down they get it back that would have been very impressive probably should have taken that three earlier great shot there from Carter Hopey and that foul just on to to a little bit too much youve just joined us we’re just doing some running repairs to the score ticker V lead this one 10 zip at the moment been a great start pretty handy when a player like Carter H boy who’s called for the foul here the big fella who’s got a huge wingspan when he can step out and hit a three pretty handy yeah pretty handy and tough to guard I mean we’ve seen him get up and have some really impressive dunks but you’re right when you have a big man that can do it from the inside and outside it’s hard to keep track and as is the case with so many players this season in the Sky Broadband rapid League hoo is just another one who surely would have a lot of us colleges looking at him right now oh no doubt he’s definitely got some big opportunities coming his way but I think yeah we’ve seen it right across the league I mean you look at Rob low toi Smith Milner with the Saints they’re big men that can you know get it done inside and can back their players down but Al step out and hit that three and it’s so scary cuz they can just get it done over anyone and that’s a great block just the fact that we’re seeing these young guys not only here in the scoreboard band rapid league but they then get to play Sal’s NBL and go up against some of those stars that you talk about here he is right on Q the man we’re talking about kind of H boy with another two and the fire clearing this one out the Sharks need a player timeout just to try and address some of the issues that they’re having at both ends of the floor right now by out by 11 I believe it is it’s been a very solemn quarter for the Sharks not a lot going their way can they get something out of this player timeout clock counting down on the buzzer that doesn’t doesn’t go down so quarter time here one down in the Sky Broadband rapid League we’ll get a score update for you in a moment 13-2 we can see it there right on screen 13-2 the fire are leading and very impressive in that opening quarter chrisal very impressive and very unimpressive from the Sharks to only put up two points in that whole quarter that’s definitely something that they’ll be wanting to address in this quarter time break they need to find some way to score and they need to do it quick because otherwise this game is going to be very ugly for them Chemist Warehouse stats to to Lewis game high seven points right now has not missed a shot four of eight shooting for the five one of eight for the Sharks rebound count the way of the fight 7-5 that is reflected on the scoreboard as well 13-2 start for the fight tonight all of the stats with thanks to Chemist Warehouse what do you think the Sharks will be talking about at the moment offense offense offense they need to find some hopefully they have some sets that they can go to draw up and get themselves Some solid looks because yeah they need to get some points on the board so they’ll get a start here in the second quarter fire out by 11 points great start for them tonight let’s see if the sharks can eat into this lead wheeler to bring it in Riley snow providing some cover wheeler trying to lift his team right now off the glass gets it to go and that’s just the start they needed that is he has a lot of Pride playing for the Sharks team this is their last home game he will want to try and get them this win Bernie Griffin turnover straight into the hands of Riley snow had a good game against the F earlier this season in the rapid League Riley snow nine points and eight rebounds Gia on the drive Boucher now greenel fires from deep that one straight down and the lead extends he is a shooter I watched him play some three on three ball earlier this year and he can take over this fighting just has so many guards that can shoot it from Deep get to the rim and with the addition of AA it really makes them hard to guard they kind of have both the inside and outside game covered when they met previously this season the F got the win 41- 30 Scotty taler tangled up he’ll head to the Chemist Warehouse they lead 16 to4 if you’re just joining us we do apologize score ticket not up on the screen at the moment just working with some brins in the background but we can tell you the five are on fire the fire are fired up man they have come out shooting the ball great not just the guards but also the bigs they getting it done right now but I like how tala plays he has some offensive fire when he gets going as well 50 game player with the taranaki SS before heading down to Southland to play with the shark 166 the score by Leading by 10 po boy looking dangerous isn’t he draws contact he’ll head back to the stripe he’s already hit a couple from there tonight Carter hooy nice Baseline spin gets up strong he’s a hard tough Prospect to stop I like that the fight are really going to those mismatches early they’re getting it into the bigs when they have a little guard on them and they are really exposing the defense if they’re not having strong drives like we just saw just then on the smaller players they’re finding their guards out wide for the three ball 176 fire leading H boy makes it 186 and he’s a perfect four of four from the Chemist Warehouse tonight sharks have to get busy tala elected to give up the shot hard pass for Roy snow back there not sure what he was going to be able to do with it deep under the backboard yeah hard pass but I like the aggression to get himself into the paint Tela inside looking to snow again that doesn’t go down sharks are actually the masters of being involved in close games in the Sky Broadband rapid League their last four games lost to the a by five last week defeated the Hawks by three before that lost to the Bulls by two lost to the Nuggets by two oh those are tough it is tough to lose these games two they’ve been in some Thrillers haven’t they there’s bodies flying around everywhere at the moment the whistles were put away by the co officials for a very very long patch of that but in the end one has been plucked how did you see that yeah that was a lot of messy play but the shark stuck with it a lot of the scramble ball right there but worked out for the Sharks as they end up on the king Warehouse free throw line kronicle has been one of their leading players this season in the rapid League back from injury hits the second 188 is the score F lead at by 10 just hovering around this double digit margin at the moment oh boy nowhere to go Thompson creative as always to two Lewis steps around tala sends it back to Thompson on the wing gee they’ve been good from downtown tonight the fire they take it out to a 21 to8 lead yeah man can they shoot you can’t help off your players if you’re the Sharks because the fire are making them pay right now a perfect three of three from Beyond The Arc as well Thompson again inside outside MC ber Griff and head down trying to get past royy snow battle Boucher just like the old manoy from distance again this one off to the left great hustle from beler to keep that ball alive he knew he could have pulled that rebound down but just has the IQ to keep it alive by smacking it out to one of his teammates I know former cells NBL tall black star Breakers star Dylan bouer he’ll be sitting on the couch watching tonight in or he would have been pretty happy with that from Young Jaden wouldn’t he oh yeah that would have been flashback memories for him I’m sure 218 score ticker back on screen for you now and it has been a really good opening half tonight com the Tonga F 34.4 to play in this second water crowd continuing to come in we’ve seen great crowds turning up early for the Sky Broadband rapid League up and down the country I was in Nelson last round I think it was a Thursday night for memory they all tend to become a little bit of a blur after a while Crystal uh but the crowd early for the Sky Broadband rapid league for the Giants was amazing yeah well makes sense doesn’t it I mean you have most of your local players competing at this rapid League level so you want to come in and you want to see them compete against you know of similar level and then stay around and watch them compete in that main game against some imported talent and some world class Talent at that oh my God boy what a first half from him another triple wow he is a talent isn’t he yeah and getting it done on both ends playing great defense there unfortunately just got called for that foul but had some good blocks as really long he’s really mobile for a big man obviously can shoot it can get to the rim playay off the dribble yeah just really mobile up and down the floor as well where do you see a good landing spot for someone like Carter in the states I mean he’s he’s going to have a lot of different opportunities put in front of him but maybe some advice from someone who’s been there before yeah I mean I’m sure there’s a lot of schools out there I’d say probably somewhere on the west coast they tend to be you know player fter game be more guard driven where they get up and down the floor but I’m sure a lot of schools would be dying to have someone like him on their roster and yeah having this you know Pro level experience as well is invaluable especially when you’re going up against that talent in the states I’ll tell you what I do like on a Friday night and a Saturday and a Sunday and usually Monday to Thursday as well what about some free fuel thanks to wo fantastic supporters of basketball and there is some free moer up for grab spin the wheel there’s the QR code you know what to do get your phone

hookups oh there we go you’re D seconds back underway to T Lewis oh look at Carter H boy getting up wow big man dominating the opening half tonight Carter hooy with the highlights and he opens it up by 14 at half time I like this kid yeah he is so impressive him and tou have gone to work early in this game they have totally led the toong ofi out to a very impressive start yeah they are getting it going for the fire early in this one I think when you’re on the road it’s always a good chance isn’t it just a gel spend some time together meals together yeah it is I mean all the little team bonding stuff getting that team chemistry and you know f is a new team this season they’re doing all of those little things really trying to build their culture build their franchise up so yeah these road trips are a great time to do all those intangible little things Chemist Warehouse stats to Half Time car hopy leading the way 11 points for the young big man what an opening half for him toou Lewis has seven points they’re the leading scorers for the F for the Sharks SL pickings it’s been a hard one hasn’t it CIA has got four points you can see there on the Chemist Warehouse stats look at that spread though to the F all getting amongst it early but kind of H boy definitely the start oh yeah he is the stand out right now in this game we’ve spoken about it he can do it all he’s showing us that he can do it all as we look at the rebounds we see beler going to work on the glass he is one of those players that just fills the gaps for you he’s invaluable to this SP team as well and to to lais just being unselfish we saw it with that last play gave it up to C hope boy to have that slam dunk and steals one a piece per team results so far round 13 Sky Broadband rapid League the nuggets on Wednesday night on the road it took down theara 26 to6 that was a real armrest lowc scoring game and then last night the Hawks got up over the Saints the Hawks have been trying to find a little bit of form they were very good early in the season the Saints had been on a bit of a roll but the Haws got the win 33 to 28 and nice one for them at home and of course there’s a fair bit to play out for in the rapid League the points for and against go over onto your team in the cells NBL so really important you keep scoring and keep the opposition from scoring but also a bit of prize money up for grabs as well oh I didn’t know about that what is the deal you do do now I’m not sure that I’m allowed to give away the totals other than to say I think it’s pretty good so does the whoever wins the rapid League their team gets a little bit of prize money is it for individual Awards or how does that all work I think it goes all the way down the ladder so it Cascade so depending on where you finish depends on how much muler you pick up I’m probably going to get in trouble for telling everyone that by the way please if you’re out there you don’t know anything right you haven’t heard anything oh no that is exciting and that’s a great opportunity for these players know playing in this rapid Le something to change Series yeah for sure hope my phone will start ringing in a minute aoui Lewis good start for the F in this second half out by 16 jeez he’s exciting isn’t he to Lewis look at him get after it straight away yeah he is very exciting I know that he is some of our commentator favorite player oh yeah he’s he some of the skort commentators Le he’s just so exciting to watch cuz he goes so hard as we see both ends just really Relentless work ethic great little screen there by vouer to force that mismatch just get the Sharks out of rotation a chance to go again shot clock at 10 here he is H boy underneath Boucher took a body sends it out jet Thompson’s going to have to let fly from Deep back of the eye do they get it again they do and once again beler just getting his hands on the ball he really has a knack being in the right spot at the right time toou Lewis has been called for a trouble so that won’t count but man if that wasn’t a trouble that looked pretty you were mentioning before we came on air tonight that sister chariss is headed back to the States UCLA yep yep back to LA some warm weather I’m very jealous I know you will be when you head down to denan later this week what are you trying to say cold down there at the moment I actually visited the UCLA campus a couple of times over the years GE it’s an impressive place got its own post code I believe kind of cold there for two oh man don’t post code can you believe that no I that is a very random fact that I did not know whistle gone here I think the points are going to be good here for jet Thompson they are so points are good opportunity at the three-point play from the Chemist Warehouse jet Thompson likes the look of the Sharks he likes his matchups versus them last time they played in the main game he had 14 points so he’ll be looking to get himself warmed up for that game as well as getting his team going for this one business tonight don’t they 31 to4 pass right on the money first of all by Scot Tela it ends up with Conor Co storing two maybe the play of the night so far for the Sharks yeah beautiful ball movement from them great hands great teamwork to get that bucket T Lewis calling for movement Thompson greens getting after it picked up by wheeler Ben Hall Scoops it up Scoops it in leading scorer this season for the sharks in the Sky Broadband rapid League Ben Hall that’s his opening points of this game believe it or not yeah not the toughest shot did that all with one hand can get going speaking of get going to Tui Lewis oh beautiful move beautiful footwork made no mistake there and his shot is just on tonight is in the double digits tful with another hot pass oh Big Block coming across Boucher definitely saved a certain basket there Jaden Boucher that was impressive great read great cover to come over for that one he deserves a break he strikes me as the sort of player that doesn’t like taking breaks you know I doubt it I’m sure he would go and go all game best break you can get right now is some free fuel with thanks to whiteo we’ll bring that QR code back up for you in a moment so you get the chance to scan it and you can go in and spin and win some free fuel stick with us get your phones ready masters from Deep Griff nice little hand there they go again they’re dominating the boards Tas a little bit too hot sharks will come up with it I like how the f are running their sets and getting through it and it’s just really continuous if they don’t get their first option they stick with their play they get into another set and it just looks like good team basketball right now from them 3318 margin at 15 late in the third loose ball kpia searching steps back to his right can go again does CIA is one player for the Sharks team that is just an Energizer he plays with so much energy and heart for the whole game no matter the score and does it in both series I saw it early in the season sometimes when the Sharks were down and their heads were drop he was one player that just kept going and kept Ching tripping away Wellington Bo Miki kpia and that’ll do us for three4 time so margin at 13 with a quarter to play tonight in the Sky Broadband rapid League the fire have dominated this one from the outset they LED 13-2 at quarter time and they’ve won the second quarter although the Sharks did fight back a little bit that quarter to reduce the margin still you’re going have to come up with something special in this last quarter there we go told you to get your phones ready if you’d like some free fuel or a chance to win some free fuel head too via that QR code right now Spin and win have some fun some Moler now free fuel just doesn’t get any better no it doesn’t make sure you scan that QR code and get in on that deal did you know that uh in your car where your little petrol gauge is there’s an arrow that tells you which side the petrol caps on do you know thatst I actually did know that little hack cuz I use it all the time I get yeah super confused and you know don’t like being embarrassed going in and out of whatever carport great to see some of the fans bringing some signs tonight getting some love on sky sport great job staying within the lines as well I like that right I like the little shark’s drawings almost as much as the Shark hard hats that we see here and there we need some Shark hard hats in the sky sport commentary box B again she’s been influential tonight hasn’t he hands it off here to Greens sets the screen for him through hands like the ball movement here from the P really impressive now turning the corner the KE is found he’ll head to the strike just the use of the ball there for the F yeah it’s really impressive how these big men can put the ball on the floor and make things happen for their team quite often we see you know post and big men only going inside and really sticking to their role or just doing one job really well but these guys can do it all they very versatile Bernie Griffin what a championship of course the Sals NBL showdown in 2020 he was with the Nuggets a younger man back then right been to college since then gone away and worked on his game is back to try help his team covered some players the nuggets in 2020 didn’t they Matthew barsley Darcy Knox Josh hon all still playing in the competition now and Hall with the Miss there of course they had Jordan narai that Year Jared Kenny yeah that was a very impressive lineup Boucher deserved some points there he’s done a lot right tonight good defense there as well equal to the task Ben Hall shipping away the sharks aren’t they they are but these rord League games go so fast they need to get some stops if they want to get back in this Oney Griffin with the Miss look who comes up with it can’t finish the Jaden Boucher rebounds as he got tonight down for five at the moment feels like he’s at about 15 right well they need to count all those little tips and things that he gets as well because those really do make a difference stop that that she don’t you greens sends it down for MCB Griffin shot clock at three figure ke is going to have to come up with something special can’t do it in time good defense sharks couple of minutes to play see Bren Inger on the bike over the back warming up he didn’t play against the F last time they met in the Cs n Alonzo Burton was missing from that game as well mind you there’s a few Imports that have gone since then to the Sharks right it’s almost like a new team it’ll be a brand new Scout for the five on the Move nice pass Ben Hall finishes but it was well set up by m rookie caria yeah great heads up play looked like he was RIS up for that shot but just finds his teammate instead Marin of 10 it’s been a tough battle to bring it back to this 134 to play stranger things have happened right 10 points see if the sharks can come up with something here both teams still have their player timeout of course the clock isn’t a friend for the Sharks they’ve got to move quickly Kia wheeler Corner Tela little floater came off a hand Cole underneath we’re back to eight they are they chipping away they need a stop here to get themselves back in it did say they’re the king of the close ones po boy could finish all of that right now yes it goes down big game tonight for Cur HW boy back out to 10 with 104 to play reckon that’ll be enough yeah they’ll need some something very very very special to happen to come away with this win but never say never nice pass through from Wheel speaking of special Conor Cole finishes it’s like the Sharks just came out just a little bit cold they’re just too slow getting into this game cuz they really come out of these last few quarters showing their stuff it’s just looking not like it’s like someone’s just throwing some Burly off the back of the boat bring the Sharks up from the depths just hanging around oh misses that still at eight wheeler gets it back look out this goes down game on game goodness we’re at five look at them oh unlucky I think it’s against wheeler just wrapping his arm around H boy had it then too Crystal I know they needed that that would have been a great play and that’s a tough call you know that call might have gone un whistled earlier in this game but it gets tight and all these little things look at this now Tela and Wheeler Scotty teler and Andrew wheeler are two of the most tenacious pests in defense and they’re up and in right now wheeler one bump getting after it again the fire survive they use the clock time’s on their side shot clock at 12 oh turnover telfa look out some nerves finishes we’re at three one position game they can get a stop here this would be an amazing win if they can get this they’re just playing to keep it here the fight they’ve lost the attack foul called I that’s before any resemblance of a shot yeah good foul they have fouls to give you know slow that one down let’s reset I wonder if this is team fouls is that the third of the quarter on the Sharks they’re just checking that I think surely it wasn’t a shooting F I didn’t think he picked it up yeah no so must have been team fouls it was it was the third team foul we’re not showing that on screen at the moment just waiting for it to tick over on the live stats but that’s what it was first one misses by the way sharks have their player timeout second one misses Conor Cole doesn’t call the player timeout out tend to play they need a miracle oh no Andrew wheeler stepped out of court oh that is tough what a killer tough with 4.6 should they have used their player time out they used one earlier of course but that was in the first half yeah well actually I like when teams you know try to get something and then if they don’t then they call the player timeout I like when you try to go with momentum see what you can get and then if you know you’re in those dying seconds and really need one then call it but yeah if they could have seen that that step out of bounds was coming definitely oh that is so tough sideline never loses you hate that as a player it’s not as if you have eyes in the back of your head but you hate it as a coach you hated it you ha it if you’re a fan 4.6 surely the five will get it from here got a foul yeah Conor C straight onto it missed the last two from the line but this is not not the man that you want to put to the Chemist Warehouse kind of H boy perfect from the strip tonight yeah we’ll see if he can really do it all if he can close out close games if he has ice in his veins here we go H boy oh he’s missed the first look out 13 in the game for him tonight that’s his first Miss from the Chemist Warehouse the nerves and of course the sharks have their player time out they can advance from here with 4 seconds to play yeah we can see tala telling his team you know call the timeout we can also see belel saying should we foul here we go oh it’s down well done Carter hooy Under Pressure ice cold from the Chemist Warehouse yeah that’s tough to do you miss that first one with the game on the line you know takes some deep breaths he gets that second I think that clock will fix itself that score ticket should be 3733 I think let that adjust itself he did miss the first didn’t he miss he did miss the first either way with a margin of four or five the sharks have to come up with something special mind you the margins four and their fou on a m three right and you have been saying it you’ve caught it early a few times already now and they are the Kings proved us wrong kings are the close games might to be pretty special F just need to stay out of it just let him score don’t worry about it just stay out of it burn a little bit of time oh handing there from touille Lewis 1.9 well now just stay out of it just clear out right little bit of pressure on the in down let him throw something up just don’t fail here we go let it go up there we go game is done four-point win tonight for the fire they had a red hot start 13-2 first quarter the Sharks came swimming home with force and they nearly nearly got it they nearly got it if only it wasn’t for that sideline and or if this game could just go a little bit longer but it is the record league for a reason and the five came out showing why they deserve to take this win C hopefully getting it done early for them yeah just did it all over the floor scored from the outside the inside had some great blocks in there Toto Lis was also good contributing for the F we see we saw MC Bernie Griffin getting it done on the glass and Bel who had all the TS and everything house as I said I feel like about 15 rebounds tonight not five yeah no he was the glue man for the spy team and definitely helps them get this win which ended up being almost a one position game so there we go Chemist Warehouse stats that’s the first one down tonight

already down in round 13 look at the Rams the Rams take on the Saints coming up tomorrow that’ll be an absolute Beauty the airs play the Bulls on Sunday night we’re looking at the fire and the Sharks and for me in terms of final six you can see the Giants there in sixth 7- n the fight in ninth 5- 10 the fight are out of it but if they lose tonight I don’t know whether they’re going to make it yeah they definitely won’t want to lose tonight but you know those other three teams that are in that fight for the sixth spot they’re all missing players right now and the f aren’t they you know have their full Squad their chemistry is looking great Al no le tonight no IR Le right but he did join the team late he’s only been with them for a couple so they still have that chemistry that culture going so hopefully they can have some upsets there and you know the big the really big game for that six spot will be the next one if they get the win tonight that next game boost the nuggets Sunday

nuggets on Sunday this is how they’ll start Holland perro hunt Brook car and bazant it’s a very nice looking starting unit the captain of course is Jaden bazant we caught up with him a short time ago here he is well Jaden welcome to inago important for your crew cuz you’re right in the hunt from a top six point of view yeah right yeah we’re uh we’re in the mix there um few get a few of these last wins and uh we should be in a good spot I hope hey talk us through the uh first year of the f as a really cool experience I guess to be part of building something from almost the ground up yeah no absolutely um they’ve had success with the girls in the past few years and then first year for the for the um boys team and it’s been like nothing but fun for me you know I get to move home home and uh enjoy the community that I come from and you know just really get after with these guys we got a great group of guys this year um but you know there’s growing pains with the new franchise and stuff like that but I’m really excited for the future hey what about the Sharks as an opponent tonight what’s your thoughts there oh well you guys are you know a good team just a couple unlucky ones as far as the win column but you know we got to we got to take care of um McCrae down low uh you guys surround him with Shooters like uh zo Burton so really just trying to take away as much as that as we can and then just worry about ourselves you know play our game good luck for man all the best thanks man appreciate you one of my favorite players Jaden bazant really good guy and uh he’ll be an important part of that team on this Southern swing let’s have a look at the Sharks and the way they line up tonight importantly when these two teams met earlier this season as you mentioned Crystal the fire got home by 15 but there was no Alonzo Burton and no Braden Inger in many ways Caleb asey and see Cooper Rob there it’s a new looking team isn’t it it is a new looking team and inside is where the sharks have struggled in the past so those two players that you mentioned are key for this sharks team and key if this team’s going to get the win tonight all about the captains tonight zo Burton let’s go and have a chat with him now well on so important night for the team last home game of the season which seems to have come around quickly I guess there a bit of extra motivation there for the boys tonight yeah 100% we want to give the fans something to cheer for and and finish on a win and and make them proud in the in the city of inago Proud by getting a win cuz they’ve shown us immense support even though it’s been a bit of an up and down season for us um they still get here show our support so it’ be good to play our hard out and and get them a win tonight a lot of basketball still to be played in the season uh though right talk us a little bit about given the challenges of the Season what the feelings is like in the squad yeah I think we all get along really well it’s just like like you said there few up and downs um yeah people coming in and out and stuff like that so you just try to do your best to to show up every day stay professional um and work towards a goal and right now we’re working towards getting that second win um and we’re going to try and put our best performance forward tonight wish you well Z good luck out there awesome thanks Nate yeah last home game tonight they’re on the road for away games to come against the Giants the Rams the Jets and the saint the Chemist Warehouse head-to-head for this one Friday night Hoops in the salza NBL let’s have a look at how these two line up against each other and as you can see from those rankings points per game field goal percentage both are right down the tail end of the table turnover is an interesting one for me sharks need to look after it tonight they are the season leaders in the stat that you don’t want yes that is definitely something that you don’t want to leave the turnovers 100% is something that they need to clean up I think with the likes of Cooper Rob and there controlling the team hopefully he can turn that around and really control this game he’s a great point guard who has the ability to really move the ball carefully and get it through great hands so hopefully he can lead them out of that turnover leader board so that’s how they line up tonight Chemist Warehouse head-to-head all of the stats of course in the Sals NBL with thanks to our friends at Chemist Warehouse the fire about to step out onto the floor in their predominantly white uniform no IR tonight continues to be out and as you mentioned Crystal I think we only got to see him for a couple of games the strong word at the moment is we won’t see him for the rest of the season there’s the mix and pick.com poll to the viewers are going for still a chance for you to get involved 40% with the sharks 60% with the f I can tell you whether it swings your Vote or not both Bristol Ledger Walker and myself we’re going for the Sharks tonight we are add our votes in there get that percentage up a little bit but yeah last game for the sharks at home we heard Alonzo buron in his interview speak about them trying to pick up their second win this season and this game would be a perfect one to do it for them coin officials are just about ready to go s pan Brad Clive ran Ashley MVP Poll for the game will come up a little bit later on tonight get involved and have some fun there as well it is a viewer’s choice in the Sals NBL out comes the Molton high five from s pan photo with the young man in the middle Phil Carr and Kell McCrae such a big game for the F in particular tonight we know it’s the last home game of the season for the Sharks we know it hasn’t been a good season in terms of wins and losses but they got a chance to go out with a bang tonight in front of their Hometown fans here at the Shark Tank fire on the southern swing if they can go home with two wins they are right in the thick of it for the final six they get the opening possession here bazant turns the corner shut down by Asbury here’s Demarcus Holland Twitchy is always into the corner Phil car no can’t put it down they go again yeah great tip there from Jan bant just to get his hands on it and tip it out get them another look at the basket bazant short they’re going to get a third look though bazant underneath car had it lost it got it shot clock at nine third opportunity to start this one for the five denim Brook can hit threes and does what a start right what a great start for denim Brooke we saw it early in the rord league game this fight team is really versatile all of them can shoot the three they can all get in the paint and score inside as well about denim Brook midseason gets the call Vance Jackson Jr headed home hey denim we need a hand come and play and he’s done a lot of that so Burton tough answer from zo bton we know he can shoot the three that must be the main thing on his Scout run off the line what a start for the captain C misses perro hunt underneath cleans it up I’ve seen zo Burton on this court over the last few years if he gets going I’m just putting the warning out there right now look out ASB well that’s a great sign cuz he hit that one from Deep earlier oh Cooper Rob has cannoned into that padding there looked like he was on I don’t know it was like he was on soap yeah he flew into the backboard just there that looked sore but he’s up he’s all right and great defense to draw that charge offensive foul called by the way yeah we should mention that good to see he is back up he was just nursing his shoulder there at first here he is Cooper Rob Asbury Corner Inga for three oh gets it to go down Braden Inger back-to-back triples for the Sharks good signs if they’re dropping like that yeah very good sign that was a very kind Rim there to let that one fall in and they lead by one bazan step back can’t complete book did well picked up by Holland spinning around Rob sends it to Carr didn’t even look at the ring Phil Carr back out to bazan Brooke already one three that one in and out shark steady not a bad look same place same shot uh-oh I did tell you so Burton and you caught it you caught it early and the sharks are liking the look of that smoke go up behind the backboard when zo gets it I’m telling you now he’s not done yet I’ve seen this script before Crystal he is not done yet Alonzo Burton Holland Carr around McCrae pull up mid-range is good good awareness to get that up right before the shot clock went off if they’re not tied on zo Burton here they haven’t leared a lesson ASB Corner ing’s hit one Inga for two no that’s missed the entire ring picked up by perro hunt I think so Burton had a bit of a flick first that whistle didn’t go Asbury decided to go again he got pinned yeah great drive from Cru car hunt there to get himself downhill and to the chemist is he shooting to or is it s line Ball but a great push and transition from him to get out and go three threes for the Sharks to open up tonight they lead by two five trying to stay in touch with the final six that’s a nice pullup jumper from the elbow for Demarcus Holland nice little Shuffle out shot got a lot of space to get himself that look tough pass for Burton McCrae short Corner Inga all by himself on the other side of the Court no one’s seen him asrey oh Caleb aspry then straight down the lane no wonder they weren’t looking anywhere else he knew exactly what he was doing and where he’s going with that drive smallest man on the floor how good was that see what the f can do to respond jadden bant and he does respond that was a punishing dunk Caleb ASP oh man that was so quick and he just got up threw that down lots of highlights early tonight for the fans here at the Shark Tank don’t forget fan appreciation round as well this week and next week asree wants some more get some more so athletic so smooth getting to the rim my goodness bit of fun here in the opening 5 minutes Holland Rob did well defensively they’ve got numbers here Cooper Rob is f that’s a smart foul In The End by Philip Carr great defense there by Cooper Rob just to stand up and take that one that’s what they were missing earlier in the season as we look at this replay here oh here we go that is very very good right how good it must feel to be able to do something like that just cool both Cal muscles watching that oh man it is more than Cal muscles to get a dunk like that tilt the shark to come up with here Ben Halls into the action here’s Kell McCrae every really needed Kell McCrae early here tonight the big fella he’s had a very good season for the Sharks it must be said 14 points 12 rebounds a game four assists as well K mccre yeah I think he was I think for assist is the leading assist I think equal with Cooper Rob now but he led for a long way right and that was a trouble for them early on they really needed someone like Cooper Rob earlier this season someone to dish the ball out play great defense as we’ve seen F in and out tough shot in the end goes down though Demarcus Holland that was good that was good what have these players had in the warm up because man they are coming out hot I think both teams know that a win’s up for grabs here tonight as well McCrae inside goes again the big fella from paliston North off that favorable left gets it back chases it down himself look at him just bustling in there Kell McCrae time out five great work from him there puts up that shot misses chases own rebound and gets to work closer to the rim zo Burton couple of triples tonight already ominous signs TJ Gomes replay look at this just taking them all on Kell McCrae too big too strong the F spoke about that earlier we heard bant talk about it in his pregame speech he is a focus for them we’ve seen the fire try to send double teams to him but there you can’t do much when he Chas his own rebound and everyone’s out of position fan appreciation round Sal is getting in on the action as you would expect from our great friends 25% off any large pizza Sal Jam is the online code that might be the best online code of the season I reckon yeah I i’ lik the sales kicks home I also like that cuz there have been some really cool kicks out there this season so on Trend couple of weeks ago I think it was sales basketball that nearly ran off the screen it was that long well you can’t forget that one Sals Jam available till next Tuesday June 25 25% off any large pizza as our friend Casey Frank would say that’s two free slices great meth from casy as always so a really entertaining start here tonight rad e of course in season 2024 well done kids that’s an enterprising poster picture I like the fact that they’ve stayed within the lines they get extra marks for that look at the scoreboard the score score 100 to zero that’s good sharks by two 3 33 to play in this opening quarter hope you’re enjoying it see what the f can come up with out of that timeout toou Lewis is into the action oh he’s fouled there Caleb asprey just a knock down the arm right might have got in his Landing space a little bit but he was watching that rapid leag game he saw tiis go off from deep I don’t have the stat on this Crystal but I feel like having seen quite a few games over the season in fact probably all of them I feel like touille Lewis is right up there alongside Tom vidanovic for the players who have fouled the most when shooting a three-pointer I reckon he is right up there well I wouldn’t doubt it Tatu does take a lot of Threes And it is on the Scout that you know you have to find him when he’s outside that three-point line cuz he will put it up if he’s open 6 7% from the line this season he’s nailed all three from the Chemist Warehouse there and now he’s got a job to do on asprey who has been full of motivation tonight he’s called for a travel took a bit of contact and he’ll take a break a welld deserved break because he has been on a mission getting himself into the paint tough like there to get called for the travel zo Burton back into the action Holland he’s already put away a couple of good looks tonight from Deep oh that’s a Kea MC Bernie Griffin just stepped onto the floor that’s what I’m saying these five players can all shoot from Deep makes it really hard on their onboard coverage when they’re popping it’s hard to find them and now they lead by four Burton this time going inside nice little pull up floats it in for two he’s got eight yeah really impressive he’s getting it done good to see him scoring in the paint we know he can light it up from outside we know he takes more threes than he does twos he’s missed a shot yet either LS oh don’t tell me Bernie Griffin looking for backto back that’s going to be a shark ball two points in it Jaden Boucher steps onto the court he was good tonight wasn’t he in the earlier Sky Broadband rapid League game Jaden Boucher really liked the way he went about it he’s tough yeah he is tough doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet but he does all the little things that help you get the one in the end gets all the tips on rebounds you know box out all the right players 1%ers to 1center isn’t he here’s Cooper Rob searching tou Lewis did really well there that’s a tough make yeah that is that was good defense but even better offense tough wall away car looking for a foul to two Lewis loves a three then oh man can he shoot going get a 42 sent clip from Deep this season in the Sals NBL toou Lewis he’s had a breakout year I mentioned it earlier this season I think in the Five played against the one or two Jets toui Lewis is in line for a serious contract rise in 2025 yeah for sure do you have him down as you know on the conversation for most improved got to be up there got to be up there Crystal I think you’ve just added him oh well you’re welcome to to hopefully the panel agrees he’s definitely got to be in the mix MC Bernie Griffin to two Ls he was rushed in the end wasn’t he he was but it’s great to see that the five really given a role where he can take those shots he has the freedom to score in ways that he is capable of cuz I think in the past he just hasn’t been given that role’s Cooper robbed for three times ties it up seen him do that every game since coming into this sharks lineup Cooper Rob he’s productive tough pass yeah good idea just could have pulled that one in but a good idea from bant to get that to he saw he was behind the defense so if he had have caught that would have been a nice and easy layup instead the sharks get it with 10 seconds to go and he’ll get one shot up here to end this first quarter keep an eye on Alonzo Burton he’ll be in a corner somewhere here guarantee there he is left corner Cooper Rob goes it along got to shove in the back that’s a clumsy foul to give away by the fire you’ll see Cooper Rob here is where ing some noticeable scars from last week’s game CED a heavy hit in the nose he’s sporting a a nice black eye a Shiner have you had any of those in your basketball career com out of a game with a black eye oh I have I have in college I got a really nice one in a semifinal knocks down both there lead by two no play timeout taken that shot is way after the buzzer and that’ll do us we might come back and talk about black eyes after the break sharks lead this one by two it’s a good one tonight in the SS NBL 12 up no more H welcome back to ilt Stadium Southland tonight in the Deep South chilly outside nice warming here good crowd for this round 13 fixture between the Sharks and the fight Crystal leder Walker sharks lead by two yeah they do Alonzo Bon has come out firing he’s hot especially from outside but the Difference Maker for me is that man with the ball right there Cooper Rob who has been getting it done on both ends playing some great defense as well as offense seven points for Rob in that first quarter has eight Ben Hall turns the corner sends it out ing’s already hit one triple he’s now H to Great find to see him out there all alone the paint was packed pivot and find your shooter inside outside action answer jet Thompson jet Thompson was really good the last time these two teams played he contributed 14 points in that matchup they’ll be looking to get him back on the scoreboard with that again big Cal has taken one or two too many steps he called for a couple of troubles tonight the Sharks yeah good call by the coin officials there he definitely planted the wrong pivot foot on that move in the tough season hasn’t it for the Sharks one win 14 losses mind you that one win was against the nugget so given their rivalry that’s worth about three or four right if you had to pick one game that you could wi that’s it that’s the one that’s the one we spoke about it earlier they got a trophy for that and everything I mean take what you can then Hall on the reverse good defense in the end from car is’s an offensive foul against denim Brook I reckon the whistle went even before the contact you could see it coming couldn’t you yeah you could his leg was just out a bit far on that one of course it was Kar Rob that took that hit he just seems to be in the middle of all of it we’ve seen him sliding all over the place already tonight here he is J Thompson there with him inside asprey takes contact he’s been terrific to watch he has but just look at all that attention that Colin McCrae Drew on that catch three players pan to him and great read from aspir to cut down the middle to the hoop Sal hoop heads every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. every Thursday night at 6 p.m. as well did I see this week on Sal hoop heads that Brook rusco forgot to put his tips in yeah you did and you saw plummeted he’s plummeted down the leaderboard yes he has and you are above him so bragging rights between the two of you yes I’m going to send him a message tonight has he put his tips in this week I think he has I’m pretty sure I saw his teams come up in our chair join us every week on SS hoopet having a great year a lot of fun for rusco and all the team margin at five oh well done MC Bernie Griffin takes contact and finishes with a nice spin off the backboard led to the Chemist Warehouse I like the chemistry that we’ve seen between those two bant and AA coming out of that on ball bant has been able to find him getting in the lane results so far in round 13 Tara took down the nuggets on Wednesday night by 32 102 to70 it’s like three points the margin with 3 minutes to play in the first half in that game yeah I don’t know many people would have picked that score line especially worth three of their starters out of the picture three yeah I mean the Nuggets were missing Ben hen which is massive for them as well but Dante Russo n was out as well Ty Webster in fact congratulations to Ty Webster and and partner safe arrival of a baby boy that’s exciting right baby boy nice one to add I’m sure he’ll be a baller when his time comes you know all things about babies at the moment how is the little one going she is going good you know we’re napping we are napping yeah the two atar are very impressive on Wednesday night what a way to open up round 13 especially three young players Kell McCrae does get the drop on that one right great move to split himself through that double that double just coming a bit too slow he was able to see it coming from a mile away made his move nice and early Holland from Deep MC Bernie Griffin turns it over asey again threw down a massive dunk in the first quarter that three doesn’t land speaking of dig dunks did you see breny the other night wow oh man didn’t he have a game ker KN for him Charlie dton is good as as well Taha Cooper last night the Saints took care of business against the Hawks good pass inside big Kell McCrae oh gee Bren Ina missed a bit of a bunny there yeah great pass we spoke about it earlier Kell McCrae averaging four assists leading his team in that category just great vision there’s that all right that doesn’t seem to be affecting his vision as we see him getting busy early you said you cop a black eye in your career do you want to doop the player in tonight they won’t be listening oh they won’t I honestly I don’t even remember I just I know we won the game and that’s what matters all the grin on your face as you said that too Caleb asprey underneath oh great pass really well done sharks Cooper Rob finishes slick stuff from the home team tonight timeout called by the F they Trail it by seven GJ Gomes replay look at this Rob having some sort of a game so too Asbury they’ve been the two standouts haven’t they yeah for sure great pass there great cut the defense just fell asleep lost track of their man and the sharks are just making them pay they really started this game well speaking of tying how about not tying for fuel no less some free fuel with thanks to wo great supporters here in the Sals NBL there’s the QR code get your device out scan away get in there and spin a win some Moler now with thanks to wo they have been looking after kiwis with fuel for decades and decades and decades and there is nothing better than those three words right there on the screen win free fuel oh that word alone free what about win no just get your free fuel right there you know what to do get in there and have a go I need to come out of this timeout and have a go don’t they sharks all of a sudden have broken this one open yeah the Sharks playing really well you can just feel the momentum is with them right now they can get another stop here be good signs getting into the second half for them see can do Holland runs into Rob once twice good defense Cooper Rob just does such a great job of getting his chest in front of his player taking it I like a no call on it as well big call McRae hard with denim Brook car spinning back on ingga forces him to the Baseline erant pass picked up by Burton here they come the Sharks they’re feeling good tonight Inga McCrae hesitation misses puts it back great pass almost smoked that layup but got it himself stacking his stats up look at this r nine now bazant needed to respond the skipper and he did bazant just so smooth so hard to guard his moves are so deceptive asrey pulls up mcra he’s just tough to stop isn’t he asrey draws the foul he’ll head to the Chemist Warehouse mark it down to Kell McCrae though yeah he is tough to stop he obviously has a big size Advantage so that’s hard on its own but he works really hard stays with the ball gets his team extra possessions as well plays really big minutes Kell mcro yeah he does and theyve needed him to that over really have someone of his size you know to back him up so they need him to play Big minutes asy moves to seven points in the game Burton’s got eight Rob’s got nine second one is good from the colored strike look at this sharks looking for their second win of the season this is their last home game of the season now trying to go out in style fan appreciation round they’ll be appreciating this at the moment car with the Miss with ASE getting up he’s got Rob in the corner big Kell wants it big Kell gets it get out of the way Kell McCrae short after it again Inga Rob with some space for three that doesn’t go down Burton another offensive rebound Inga misses it all I think they going to get it back they are possession after possession the sharks are just staying with it he’ll be happy at the moment he will he’ll want to give these fans something to appreciate you’re right this would be the way to do it on their last home game former coach of yours of course d m lorddd you spent plenty of time playing basketball for guy Malloy Phil car there with the strip and with the make what’s he like take us inside the mind of guy this has been a tough season it has been a tough season I mean he has done so much for basketball here in New Zealand he’s taken the toins from strength to strength I think when he first took over the program you know we weren’t our world ranking wasn’t that high and he definitely got it up there you know we’re so close to an Olympic birth this year but yeah he’s just such a smart man really knows what he’s got comes up with a great game plan on how to work his team but really unfortunate for the Sharks this season they were so close in a lot of ways and you know didn’t seem to get the right Imports I’m sure if they could have started the season with this team they have together right now it would have been a lot of different outcomes for them it’s a really good point to make crystal as it is they’re out by nine heading down towards halim F only averag 76 points a game they ranked 10th in the league mind you the team that sits underneath them is the team that they’re playing the Sharks average 75 a game right ID from McCrae execution wasn’t the best looking for Burton in the corner probably the real weakness for the five this season they averaged just 31 points in the paint po game as pre he can fly this guy yes he can and how smart just to keep that ball up high put the shot up he knew that foul was coming cuz the defense just fell asleep for a second there great play great smarts to get that one one up on the room just getting back to that St on the fire 31 points in the paint that’s their average per game that is clearly ranked 11th in the league of course they had Sam meninga signed at the start of the Season Ira Lee was here a couple of weeks ago they’ve just lacked that big Play Vance Jackson Jr who was leading their scoring and rebounding at the time that he went back to the Saints H it’s back to the Saints back to the States I should say pardon me interesting if you had to going to the S um they’ve just lacked that size inside haven’t they yeah they have and I think you know denim Brook was a great get for them bringing him late in the season he doesn’t necessarily have the size but he has the work ethic to compete inside and get some of those rebounds that they really needed but yeah they have missed a big man and a big import would have been nice inside for them cuz they have a lot of talented guards that can get it done and really run a team scol for carry then we don’t see that too often in basketball these days Cooper Rob nice little handoff underneath to Kell McCrae they’re teaming up well aren’t they they are upset at Cooper Rob really just a glue player gets his teammates involved knows when to play make knows when to score knows when to play great defense tell you who knows how to shoot anywhere along that Chemist Warehouse strike Jaden bazan really misses on that pullup looking to answer Rob back of the IR margin at 11 bant again just trying to lift his team trying to will them onto something here and that’s forced a timeout for the Sharks GJ Gard homes replay here’s the captain of the toonga fight backto back baskets for him he’s doing all he can right now yeah he is and he’s so good one-onone he’s played a lot of three on three basketball internationally and knows how to beat a player especially players that might be more athletic more quick we can see that ESB can get up against anyone else he probably would have had that block but bant is just smart he’s smooth he’s silky with his touch around the rim and just got that one up and over to end that little Spurt of play for the five Super Saturday coming up tomorrow in the Sals NBL couple of really good games r and the Saints tomorrow afternoon from CS Stadium Nick buy and Maya Williamson looking after proceedings here on sky sport of course the Rams traveled to the capital a few weeks ago and made the Saints look silly to be honest I think they got home by about 24 and doesn’t happen often right I mean the Saints typically perform really well at home Saints typically perform really well in general anywhere yeah but the Rams they’re looking really good this season just a tight unit everyone knows their role and led really well by Taylor Brit tomorrow night Jets and the Giants the Giants in round 12 lost to the Rams by two and then tore strips off the Hawks Giants for me have been the hot and cold Team all season they currently sit in six they’ve got to keep winning cuz they know there’s a chasing tackle that’s a danger game for them tomorrow night against the Jets the Jets are capable we haven’t seen it but they are capable the Jets are capable they definitely have the talent to get it done no down for to of course for the Giants there’s a foul on Jaden Boucher in fact it’s going to be UNS sportman lot will the basket count and maybe that’s just what Sam tan is having a chat to Brad C about yeah not sure cuz that shot did go quite a while after the whistle but I think the call is right not sure that b had a play on the ball there let’s see what the signal is here points are good there you go one to come from the Chemist Warehouse for Scotty Tela and they’ll get possession out of it as well so a big play for the Sharks coming out of that timeout just as we were talking about the danger game for the Giants tomorrow night against the Jets yeah the Giants like to real really good verse the Hawks I mean right from start to finish they looked really good look sharp didn’t they and that Hawks team is no joke they’re hard to stop Moore is really hard R SM is really hard they have a big man in there they can really get it done Isaiah Moore leading scorer in the competition this season Allstar five oh for sure in my Allstar five I think it depends or actually I take that back depends how they finish because you know if they’re lower down on the ladder are you really Allstar five is going to be tough going to be really tough ala has been streaming some great games together it’s going to be a battle isn’t it it sure is who did you have for your pick for MVP this year I had Sam Fring Caleb asrey might be m BP tonight oh he’s definitely making a case getting it done from all over the floor two minutes to play in this opening half teroh Hunt’s been well held in this game he draws the foul on Burton there I had Sam froling is League MVP I think he’s in the mix but I think there’s definitely some players chasing him right now are right there with him who did you have I actually didn’t make it pick early the MVP is that allow no pick is that allow I it was allowed for me I was too busy off doing motherly things having babies that’s right but yeah it definitely is going to be a tight race and you know right now for me Taylor BR Taylor Brett is having a really really really good season in a team that’s 112 straight one you right you know in these comps winning matters and see what that call is the clock it’s a clock again we’ve had a couple of those in the last 30 seconds there’s a good look at that shine up from last week Cooper Rob yeah two shiners by the ls sharks out by 12 this second quarter has been most impressive definitely want to finish this half strong because they’ve come away in those close games there’s an offensive foul here against Scotty telfa down low on the Block there just asking the question the league sent out a directive to the teams on Wednesday afternoon and a public statement talking about a big Crackdown on players and coaches disputing the calls of officials I liked it yeah let it be not I mean officiating is probably the worst job in the world so we see a great shot there but yeah someone’s always going to hate you someone’s going to love you no matter what call you make I do tend to think I mean we get to see a lot of games obviously in the commentary box but I thought it was getting a little bit over the top and it was a good statement to make pass bur to T if I couldn’t hold on to it and the rule does exist as well you know if you’re going to excessively dispute decisions what the directive is now is you’re going to get reported and you’re going to pay some money yeah fair enough I mean there definitely are a handful of players that come to mind you know just making a specticle of calls a bit too much and some coaches but yeah just play the game and adjust as we see oh my gosh we saw him earlier tonight C boy in the Sky Broadband rapid league and I’ve got to tell you he had a night out and he has just stepped out and taken off from where he left off oh that rapid League game it was his world we were all just living in it he was getting everything he wanted gee they needed that as well didn’t they Crystal back to seven now that’s a big play ahead of this timeout yeah that is great to see him being rewarded in this main game and getting some minutes because as we mentioned before the game this is a must win for the F if they want to stay in the hunt for playoffs we mentioned Super Saturday tomorrow in the sers NBL what about Sensational Sunday nuggets in the fire depending on what happens here tonight that is a really key clash between those two teams who are battling to stay in contact with the final six and then Sunday evening I just don’t think it gets better than this in round 13 the Bulls and the airs do battle on Sunday night Bulls coming off that dramatic fourpoint overtime win in Wellington last week last Sunday night in fact I actually was calling that game with Miles piss I think that’s the I think that’s the best game that organiz has had since they came into the competition in 2020 yeah and 1 through 12 right because they had some key players fed out in that game and their bench really stood up and got the job done for them in overtime so yeah I definitely think overall as a team in a franchise that was a great performance by them they’re going to be a good one Sunday night Bulls In the Airs right here along with every other game in the Cs NBL on sky sport your home of basketball Cooper Rob nice pass Kell McCrae one crack at it two cracks then tied up with Cruz perro hunt I think big Cal might be saying I felt like there was a player or two hanging off my arm there a great Eyes by to find him through traffic there not an easy pass to make he’s a tough player K McCrae but he’s a gentle giant as well nice guy to have a chat with coroy the youngster bazant who’s been terrific this quarter this would be just what they need underneath though Phil Carr launched up grabbed the offensive rebound and he’s going to be rewarded with a trip to the Chemist Warehouse strike no way to stay with it great little ball fake from bent there to get himself a wide open three and good work from his teammates to chase that one down now sharks should get an opportunity here to use their player timeout and Advance with a second to play that’s an important second on the clock first one down margin at six they’ve done well here the fire late in the second quarter margin was out by as much as 14 expect the play a timeout there it is Big Kell will call it and the Sharks will advance with a second to play see what magic they can come up with I know you and I have spoken about this before Crystal but the player timeout this Innovation first came into the GJ garden homes toi League a couple of years ago mhm I really feel like the teams and the players have got their head around it now yeah they really have and interesting by the fights to go to a little Zone here here we go let’s see what they can do in oh the pass is going to be Stripped Away not sure if that shot got off in time but the margin at five good fight back by the F yeah great fight back from the F some players really coming alive playing bit of

those little suits what are those even called but man they need a bigger singlet on that look at it it’s like a crop top they’ve got uh they’ve got all the fancy things down here in South and what

Sals Jam Sals Jam yeah nice and easy to remember Sals Jam 25% off this week any large pizza mind you while we’re both hungry the sharks are hungry for a win there it is by the way what a way to start the third quarter here we go sharks with first use of it they were out by 14 Midway through that second quarter five battling back asb’s been a star tonight deep two would have been just what the Sharks wanted pero hunt only four points for him maybe something right now for Cruz pero hunt just kept control of it late in the shot clock we’re now down to eight perro hunt receives and makes that’s what the f wanted yeah he had a great start to this season with the FI very familiar with his coach played for him in high school great to see that he has come into the season with some more freedom with a bigger Roll But since the start of the season the Scout has just gotten tighter tighter on him teams are more aware of his abilities Alonzo Burton has not missed tonight a perfect four of four for Alonzo Burton 10 points they going to get it in his hands more who’s that come off it’s going to be a shark ball both teams shooting around that 50% Mark yep and both teams have a few players that are really hot right now asper being one of them for the Sharks tell what Crystal both teams good from the Chemist Warehouse tonight as well sharks 9 of n by seven of eight look at big Kell McCrae that’s just a big man doing big man things yeah there’s not much you could do to stop that car takes a whack from Asbury on the drive and he’ll head to the strike good read from him to turn the corner and get down hill as we have another look at colum McCree bullying his way to the basket and getting a nice and easy layup here’s the run home for both teams as we said last home game of the season for the Sharks they’ve now got four games on the road to finish 2024 Giants away Ram away jets away and Saints away potentially three finalists in that group so it is a tough run home the fire have the nuggets on Sunday afternoon that’s coming your way live and free on Sky open from 300 p.m. and then they’ve got the Bulls at home the Saints away and the Jets at home so it’s a tough run for them as well the great loves that left hook doesn’t he yeah he does his left hand is definitely his strong hand but going back to the fight and their run home they match up against those three teams all with players missing out of their lineups that does not look good there I think Demarcus Holland and denim Brook took each other out then looked sore but going back to what I was saying their matchups they match up against those finalist level teams with missing players so the opportunity is there for sure she wouldn’t it be fairy tale if they make the final six in their first season got to get the win here tonight though it’s going to be very very hard if they don’t leave in vagle with a victory asree is fouled he’s been a pocket rocket tonight hasn’t he he has so quick to get to the rim so hard to stop 12 points for asrey Kum McCrae continues to flirt with a triple double 14 points nine rebounds including six in the offensive glass five assists as well for big Kell McCrae hasb converts from the Chemist Warehouse bant was Electric in the second quarter tonight book with some space that one in and out double double now for Kell McCrae rebound number 10 can he add with an assist he can kay asprey athletic midair catch off the glass just a great pass and great vision from mccr to get it up there for him go get it look at this eyes on him the whole time throws it out in front of the defense gets up celebrates on the floor he is he’s showing out that is not easy no not at all we about it earlier that is very hard to do and he is so athletic and makes it look so smooth F respond through Phil car badly needed triple he’s been well held tonight as well the actually just jumps up to 10 but it feels like a very quiet 10 Inga Burton back to Braden Inga going to work on denim Brook here turn around and he puts that down oh that is tough tough tough tough not much more you could do on defense to stop that McCrae will get credited with that rebound Asbury his eyes are just lighting up at the moment pass inside to Burton on the RSE if you don’t mind Matt Lacy’s seen enough this sharks team means business tonight GJ Gardner hommes replay yeah look at this little hesitation on this shot drop that pass off instead and bton gets the job done for the Sharks the fight really need to talk about this and turn it around to get themselves back in this ball game margin back out to 12 D Courtney there jotting down some stats some notes be plenty of them Asbury Burton McCrae dominating right now yeah absolutely taking control of this game they came out firing and they have not slowed down since that first whistle we had a triple double this season not that I can oh surely har Harris was close at the start of the Season yeah good call sure somebody out there will let us know I know what I’m having for dinner by the way I’ve seen that pizza about seven times tonight right sales Jam sales Jam sales Jam as you’re going home remember that code earlier tonight in the Sky Broadband rapid League Thriller in the end the F got home by 43 seven to 33 that is an offensive foul every day of the week Philip Carr leading his innocence but I reckon if we see the replay on that one he’s not going to get too much favor from the coin officials es he in a lot of pain good to see Kil C just checking on him good sportsmanship not much is going to keep asrey down tonight though yeah no not the way he has been going in this game that’s really tough for the fire out of a timeout really want to respond not that next possession having it go your way I need to get a stop here to try to slow that momentum down for the sharks asprey with the pass McCrae another offensive rebound I think he’s just racking up the offensive rebounds on purpose yeah he is he wants that triple double he’s at least going to get a double double he’s got that already heroh hunt leaves it short oh they’re feeling it the Sharks right now they are seriously feeling it they go through the big man again asey will do something special here watch this up and in no can’t finish it it’s going to say take what you want peroh immediately closed down by ingga hand asprey was great look who comes up with it the 7ot Loper Kell McCrae unfamiliar territory right but he can do it all you know we see he’s they top assist guy top rebounder getting it done scoring wise he can do it all to see Cruz perah hunt taking a s there he’s only put up three shots tonight it’s not enough just hasn’t been able to get going be making it tough for him to get good looks but that one’s not just short from iner on that three present the man that got them going Midway through the second that one in and out for Holland asey fancy again here’s McCrae and there’s a whistle here maybe just a wraparound from AA mcburn Griffin it is yep he watched McCrae bully his way inside side from that exact same spot just a few minutes ago wasn’t going to let the same happen to him 16 points 12 rebounds six assists now for Kell mccre 4 minutes to play in the third quarter here he is again just too big isn’t he yeah and I like that the Sharks you know give him that hold of the floor to work so there’s no unexpected players coming to dig in great kick out there oh kind of hook boy he is having some sort of a night what’s that two triples in this game as well yeah at least he is a sniper from out there making a name for himself Carter hooy was terrific in the rapid League Kell McCrae made that look a lot harder than it needed to be yeah but great read by hopo there just to hang around in that help side get a hand to that we talked earlier didn’t we about college Scouts in the US watching Carter H boy and his rise here through the Sky Broadband rapid league in particular but also getting some minutes in the Sals NBL and he is not letting anyone down yeah know college prospects I’m sure oh nice take there from Cooper Rob over the top but yeah if College doesn’t want him I’m sure a lot of professional clubs around the place will also be having their eye in on him great development player or someone to develop in their system nice basket there for Cooper Rob timeout called by the fire and they are in serious trouble right now the fight just five in it at half time but this one is ballooned out Sharks playing with some real confidence in this third quarter and seemingly on their way to their second victory of the Season speaking of Victories you know you’re going to get a win if you win some free fuel with thanks to whiteo there’s the QR code scan away have some fun well Tom I have been looking after kiwis for decades when it comes to fuel You’ got your chance to win some free fuel right now Spin and win I like it yep free fuel fill your car up follow your team around the

Crystal there’s some big big names being signed look out oh I’m excited you’ll be playing I will I will you will be I will I hope there’s a SC I hope I’ll be playing somewhere out there I’m sure will be oh my gosh these sharks are just not giving up anything tonight all blood in the water right now isn’t it they are out for the kill 17o margin just like that look at asey getting after it they really are just getting it done on this defensive end they’re looking really good on offense but it’s coming from this defensive presence they have they’re able to get these stops turn them over and just roll right in to their offense in transition just playing good team basketball really together right now well they average a League worst 75 points a game they’ve already got 70 with 12 and 1/2 minutes to go bant turn around jumper up Inga rebound here they come they’re just running with confidence the Sharks yeah they are and we mentioned it earlier it is a different looking team than they started the season so you know I don’t give them all those bad numbers these players not all of them had a piece in there chance both ends of the floor aspry idea was right looking for Hall a good Hustle by tou as we see him running hard on both ends oh just left it behind didn’t he I feel like we’ve seen enough of tou Lewis in this in this Sal NBL game tonight let’s see what he can do with the opportunity now Cooper Rob want asy uses McCrae fires from Deep puts it down massive night for Caleb asprey in the SS NBL yeah I think he has 19 points now he is looking really good and he’s just chasing it all the time isn’t he getting out of the lanes playing hard defense Lewis Dead Eye you said it they needed to get him in there earlier his second triple of the night to tuy Lewis he had those three free throws as well from the Chemist Warehouse so effectively three threes for him tonight effectively right we take it by need to just keep firing away and they do backto back triples that helps Phil Carr on the end of that one they bring it back to 14 see the sh just slowing it down love the way Cooper Rob takes contact I love the way he controls the game just slows it down goes at his own pace tough shot right on the buzzer to tuille Lewis leave that man on the floor has a word to the Sharks bench on the way out at three quter time gives them some lip service GJ Gardner homes replay just leave him out there another triple for toui Lewis and the fight in the quarter with backto backto back threes and they are right back in this game with a quarter to play well I don’t think that’s the was there a technical foul given there or I think there is a t so we’re going to see something when the fourth quarter starts let’s take a quick break thrilling finish on the way in the Sals NBL tonight so now to show us you and 2 1 no hook my what a finish to that third quarter by the Tonga fire and all of a sudden it all heats up again here in inle tonight sharks leaded by 11 but they have got out by as much as 20 during that third quarter Justin nson Crystal LED your Walker with you and as we saw right on three quter time technical fou caught I think it was against touille Lewis for the way that he was celebrating there’s the resulting shot believe it or not that’s the first Miss for Zo Bon tonight yeah tough easiest shot he’s had all night and misses it maybe ball doesn’t like to he shouldn’t have got that technical foul didn’t mind the Celebration by the way little bit of Che it was a tough shot it was a tough shot and they’ve got a chance to score again here they finished the third quarter with three triples Thompson this would be a fourth in a row in and out for Phil Carr sharks need to steady they have been the better team tonight Hall on the drive Ben Hall very very good job yeah tough finish great way for him to get into the lane easy little layup car draws the foul just breeed past Kell mcro and this F team got a little bit of confidence right now mhm and I like that he got himself to the room we’ve seen that the fight can get it done from the outside but he just missed one from out there so decided to go and get a three-point play the oldfashioned way at the kimus warehouse line thei needs to get themselves back into this game by getting in the paint 16.7 rebounds for Philip Carr tonight look at this at 10 it was at 20 not that long ago let’s see how the Sharks respond Cooper Rob doubled Inga down to McCrae the paint is stacked big Cal he doesn’t care another rebound for him and another putb he just getting to work on those boards mentioned it earlier just stacking it up on his own shots Carr got McCrae off the floor coming through H boy draws the foul and Young Carter will head to the Chemist Warehouse Kell McCrae 20 in the game now by the way yeah K McCrae has been dominating down low oh here we go our first look at it tonight game MVP you know what to do some pizzas up for grabs with thanks to cells free to enter who’s your choice viewer’s choice of course in the SS NBL the MVP I like K McCrae up there on top I do like K McCrae out on top Cooper Rob would be the guy for me that’s been controlling the game oh no one voted for him yet come on fans otherwise how a hopefully he’s been playing you do love a point guard though by the way I do I am very biased not shy about it what about Caleb aspery oh yeah let’s not forget about him not on the court right now but definitely had a great game have a look at those Vats again in just a moment I think big K’s traveled there he has that won’t count where was kylo B on that Bo can’t remember seeing his name it was there wasn’t it surely it was surely I’m sure it will be by the time it comes back up we’ll bring it back up in a moment get your uh phones ready to scan the QR code so you can have a vote we want to hear from you pero hunt surrounded by orange little fouling there not much in it be against Alonzo burton all right here we go oh there he is of course Caleb as’s right up there he should be McCrae and asey have starred tonight for the sharks bazan’s been good Phil car’s come on in the second half hasn’t he so Burton maybe deserves a vote or two no love to Cooper Rob here he is talk him up Crystal come on get everyone voting for Cooper it’s all right the fans know what they’re talking about they have asrey in there McCrae they’ve been the two stuffing the stat sheet F there on jet Thompson I know tou Lewis has got a lot of fans out there family and friends as well oh yeah he’s got you know two very talented sisters that have fans of their own too so a lot of love for the family that o here’s McCrae hands it off to asrey asey look at the step back oh big rebound McCrae fouled in the process I know he’s a big man but she got after that rebound impressively yeah he did and it’s just tough got to put a body on him he’s cleaning up these boards giving his team extra positions number 14 for him Crystal and that’s his eigh offensive re eight yeah that is a very impressive stat especially to have by himself we go people are listening to you Crystal robs up to 7 out to those fans they are listening to you mind you I’m thinking R should be higher than 55% now here he is he has dominated this one can’t get that turnaround left hook to go bazant aggressively Rob good hands to get that stop set it all night bazant is hard to guard hard to keep in front of you oh as turned it over there theen repays the favor this one’s not done yet just as I said the fans were listening to Crystal they’ve dropped off it’s all about K McCrae tonight viers MVP have your vote have you say have some fun and win some pizzas along the way Corner three to Lewis doesn’t miss many of those I think the F like their chances here I like this five on the court now we can see the fire can close out games something the sharks have really struggled with this season great take well they can’t let that they can’t let that happen that was too easy hen turns the corner quickly shut down by Inga tough pass inside for H boy robs picked up for the foul I reckon with those plays on the ball from behind even if it is clean it just looks messy doesn’t it yeah a lot of people call those bows no matter what I mean it’s a hard angle to see it no matter where you are as a ref but not much Cooper Rob could do on that one here’s Philip Carr gets past big Kell mccraig is doing these last few possessions he knows he has the speed advantage against McCrae really making the most of you know giving a little fake and getting right by him ingga for three that scoreboard is ticked over short on the shot for Demarcus Holland here maybe it has margin at 10 asrey five got to keep getting stops M cray wants it that’s not going to do it though I just think the five got a got a sneaky feel here they look to be the better team on the floor right now they do we can see that they’ve just creeped their way back into to this game the momentum doesn’t feel like it’s totally going the way of the Sharks anymore let’s see what the f can do here one or two baskets everything opens up last home game of the season for the Sharks pass was good to perart shot was hard McCrae was waiting for it Rob did he push off peroh hun Inga in and out to twoy Lewis look at him go oh the youngster draws contact he’s going to go to the Chemist Warehouse hasn’t got a single vote tonight where’s his family and friends Crystal right come on fans put that man it’s Nam down on the MVP boat look at him go one on two doesn’t matter he is hard to stop he’s even better at getting to the chemist wherehouse free throw line 12 points for him tonight three triples there’s a lot of fun to watch to T Lewis just brings so much energy hey there you go there you go he’s on the board right give him the ball a little bit more might see his name pop up some more mind you speaking of family and friends I think Ben Hall’s got a few not sure that uh we’ve seen too much of Ben Hall tonight two points for him hel McCrae still leading the way toou Lewis sneaking up all the time I’ve seen this play out before Crystal with toou Lewis he’s got a lot of love out there amongst the fans and it is Fan Appreciation round of of course right friends family doesn’t matter all the same fans of fans little split the pair at the Chemist Warehouse we’re going to get a timeout here with 445 to play this one’s not done no not at all the f are getting themselves back into this ball game nine points three possessions not much in it and as we said fan appreciation round this being the last home game for the Sharks not that they can hear you cuz they’re busy watching the game Crystal but right sharks need the fans right now to find some voice and get them across the line yeah they do and it’s their last home game they have a good crowd down there I guarantee you by the next time we bring up that VP to T Lewis will be in double digits you watch oh come on don’t even need don’t even need to bring it back up he’s already up to 12% there is an absolute rush through that QR code right now for tonight’s MVP the coui Lewis fan club is coming hard yeah come on bring it home five fans I reckon this happened against the Jets earlier this season here you go I’m telling you just watch what happens over the next five or so minutes with touille Lewis he will be threatening Kel McCrae shortly well I mean if you’re a five fan there’s only one five player on that board right now so you might as well all just vote for tul i” be a steal the CR doesn’t get it by the way back underway sharks just need to steady here don’t they one basket just to settle it and this is the man the captain yes so Burton oh yep he has been hot tonight great pass by ese to find him out there hunt can’t respond well that was a captain’s basket wasn’t it it was right when they needed it he just sits in that corner just waits for his moment foul called I can understand it going against Demarcus Holland if that’s the way it’s gone because I don’t think teror hunt did too much wrong what did I tell you was going to happen well if the F get this win everyone just go and vote tiis even though he’s not even on the floor anymore he’s just going up every time we see it amazing he’s up to 21 one of the most popular players in the Sals NBL toou Lewis for good Reon he works really hard plays even harder speaking of which Cooper Rob if you’re a sharks fan he might deserve a photo or two tonight as well I know you’ve been really impressed you definitely have we see the F really trying to make something happen 14 down to 11 denim Brook they’re not done with yet can the Sharks find The Knockout blow around the world Cooper Rob nearly lost his footing shot clock at five Caleb asy GE that was close that was close that was a close shot and that was a long deep shot denim Brook step back that doesn’t drop look at asprey just controls it 19 points for him tonight that’s his fourth rebound now he gets on the drive up high off the glass make it 21 for aspry timeout by oh he’s been good Caleb asrey yes he has as we see just this change of pace gets by his defense with ease nice and high off the glass pass he is so hard to stop and yeah he deserves to be right up there on that mvp leaderboard he’s been getting it done slow down now slow down now on to T this is getting criminal because Kell mccrae’s been the best player on the floor tonight so just slow down he’s come from the clouds hasn’t he he has but hey Fan Appreciation Week do what you want good call good call it’s about you the fans mind you where’s the fans of Kell McCrae they’re at the game they’re there watching I don’t know if they can see this QR code surely to doesn’t steal it tonight surely not come on let’s prove Justin great to see the fans as we said this week in next week fan appreciation round so many kids coming out to the basketball isn’t there yeah so great to see we know that basketball is the biggest growing sport in New Zealand right now in the last few years so it’s awesome that they have professional leagues to look up to both this league and the toi League great to see that there’s a pathway for them and that there is potential for them to make some money off basketball here in New Zealand here we go 248 to play need something special here turnover denim Brook wasn’t a smart pass and then he commits the foul asprey hits the floor for about the seventh time tonight yeah he has been all over the place just a warrior is he in fact he’s going to go to the Chemist Warehouse here both teams are in the bonus yeah tough turnover even tougher foul these are the easiest shots that ese will get tonight PA of asy is eight of nine in his trips to Chemist Warehouse this evening that is some seriously good shopping by the way eight of nine he’s now n of 10 he’s now 10 of 11 right almost Jinx him there oh almost gets it back on defense fck he may have won it back he has she some big plays in the last minute from Asbury and it looks like it may be enough now for the Sharks back out to 15 in the blink of an eye fou called on to Tui Lewis not sure that he did a lot wrong then other than probably get sucked in a little bit by Cooper Rob yeah Cooper Rob just so poised oh look at that come on I’ve created a monster haven’t I never back yeah Cooper Rob so poised so controlled can you take over the commentary I’m about to vote for call McCrae sorry to T Lewis fans come on sharks fans get involved get some love for K mccrae’s been awesome tonight 20 rebounds 16 sorry 20 points 16 rebounds and six assists PR tonight as’s been great as well so to zo Burton can’t finish oh oh there he is touille Lewis maybe he does deserve it tatouille goes up high puts it down we’re back to 13 man oh man get out in the lane go finish in transition oh they got it back ban oh c the Rob quick steal asprey gets up off the glass that’ll do it sharks are going to win this game your man Cooper Robb defensively Crystal yeah so tough good hands like I’ve been saying just a smart player it’ll be smart of them just to use this time wisely to doing everything he can to try to get the ball back for his team under 90 seconds to play sharks one win from 15 games this season five trying to stay in the battle for the final six in their inaugural season in the SS NBL they have to play the nuggets on Sunday and if going down tonight doesn’t kill off their final six chances they can’t get pass the nuggets on Sunday it is curtain drawn basket there for Jaden bazant timeout for the Sharks I think guy Malloy probably just wants to make sure everyone settles down over the next 71 seconds oh yeah he will be chasing this win as we see a replay here of bazant he drifting his way to the Rim Yeah guy will want to make no mistakes here he really want this last win at home you the right man’s back on time sorry sorry we have world peace is restored Kell mcra mind you it’s only 1% there’s still 1 minute 11 for everybody out there to vote some pizzas to give away as well but thanks to Sals randomly selected from all of our voters tonight not too late to get your vote in Asbury probably deserves a little bit more than 14% oh definitely asrey has been getting it done all over the floor he’s just so electric on the offensive end but really getting out in those passing Lanes getting deflections all over the floor diving on the floor hustling hard right yeah as’s moving away sorry mccrae’s moving away as we speak the Sharks fans are getting back involved big Cal has had a big night dying second here will come back and check in on the winner according to you shortly let’s see how the Sharks finish this one off they’ve got four away games to come fans are on their feet wheel up back out there I wonder if that’s a sign that maybe Andrew wheeler is playing his last game in front of the Sharks fans I reckon it might be you know there might be a story behind this Crystal oh don’t say that well hit hearing last games still about four to go this season but not here at home deep two he’s had a wonderful career Andrew wheeler longest serving Shark look who comes up with it Caleb asprey oh my goodness he has gotten it done for the Sharks they’ve really come out as a collective tonight Party Time In The Deep South as Phil Carr hits a late three wheeler surrounded smartly PS the player timeout very smart to use that there esprey gets out in the lane gets up throws it down we’ve been seeing that all night it’s been a lot of fun and just how important is it for the Sharks tonight to send their fans off for season 2024 with a win after what has been such a tough season yeah this is the best thank you that they can give to their home crowd their home fans and this is what they want to see they want to see them playing hard right to the end have their players leaving everything out there as I said if the Sharks had started the season with this team could have been a completely different story for then oh Cal McCrae that won’t count but that’s the sort of night he’s had he’s been very influential in this one I wish he could have I wish that could have kind excited think he’s made a three All Season we can just give it to him new ruling basketball if you haven’t hit a three all season got a chance from the stripe here this is his first visit to the colored Line Tonight first one’s down from the Chemist Warehouse K McCree 21 points 16 rebounds eight of those offensive six assists there came a point in the game where he just gave up giving away the baskets he thought no I’m going to do it myself yeah e now span tonight there’s the final vote the viewers vote for the MVP a couple of words late here Caleb asrey having a chat with somebody a little bit of feeling out there it doesn’t matter when you’re a winner you’re a grinner Kell McCrae gets the final vote with thanks to you the fans he is your choice for MVP tonight thanks for participating and congratulations to the winners of the sales pizzas everyone just settling Caleb asprey down and there’s the final stats aspry had a huge game Kell McCrae dominant yeah he set it best on the court with 27 points as you said Kell McCrae got it done all over the floor Carr tried to have his team come back in that game but just couldn’t get it done toi lewiis with 15 Jan bazant was great in the second quarter but the Sharks just too good in this game all five starters in double digits for the Sharks and as we said McCrae dominated the glass yeah deservingly the fan MVP tonight as we see esey also got involved and Cooper Rob and for the five Carr and carrot hunt led the rebounding count on that side sharks wanted overall in the game 38- 29 as we see our assist leaders Callum McCrae just so impressive as a big man to also have those assist numbers getting up there as well as Asbury then on the other side Holland and car for the five sharing the ball around e e e e
