Tauranga Whai v Manawatū Jets | Full Basketball Game | @SalsNBL 2024
my welcome in to Mercury Bay Park in toonga with the to fire will host the manow two jets in the Sky Broadband rapid leue it is Tuesday night Hoops for the first time this year round 16 at the last round of the sales NBL and the last round of Rapid League no playoffs in this league it is straight winners and we’ve already found the winners we’ll talk about them coming up but I’m Taylor Johnson joining me as Crystal lier Walker and Crystal both these teams at the bottom of the rapid League table but how do they get each other up for this last game yeah well you know this fight team we’ve seed a lot this year but this is their first year and even though they haven’t shown it on the letter they have had some wins you know off the court that they can really look back on and be very proud of and for the Jets they mentioned this has been a rebuilding year for them they have a strong unit you know of locals so very exciting stuff for both teams and we’ll see a lot of them in this rapid League game a big congratulations to the nelon Giants for winning overall they had that locked up last week just go to show how dominant they were but let’s take a look at the starting five for the visitors the property Brokers Jets it is two c St lafa and crate and does anyone stand out for you I love the way lafel plays he is very athletic makes very great decisions and just plays so hard so he’s definitely one that I’m watching out for on this Jets team and now to the five team Thompson Lewis Anderson Boucher po poy touille Lewis has had a really great season in this team as well but is anyone else stood out for you in the Spy Squad I like the way H boy plays he’s super young he plays Above the Rim he’s so exciting to watch but you also mentioned it tou Lis the last time these two teams matched up he started really strong in the reford league game and he had his career standout game in the main game against the Jets so he’ll be one to watch and one to get up for for this game $5,000 okay we look at the kemist warehouse head tohe head the last time they played it was very close it was very close we can see from that score it was a three-point game the Jets only just getting the five yeah look at that three-point shooting both teams are shooting it pretty well they’ve had some losses lately the five had some wins lately but this should be a great one there’s a lot of great matchups to watch for in this game and yeah just a lot of great players all around for both teams well we’ve mentioned this is the first season for the toong ofi they have had a really good turnout considering it’s a new team establishing themselves we just heard the crowd there and I do love the the uniforms I’m going to give it to them like they haven’t won the tournament this year but my eyes they’ve won the best uniforms so obviously m 2 in the traditional right green of palon North just looking at their options early sounding each other out as we mentioned three points the deficit last time coming through to Tong Val with the reverse and that is a strong first bucket right very pretty move from him he is so strong such a good frame I love watching him get out of transition and when he gets to the rim he makes a Look So Easy T Lewis this time looks for three knocks it down accurate start for the fight he will be wanting to get up for these games you already said it this is the F’s last game great hustle there from Bela but yet titoy Lois has been one to watch for let’s watch it on replay coming off that stagger screen three-pointer looking good early think it came off a Jets player but obviously not so they will inbound the ball getting pressured though from bout again trying to force the turnover unable to do so I like that this five teams picking up full court this is their last game nothing left after this so they might as well throw it all out there so scored the first bucket he’s going to drive into the paint with the little floater just left it on the rim and H boy with the rebound Thomson tries to go quickly to tangal got a hand to it so he loses the grip yeah Tom another great player for the fight had a really good season just a solid role player for them now with the four as lafa goes high and gets the and one two makes it look so easy so athletic he’s just great around the rim great finishing great at pulling him rebounds so check it on this replay great pass from Scott put him in a great position RAF good footwork to get that one up can’t add the extras in the three-point play So Fire will look to respond out just running out of options at the moment good man on defense at the moment from the Jets H boy found himself free little bounce pass can’t get it in the hoop though lafa comes up with the rebound yeah like that play from H as we see cows trying to push the pace CS has been another guard that I’ve liked out of this jet Squad to tangal draws the foul so will take two shots from the kimus warehouse free throw line a little bit too handy from toui Lois there I did have to nitpick tii Lois’s game it would be on the defensive end he does everything so well offensively he plays so hard but sometimes he just gets a little bit too excited and commits fouls on defense he probably could avoid if he was just a little bit more disciplined extends the lead to three points now in this rapid lead game halfway through the first period boy dishes the ball off they look for another three-point and it’s got thought he might had his foot on the line but they said it’s three I watched him earlier this year before this league started as we see his great hands there and gr can shoot he does not need much time and space to get it off as we see him coming off that screen getting hand off putting it up just such a quick release such a quick player yeah watched him play three on three and he absolutely dominated that scene the young 19y old good shooter as we’ve seen hustling for the offensive board was lafa but unfortunately to Tang ofal couldn’t quite reel that ball in yeah you need to put a body on him you need to find him he is so strong and I already said it you know he’s so good around the rim pulling in rebounds finishing he’s going to bother you if you don’t find him first good hustle coming in from the M two Jets kicking the ball out to Tang hanging out the right corner and again laf with another offensive board his team some Second Chance points again hustling under the rim yeah you need to box that man out and you know he’s really deep in there if you can’t box him out further enough to get the ball and let it fall in front of you box him out underneath the backboard push him the other way 196 cm is laf is number five Simon laf he’s quite mobile too he does get up for those boards as we’ve seen yeah super mobile he you know he’s very versatile too when he comes into this rapid League game play more of that post when he goes in the main game and he’s a little bit smaller vers some of those older bigger players he can go on out onto the wing and play That Swing role pooy looks for some space it’s cut down almost immediately Lewis poo sets the screen for him gets it out to Boucher back two toou Lis great ball movement just couldn’t execute Boucher with the put back let’s just play two people basketball between t Lis and beler there finding each other picking up each other’s rebounds for that too drives and gets the bucket too that was strong from CS that was strong and a great left hand finish outside of the defense there dunon onto the court for the fight Le just didn’t put enough on the edge of that shot one onone Bouch it to Tang Val and then it’s tipped so Lewis comes up with the ball goes quickly greenel on the edge unable to get the buzzer beater so 10 points to eight the Manoa 2 Jets currently leading the toong of fire two-point game and it’s been relatively even it has and it’s been super fastpac both teams really trying to get themselves into the paint being very aggressive I’m to giv away from good looks for both teams early and very close right now not much separating the too and all you have to do is text 4227 at the moment the Jets are shooting 42% from the field the fire just 37% and making that you can keep your free throws at the moment as well for the fans 4 for your chance to shoot at half time in the NL game to spin and win up to 5 don’t forget the Sky Broadband rapidly because it’s nice and fast for 4 minute quarters s some fast fiber to for just $30 a month for the first 3 months lot of package deals you can get there too with sky and Sky Broadband so the fire with first position in their hot pink see if they can get hot with their shots dunon gives it back to Thompson kicks it out to greenel who’s wide open again he’s got a high shot this time falling short again great rebounding from the Jets oh good hands there from the fight to get it back yeah Dunson got his T to all ball as well green Z back to Dunson the man who got the turnover and he adds the points too one end to the other right he deserved that shot he did the work defensively to get the ball for his team and he finishes the job for them as well at the options around the edge on the outside off the perimeter and again a miscommunication and not for the first time between the Jets players yeah just a bit slippery there but really just need to tidy these positions up we know this rapid League game is fast we know it’s quick you don’t have manying positions so when you have it you need to maximize try to get at least a great look at the basket every time you can Anderson onto the court for the five jet Thompson with the bounce pass and that is another tough finish from D great set up there great Spain screen the defense tried to collapse in but we’re just too late and great delivery off that on ball great injection into the game from dunon experienced man in this team shot clock is at 5 Seconds forced to put up the shot it’s Wayward to the right hand side so CH Thompson wants to go quick back in the hands of Thompson seemingly no space in there behind the behind the back pass didn’t quite work out they read it did the Jets wanted to go quickly that one as well missing the room yeah great defensive positions from Jayden Bel on those last two trips just short on that three ball but beler he just dos all the intangible things they might not come up on the St sheet but you know he plays great defense was able to wall up there played great defense on Campbell Scott before that by just doing a great job keeping the Jets out of looks they want well the ball ricocheted off the back of the glass there and we commend laf on his offensive boards this time couldn’t quite get that one H Hoy gets it to bouer to to Lewis with such Pace as well he ran onto that ball and spun around ever so quickly yeah he does but then just almost made his mind up before he even read that play kind of thought the defense was going to go for that up fake good steps before they could even move hustle being shown on Cs and he does draw the foul too so that’s another trip to the Kem Warehouse free throw line fight yet to shoot any free throws two Jets getting two more shots there yeah look at that take he’s had a couple Great Looks on his left already in this game we saw him finish one early and that one able to draw the foul by number four jonty CS when some free fuel who doesn’t like free fuel with the cost of fuel these days scan that QR code you can go in the draw to win fuel as well as other prizes fight with the onepoint lead at the moment just disrupted Again by the Jets it’s a little bit messy at the moment in the second quar isn’t it yes it is a little bit messy great vision from cows beautiful reverse shot from laf did a lovely per underneath and finally found some open space right and threw a lot of five hands as well block coming in from behind as well from cows that time let’s check that out on replay look at him stiffing through all those Defenders three fire shirs around him doesn’t matter he is too strong in there so T of the B all of that time up and great defense from the five yeah really good pressure there and the Jets you know the rest of the team was down the floor they didn’t recognize that their point guard was in trouble didn’t come back to help Lewis well there’s plenty of green jerseys in there and he’s pleading with the referee for a foul is not going to get it so KS wants to go quickly gets it out wide and in fact it’s to he’s lost the ball though to to Lewis trying to hustle and get that ball back yeah great scramble from the F there cuz the Jets looked like they were you know going to get a great shot C’s asking if they’re shooting don’t think so don’t think they’re even close to being in the bonus yet oh he’s substituted for his teammate subing on number 14av looking for options at the moment lafet drives takes some massive steps there and gets it straight into hot boy a little bit messy again there’s been plenty of loose balls and Lewis fires the three knocks it down and caught a player timeout 11 seconds left take a look at this just great set feet there a rhythm shot he will knock that down 90% of the time he is good from Beyond The Ark and the fire just called themselves back in front will the Jets be able to finish with a great set play here here getting the ball two here Crystal love faia for me is you know the most dangerous player on the court right now just too much attention to him there the F able to jump on it they were reading my mind they knew it was going to him well it was the quick switch wasn’t it on defense when he went around instead of sticking to man on as soon as he came close he double teamed him and force that turnover so it’s 5 Seconds now for the five to see if they can extend their two-point lead heading into the half Lewis gets it to voucher 3 seconds left on the shot clock Lewis puts it up and a waste of position I would say that they couldn’t quite find supposed to do there yeah it was looking like it was going to be a really nice flip screen but tii Lewis you know is known for taking those last second shots he’s known for being aggressive and Score first Boucher doesn’t always look to take those last second shots so not a dumb decision by the Jets to come off him and really give a lot of attention to TI there trying a little payback for that position before that the fight had against the Jets as we look at these chem Warehouse stats leis six points LA Six Points they’re leading the way for both of their teams and some solid contributions also for the Jets but they need some more people contributing for them LA on the boards we already spoke about it he is looking very strong around the rim seven rebounds for him that is a lot for a rapid League game first half and then assist Thompson with three he’s had some very nice looks out of the pick and roll greens with one and laf with one D with the block we saw IND a three as well and some steals three a piece for both teams a TI a lead change obviously the first quarter was 10 points to eight to the jet4 to the five so it is close and that’s exactly what you want and as we mentioned it is the last game of the year for this SP team and these R players will be wanting to put their best foot forward see is next year to consider as well as the game coming up next too yeah and that’s a great point you know this is their last chance to kind of prove themselves and they’ll be off contract going after this game so they’ll be trying to prove themselves to their coach you know show that they potentially deserve to come back and be in the squad again and you know potentially also to other coaches out there watching these players and this is like I said their last opportunity to put it out there against Some solid competition everyone say fight fans say well the fight fans are certainly there at the moment kingy getting them up everybody say h where was your ho Crystal yeah know I am loving the five fans I’m loving that pink wig over there as well but yeah awesome to see the local communities get out and around these teams and the f is only going to keep growing from here absolutely lafa again under the rim this time he can’t hit the buet but he will go to the K Warehouse free throw line nice little head fake on there really got the defense jumping just so smart from him at the line is number five Simon lafa Eli six years trip so trailing by one now boy one on one dishes it off to Le who bu quickly he’s got such a quick trigger and laf with yet another board you mentioned seven boards some people don’t even get that in a game a b game of basketball yeah no he is dominating the boards right now as we see him just turn it over there but yeah he is just so strong around the room he does such a good job he reads the game so well but the Jets really need someone else to start stiffing up for them and being aggressive to score boy dashes it off to Thompson very very jammed up in there with jets jerseys a bit of contact there but no whistle you know I I kind of like that call because CS was off balance going into that step he really got into the body of the defender but honestly I think he just tripped let’s watch it on replay see if what I’m thinking is right yeah he just it looked like he just tripped on himself on H toly going with that one so I like the no call from the ref there Thompson brings the ball up courau Anderson gets the ball back to Thompson and then intercepted by Lai he just it back off to Greens just wanted to go too quickly to Tong of the fou gets caught up in that screen and it’s a high shot and eventually in the arms of the Jets good attack from toou there so aggressive tried to get it high but just couldn’t get it to go as we see C’s line on up and there is the man again with another rebound but turns it over Thompson just getting a hand to that one when Rafael was looking the other way Thompson with that right foot step the handles back to Thompson from Green Sil deep three just Ricochet is off the back of the rim will be the jits ball for the two doing a great job of getting to their pick and roll trying to explore out of it just can’t connect on some of their looks right now both teams shooting at 33% quite low the five six from 18 and the Jets four from 12 so the five certainly getting plenty of looks Campbell Scott this time in the paint and greens still with the foul yep great take from Scott he’s one person that I think can really dominate dominate at this rapid League level we saw him at the start of the Season check out this replay great spin grenzo definitely got his hands in on that one but yeah Scott dominated at the start of the Season see when their point guard rentoy went out with injury and he really filled that point guard role for this Jets team in that main game and he looked very strong to them he ran the show he made great reads he was aggressive to score when he gets in that mindset he’s really hard to stop so hopefully this can start that for him a tie ball game and who else turns the ball over none other than laf and then he gets his pocket picked as well and a great finish coming in from dun just getting a little bit casual coming through the defense with it some of these turnovers are definitely unforced and yet another one it’s just ball protection for both teams not looking after it when they’re dribbling it or bringing the ball up caught a bit casual as you say yeah definitely and you know teammates need to help them out get them free give them some options let just get the ball you know out of this really you know sporadic defense attention leis so sporadic as you say there and eventually he gets that ball up Anon I love that little move little punch step little pull back through the legs hesy get by him and to the rim T is showing out he’s showing us what he has got in his bag check it out again step back little hay by you give me two he’s like a pocket rocket like he is just all guns blazing he this he’s always on 100 yeah he is and it’s really hard for coaches to be mad at Players like that even if he makes mistakes he’s trying his hardest right so you just at least you know what you’re going to get from him every time and that is definitely 100% effort lovely three ball from tutal basket number three Josh Tut and greo goes up he blocked as well yeah he baited him for that one setting his feet out in the corner but unable to convert and will be back in the arms of the Jets that three just fell short and basically bounc into the arms of dunon 15 seconds left on the clock about it what will he do touches it to Lewis they use up every second here Lewis drives gets it to greenzone just a miscommunication on the pass so 2 seconds left yeah lafy did a great job on defense there he was you know the defender on the screener and he just totally took him out of the way need to get this shot up and unsuccessful there so three quarters in and it is 20 points to 19 the five holding on to their lead and only just one point the difference four minutes left in the season for the fire in their rid League team of course the Jets will play the sharks in the weekend for Theo holiday king So at the moment it’s Tois leading the points scoring with eight with seven for the Jets rebounds on eight College 9:00 a.m. to 300 p.m. from $60 just scan the bar Cod that is on there for you if you can field goal percentage letting the Jets down 27% at the moment yeah that was a very low scoring quarter I mean the F only had four points in there Jets only had five they started the game really hot the Jets got up to a 10-point start the fight had eight so really cut it in half for both teams there let’s see if they can get hot with this last quarter coming and Scott really just grabbing at that left rib hopefully he’s okay I think what it is to both teams is they’re both trying to push the pace and the accuracy is going out the window when they’re doing that yeah we did see a lot of turnovers in that quarter so definitely need to try to clean that up and that’s the hard thing about reford League too is coaches can’t call timeouts they can’t pull their players in and you know give them some more Direction players kind of just have to figure it out themselves that’s why it’s so good to have experien players like dunon on the court for the fight and really for the Jets too just to talk to their team as that’s a really good shot coming in from K Scott you you said it too he needed to stand up and he said doing that yep and he did and he you know did a little Flex with his eyes you could see him with this Stone Cold face vouer for the three we’ll see if that calls on stin for the RP well D him with the push in the back not sure which way this one’s going yeah I think it’s yeah it’s on St and I think I agree with that one he had both arms around him for sure F will have another opportunity here down by one 3 minutes left in the game and in this season voucher gets it back to Thompson no way through the green wall but unfortunately just hip chicked him yeah that’s tough the Jets are not happy about that call I mean he was set but he did get him on the hip and you know as a Defender you have to step up and take him in the chest otherwise you know that’s going to be a foul call it’s going 5050 10 seconds left on the shot clock Anderson gets it back to Lewis Le trying to find some space fakes gets it out to Boucher for three just leaves it short o I would have thought that that was a shot clut recing right and then he say no hold up I’m changing my mind I’m going with a foul I think everyone’s a little bit confused at the moment that it will be a Jets SP tough call perhaps Scott gets it to lafel stin turn as well onto the court no one crashing the boards for the jet so it bounces up forly for the fight toy Lewis with the quick foot back nice play and transition right you knew where he was going as soon as he got the ball and Campbell Scott didn’t want to be put on the post just gets out of his way Thompson gets a hand to that pass but it’s still with the Jets voucher onang Val good defense thus far going for the shot stepping back for the three going in and out of the room you got to hate those ones yeah you do but great recognition from stin as we see to two for three can’t get it to go we s St you know put his toes behind that line made sure it wasn’t a long two just calling for some movement there was Campbell Scott falling short there to was turn great decision from Bel just a tip it to his teammate as we see make another good one great little dish the fast break layup nice finish from Anderson to and vision from B just to get it to him instead of going up himself yeah as soon as we as soon as he caught it you saw quick hands great decision by the five just to move it around and get a great look under the basket good differences three Greensville hustled hard but wasn’t enough it will be the Jets with the inbound right did he just run off the bench for that checks in the game gets down there and immediately appra this defensive pressure so we’re just over a minute left to play in this game the fight the home team with the lead they’ll be wanting to finish the season on a high in the rapid and the Sal NBL which is coming up after this La got high but Hao just did enough on defense a long ball going over the vision from jet to Adam dunon very good just too casual from the Jets you know I don’t think many of those players were running back 100% they were kind of just jogging and just not enough awareness we see Scott barrier three he knows the time he knows the score and he’s trying to Hype his teammates up come on we have 45 seconds to get this job done only down by two you can see him trying to get that team up fired that three knocked it down yeah and that’s a great look for great decision Jets really need to find some energy jet Thomson does well to draw the Whistle Too so he’ll take a trip to the kemas warehouse strike another tight game between these two teams last time they played there were only three points in it this time it’s looking to be the same type of game Thompson don’t forget coming up after this we also have the sales NBL game tip off at 7:30 plenty of these players will be featuring of course being the last game for the fight in the inaugural season which has been very impressive Thompson hooking two with that attemp the Chemist Warehouse Stripes so it leaves the door open for the Jets to potentionally tie the game will take the lead and he will pick up a foul too Thompson yeah that is tough I mean you hate missing free throws at any point in the game but at this point in the game you really don’t want to be missing them and that will be on his mind hopefully he can shake it and they can pick up a defensive stop here about 10 seconds difference between game clock and shot clock Scott trying to work something out LS that ball in to lafaa the bounce pass out and he banks the three out on the edge clutch play coming in from Sten that is a very good play and Sten is a very experienced player who was waiting to knock that down I like how they go to the Twan game here between Scott and lafa and then laf drawing so much attention around that Rim able to find St out on that three oh tough well we saw it at the end of the first half where they double teamed L ear every time he showed glimpses of a drive and so as soon as he knew he was going to commit those players he got out to he was waiting out on the wings and he he backed the ball right feet was set he missed one a little earlier from the wing but we know three balls in the corner is a shorter distance than three balls anywhere else so he wasn’t going to be short on that one again and knocks it down big moment here for the five potentially the last play that they will get this year we’ll see if it can end on a high note oh the crowd are getting fired up you can hear it 8 seconds left Thompson loses the handle 5 seconds left they need to get some kind of ball up they do through Lewis and he’s unable to get the three-pointer the Jets will celebrate that win they haven’t had very many in the Sky Broadband rapid league and just like the first game this one came right down to the wire but it was the visiting team the Manu jets with the win 27 points to 26 the fight they bow out of Sky Broadband rapid league for the season let’s take a look at the Kem boy house stats yeah great game from t l 10 points for him the only person in double digits in this ball game but look at that jet side with seven La he was so dominant throughout the game he had seven Scott stepped up late and contributed six LA on the boards with nine dominated that stat line Thompson with five and Scott with four each and assist Thompson he had those three in the first half greenel jumped up with two B with one in that second half blocks one per team steals look how many steals the Jets got and let’s be honest those were kind of just off a lot of turnovers in that game but the Jets in the end got the job done and that man right there Scott pulled them over the line when he got them hyped up after hitting that three some very happy jet supporters here as well and teammates a big congratulations to the Jets on getting the win here and congratulations to the fire on an outstanding first season in the Sky Broadband rapid league but do not go anywhere because at 7:30 we have the sales NBL game between the toonga and the manowa 2 Jets coming to you live from Mercury Bay Park to we’ll see you shortly the

before we go into the playoffs it is the toonga fight in their last game in the inaugural season hosting the manowa 2 jets in toonga I’m Taylor Johnson joining me is Crystal Ledger Walker what can we expect from both teams in this game yeah I think this is going to be a game when they lay it all out there this is the F’s last home game the Jets will want to be finishing on some highs so I expect

everyone is backing the fire only 10% in with the Jets that is very interesting as we take a look at the NBL ladder thus far and we’re pretty much locked in with the final six a lot has to happen for any other team to overtake the Nelson Giants we’ve always knew who the top five would be it was just W order the Rams and the Tata have secured one and two you can see the Jets there they’ll be desperate for a win tonight they don’t want to finish with a donut well on the end should I say they’ll be fighting for The Wooden Spoon but the South sharks coming up later in this round the toong ofi on seven wins very respectable for their first season yeah definitely I think they blew a lot of people away I mean they had some tough wins as we look at those games coming out next but think back to when they played the balls that crazy moment that Jan bant hit that three at home I mean they have a lot of games to remember and having the history books for them those games coming up as we already mentioned in the Jets they will back it up again on Friday at 6:30 against the Sharks the other games to feature as well are the nuggets and the Bulls the Saints and the Sharks and the ears and the Giants yeah and if the Jets can get a win here today and they get a win versus Sharks they’ll have three wins to their name so you know the Sharks and the Jets they’ll have three a piece exactly so they’ll be fighting not to get the wooden spoon let’s take a look at the starting five for the visiting team the property broker monoa two Jets Lane here J Richard and Lambert what have you made of this team this year yeah I love the way that the locals for the Jets play Jud lafa Scott they really do a great job and them showed out all season obviously we know what herin can do he’s been there he’s been around he’s showing up when he has to but yeah a lot of talent and I just love the way that these locals play hopefully they can get it done here tonight let’s hear what Mustafa Heron had to say ahead of the game Let’s Get It come on lose control off here um all away from um monu Jets um tonight you uh a little bit under man tonight um as you come into the last game for the five team how you guys feel tonight uh feeling good um it’s always the next man up mentality anytime somebody goes down it’s time for somebody else to step up so that’s that we talked about that earlier this morning so that’s our mentality the thing about it is Mustafa you’ve been probably the you know the main lead you know with scoring for the last couple years years um what are you guys going to expect from the five basketball team tonight oh a team that great basketball team they make plays they make plays for each other they have individual guys that can make plays so we’re just going to try to uh you know stop them on every possession take one possession at a time and hopefully come out with a win all right good luck tonight Mustafa thank you brother all that doesn’t great to hear the thoughts of the playing group now let’s take a look at the starting five for the toong of fight and what will be their last game of the season and it’s at home it’s bazette perun Brook and K A lot of really good kiwis here in this team too yeah a lot one of my favorite players is jadden vzan he is so silky smooth I fell in love with his game when I watched him play three on three oneon-one he can break anyone down I’m excited to see what he pulls out of his bag tonight well we caught up with Phil Carr ahead of the game Let’s Hear His Thoughts car for five basketball your first inaugural year here it’s going to be a pack Stadium tonight you know to watch you guys end off the season how are you guys going to play against the monat Jets uh you want to come out strong like you know like obviously in the back of your mind at the bottom of the table but you still want to find motivation to just give these crowd one last good hurah to go out right so the thing about it is Phil you you’ve kind of led the team in double doubles the whole year and you had a lot of leadership uh you’ve got a great Management in um you know um with the five management um what do you have to say to the five supporters that have supported you guys the whole year uh we just greatly appreciate it man cuz you know like it’s an Aug season it’s kind of in a sense you never know what you want to get but you always want winners and I feel like we’ve um we’ve kind of met some expectations um and just hopefully we just brought some type of basketball like culture started something right on the right foot coming into this year good luck for tonight bro thank you thank you take a look at at the chemoth warehouse head-to-head with the stats of this game and last time these two teams made it was very close they only won by two points did the fight yeah the last time these two teams played it was close one person that really stood out to me in that game was toui leis that was his Breakout game he hit 23 points in that one so I’m looking for him to step up tonight but as we look through these stats pretty even points in the paint pretty even three-point shooting did on the game field goal attempts you know the Jets have a few more than the five but still pretty even so I’m looking for this to be a tight game tonight we’ll see who can shop who can bring the energy and who can pull this one out cuz as we just saw in the rapid League game it could come down to one possession absolutely looking forward to this game let’s now check in with our mates at the tab and T McDougall has some thoughts for us sh fre throws K Taylor well it’s the first game of the final week of competition and the FI will be looking to finish their first ever season on a high note with a win over the manowa 2 Jets now as you can see they are the favorites to win tonight and both teams have a lot of players returning from injury so they’ll be very happy about that especially manow 2 they’re still searching for their first win since April whereas the five well they’re just looking to go out with a bang so if you have a hunch that the fire could really put it on for the home crowd tonight and have the highest SC in quarter that’s paying $140 on the tab app whereas for the Jets that’s paying $260 so download the app give it a go do so responsibly and let’s get this first round underway first game of the final round as T mentioned and it is the last game for the five they’ll be soaking up everything on this court K Brooks had a scratchy change I just saw him with bright pink now he’s gone blue right matching the uniforms Ken’s also wearing a green ha TR to match his uniform I love when players you know match their whole fit get the shoes going everything to suit always a great opportunity to to take the ball out onto the court for tip off right there the crowd cheer him on as he okay exits the court five supporters are you ready so we’re underway in the first game game of the last round of the sales NBL for 2024 both teams out of contention for the top six but still plenty to play for the Jets not wanting to finish last Mustafa Heron lets one fire early doesn’t get there and quick to tidy up hard the fight car hunt bant with the ball now with a silky smooth shot just pulls up short yeah great ball movement early from the f Jets really just trying to get through this stuff passing that ball into the paint getting up to tough finish and good first bucket for the Jets yeah very strong finish down low for the Jets as we all know the F have struggled defending bigs so Jets can really expose that it’ll be a great look from them oh my goodness what a way to open the game open the scoring for the five it open up like the Red Sea there for Demarcus Holland right car spoke about it in that pregame chat good one last hura that definitely was it getting up and first bucket being a dunk the F crowd are in for a real pleasing match I’m sure as we heard Phil car say they want to really show out for the fans an inaugural season take a look here getting up for that slam that’s the way to open a game Lane inbounding that ball finds Richards back to Lane the suffer here and their top scorer this year tries to get their ball out Brooke with the block early as well impressive on offense and defense in the opening stages of this game the fight yeah Dam Brook such a great block from him there he was a great get for the fight I said it earlier they were missing you know that big presence inside once samingo went out signed another contract they brought him D Brooke and he’s been great for them unable to convert there were the Jets Brooke getting a hand to was hering but he reather bant car trying to muscle his way through and just passing the ball straight into the basket of Mustafa herin and with the Finish j a great strong finish then went right up through the body made it look easy car thought about the three and went against it perro Hut finds Holland in the corner Banks a three and he has had a fantastic start to the game he has in a great look from Cruz parro hunt to get it there for him good Vision defense just collap appear hunt able to pick the right person Z there good defense and for that one just in and out for K Ken fires a three-point shot that one also short one thing we know about Mustafa hearing is he’s going to let it fire regardless of whether he feels comfortable he just always gets that ball flight y he knows that this Jets team need him to score when he gets going he can get going but early just looking a bit short as the five too strong in that layup Lane wants to go quickly in transition lays it up beautifully and just got the nice roll off his fingertip yeah great Little Euro Step get around the defense there one two out to a great start Holland looking for his options gets it out to Brooke Brook for three and it’s good nothing but NP for Den Brook yeah the fire fired up for short knocking it down Holland giving the little binocular celebration there Lane looking for some movement Jud is there goes himself South Lane and Brook again has having a block party in the first quarter wanting to go quick on transition to are the fight said they slow it down oh look at that mismatch down low he calling for it to was C didn’t get there bazant back out to Brooke can he go back to back oh just Falls little bit short on that Rim firing that pass away down court with the Jets Brook through his body on the line will be a fire ball to inbound everybody say fire that’s us Willam that’s us let’s go come on bar injection into the game to for lafa we just saw him come on to the court yeah he was outstanding in the rapid League game got it done all over the boards for the Jets I like that Lambert got a start for the Jets though he’s a local I watched him at Secondary School Nationals last year and he dominated that competition so we see car just short on that knuckle shot Lane with that silky bounce pass through to laa ear and again Brock just tapping the ball out defensively he’s having fun tonight yeah he is he’s getting after it I liked that pocket pass from Lance LA on that drive we know he’s strong lafa with the pump F but he just couldn’t get there in the end tided up by K here goes Holland P hunt bant what about going and then Jes the ball off back to Holland pulls up for the jump shot and it’s good yeah nice little Fade Away of the one foot Holland doing a great job of getting himself into the paint early hin gets the foul was K reaching in there in for the number 13 to Lewis just heard there coming on to the court to toy Lewis he shot well in the skybo band rapid League game the score there if he just joined us was 2726 to the Jets they got a good win over the home team great handles being shown there by Holland just getting rid of Lane Lewis car for three at the top of the perimeter and it’s money yeah car getting it done early he gets it done for this fight team with his scoring and his rebounds look at that little pass and beautiful finish by J they one in the same both of those players you know they play really well off each other cuz they both rebound they both make same sort of decisions let’s watch it on replay draw that defense he knows he had to get it outside of his body cuz he’s already seen den and Brooke blocked Two Shots early in this game so great decision with the little hook over the ri was a good pass to the vision from Lane to find laa ear and again that little pop pass to recognize that there was Defenders there catch them flat footed and then that hook shot finish from great look from the Jets down five in this ball game they need to start putting it together on the defensive end the F just getting looks they’re too easy for them we know that the fight all like to shoot the three ball we know they’re aggressive to get to the rim jet just going to make it a bit harder both together all sides and you came to everybody say that’s what I’m talking about at the moment that’s what we’re here to do today yes yes yes yes yes yeah one step that’s really showing out to me already is Philip K has five rebounds in this ball game you know he’s a double double machine and he’s on track he’s already halfway there with the rebounds and we’re not we’re only just halfway through the first quarter come on fans everybody and true to form the fired up chant goes out around round yes this Arena last time for the fire at home and for the 2024 Sal be season can they pull out a win toi Lewis wants to Aid with that knocking down his first three of this game yeah that’s something that the Jets are going to have to fix and fix quick that’s the second time that the FI have been able to stretch that defense and catch them staying too long in the pain J Pops that pass through to laa it’s gy from him to go one onone on Brooke but he gets over the top yeah strong body just moved him out of the way bullied himself to the basket haven’t seen perah hunt put up many shots in this first quarter Holland with the spin move Lewis going for backto back triples can’t get there and I think Mustafa Heron picked up the foul there just blocking D Brook yeah a little bit too much on that box out but I like that the Jets are mixing it up on defense we saw them start in a little Zone then go to a man late to convert it to stop same shot for tou Lewis can’t get it to go his confidence is certainly there just wasn’t able to execute the last couple of three three attempts Jud and leis getting the foul yeah good recognition from Jud there saw that Baseline open up took advantage and to toi just a little bit too late just too much body on that defensive position M gets it into Heron and travel is the call and he doesn’t like it you deemed the wrong foot as toot right tough there and you know sometimes when you’re a little bit too fancy and you your footw is too fancy it’s too fancy for the refs and they can’t you know tell what you’re doing and which foot went down first and all that so good hustle coming in from Stant for the Jets he gets that steel lafa with a bit of contact from Lewis certainly holding his own being the slighter frame there and what a reverse finish coming in from lafa yeah he is so strong so tough to stop and he likes that match up from the start he was going at it Holland so good to start this game nice way to get around the defense and finish that one off he looks so smooth too just a nice curved angle around the defense and put it up almost effortlessly Aon just losing his footing there tidying up his Jud shot clock running out 3 seconds left gets the pass away Lane used up every second in that shot clock wasn’t going to get there oh that is a tough call I I thought that car had that yeah st’s arm was Tangled Up in there but it did look like he had all ball and that really sucks cuz the F had a great defensive position before that they worked really hard CAU the Jets all the way down in the shot clock took a really tough shot yeah just couldn’t come up with the ball in the end so get another opportunity here the Jets they Trail by six oh back CAU maybe a little bit of Justice there Crystal that is what you call Karma right there yeah absolutely B of basketball Justice there Unfortunately they will wipe the court too and check that out on replay just studded to that line unfortunate for the Jets Holland miscommunication to B who’s just kicked into the court just didn’t quite get enough on that pass to Bel you can see the intention there to switch Direction unfortunately the execution of the pass wasn’t on from Holland to Bel yeah beler the great rebounder that he is was probably trying to go follow up J from outside the perimeter hooy gets the rebound Holland thought about going quickly decided to wait for his teammates to sit a lot of ball movement happening with this by team shot clock just under 10 seconds now car another mismatch under the hoop I believe it’s Jad who picks up the foul yeah that’s a great option to go to we see car with Lane on him he definitely has a size advantage and that close to the rim you got to get him the ball cuz even if he doesn’t score he’s going to draw some Defenders and L just can’t guard him by himself number and minute 22 seconds left in this first quarter six points the difference the five with the lead come on we were just waiting a moment for that beat to drw yeah just going to say that we’re just waiting for Timmy trumpet and Savage to get the game underway again bant such a high shot there unfortunately just hold off the r and the referee’s whistle has gone here yeah I think that was a fon he just reaching from behind yeah that’s tough for him two fouls already not ideal so obviously we’re still just in the first quarter but I like the way the fight is moving the ball around their shots aren’t dropping right now but they will come as this game progresses they’re moving it from side to side and that’s making the defense move as well we see good defense from bazant there just a force Lane out of bounds great speed of pass coming there from B to unlock perro hunt you don’t want him to get hot outside that perimeter right Cruz P hunt looking at the sponsors tables like that one was for you see you again next year and that’s why you sponsor us is what he was saying we’ve got the ball back too good hustle going to go again and car just bats that ball back but unfortunately it bounces into the hands of Lane seems to have recovered from the tumble he took Richards little bit of indecision he ran just wanting to dash the ball away Lane goes up against hop boy size difference if I’ve ever seen one right hop boy tried to swallow that block just there but great decision from the Jets get it into the point guard’s hand who has the big Center on him give him space to go create as we take a look at this replay of Cruz Pirro Hunt’s three cash me gotcha nice looking shot from him Lan the man from New Jersey who came down to P quite definitely oh pressure on here miss twice get a slice the crowd in Mercury Bay Park arena really getting up and free slices the pizza you surely they can’t count that one it wasn’t him two slices of pizza and the Jets still get the putot back everyone wins need to go deep into the te’s and seas triples for parrot hunt at the moment and what a way to end that first qu an emphatic end take a look at it he went quickly out on that edge he was already set and that’s money so after the first quarter it’s a 10-point lead for the toonga 24 points to 14 over the mon two Jets on my code is at Sal’s Pizza at the mount Sal’s Pizza at the mount and it’s only available for tomorrow so just remember the online

night from 10 p.m. through no my hook my welcome back to toong at where is the home team the five with a 10-point lead over the Jets and as you can hear they are fired up at the moment we heard Phil car ahead of the game say they want to do one last fura for this team and for the crowd remember this was their first year in the competition and to get a loyal fan base so quickly it’s really remarkable watch your game while eating a $30 large pepperoni pizza it is valid until next Tuesday a whole week worth of discounted pizza so take a photo of that QR code and use it throughout the week those are great finds the fire really jacking up shots from that spot we see we saw Cruz hadit a couple from there earlier oh herin with the Little Euro Step through the lane one two excuse me thank you he was quiet in the first half as well didn’t see he saw one basket from him car H with the no look pass to bant and the bounce pass so threading that on a string was Brooke but just couldn’t capitalize in that corner got two threes from there beforehand per hunt Ken with a deep two and his money nothing but net there as well yeah he’s really getting himself going in this second quarter he had some good looks in the first but just couldn’t connect but now that he’s seen it go in a few times no he’ll be aggressive for his shot ban almost lost his footing went for the long range two-pointer and then just firing that ball away were the Jets and then with the reverse what a fast break point there for the Jets yeah great hits up play from Scott I’ve loved watching his game this season we saw him take on a bigger role when their point guard went out just off from bant but yeah Scott did a great job of stepping up for his team when they needed him really running the show heren with the three-point play look at the flex from two tal on the bench too that brings them right up to just a two-point difference they trailed by 10 a minute 40 seconds ago yeah great start from them and definitely a timeout needed by the F check that out on replay got the deep iner and himself off balance doesn’t matter he knows how to put the ball in the hoop we’ll see how the F can adjust and try to shut him down Nat will be very happy with that start to the second quarter remember there without James MO is a 206 CM forward he was he’s the second best scorer for the Jets he’s got an ankle injury at the moment also without Loy crate who was in the New Zealand under 17’s team we spoke about him on hoop heads you can see that at w yeah tomorrow night 6:30 what a squad they under 17 team and I mean players from all across this league you know competing the rord league game have had experience in this mainly going up against International Imports world class players it was just such great preparation to lead them into that World Cup and for that stage everyone in New Zealand especially the basketball Community are very proud of that under 17 team a huge feat to be fourth in the world considering all those countries with millions of millions of people who play in the fever and to come away as fourth this with with that little small 5 million people is incredible yeah no it was a great great effort by those boys definitely did us all proud just showed what little old New Zealand can do when we are given a chance so locky crate will be celebrated when he returns to Pal North here and capitalizes on that three-o play beforehand so now the points difference is just one we remind you it was 10 at the half I haven’t registered a point just yet and putting a foot out of bounds as well as Holland so it’s just going from bad to worse at the moment for the fight yeah as Holland was great to start the first quarter came out with nine points but since the Jets have gone to that zone good things have been happening for them if the F can’t start to heat up from outside start trying to find other ways to score Scott looking for his options there by the pass out to Lambert just bounces off the rim and car tiddies up with the board bant has SC on her hunt loves just waiting out in the wings there drives himself though and just a lovely soft touch on the end yeah he’s great out of the pick and roll he makes great decisions know he has a lot of experience running that point guard roll former tall black Heron with the footwork steps around and then hustling as well Richards with the ball so they get another opportunity the Jets Mustafa Herod couldn’t get that three-point what can they do quickly great ball movement it goes back to per hunt started to just cool off on that perimeter he was hot for a minute have a very pretty ball movement great teamwork great recognition between the five Scott takes up the foul on Hunt per hunt for the knee subing in for the JS is number five Sim so at the moment the Jets shooting at 45% they are yet to get a three-pointer they 0 from Seven can they break that oh they cannot B like let me see that give it back to me let me go at Scott because he just got me with a nice little step back of B he’s like man I know all those tricks gets himself to the line first trip to the line two for the F and it’s come in the second quarter for Jets number 15 and it’s good to see players like bazant come to the fire he is homegrown let’s not forget his Junior Association was toong and went to St John’s in Hamilton played two seasons at the Jets actually in 2020 and 2021 so for him establishing this team would have meant a lot yeah I love what the f have done in this first year I love that they’ve got Matt Lac and to coach you know he’s had success right d New Zealand he had a lot of success at the high school level we on to coach some age group New Zealand teams and he knows what it takes and I think he really deserved you know this next step in his career then he’s brought in players like bazant some locals that that the locals can get behind he’s brought in some of his high school players Cruz Carro hunt jadden beler who can really build that culture you know buy into it really get everyone else on board and yeah the next big step for them we’ll be finding a big man to back this team up because yeah when Singa went out they struggled and that was really their only downfall all year so a lot of great things for this SP team and a great little blog Dan Brook is loving the block party right now that guy is but that’s the thing about his game is he looks for it he enjoys it you know he almost baits people into giving that shot up because so quick at getting up right let’s check it out again too much time in the air for denim Brooke has all the hang time in the world yeah he’s I said it earlier he was a great pickup for this team he’s had experience in the league you know no one picked him up he was kind of just hanging out for the start of the season and fight looked around they knew they needed someone inside and called his name so a lot of great things for the fight in this first year and I’m sure they’ll go back to drawing board and look for ways they can improve and they’re definitely going to be a franchise and a team to watch out for in the future it’s interesting right because car said we met expectations this year I actually think they exceeded the expectations they didn’t just meet them I mean as of last week they were still contenders for the top six and for a brand new franchise to be that close to making the top six they still have seven wins potentially it could go to eight tonight that’s huge for them no yeah it really is and let’s not forget they’ve faced some adversity all the Imports that they brought in weren’t the perfect fit they’ve had some injuries yeah a lot a lot a lot of good things happening there and they definitely deserve some pets on the B I personally can’t wait to see what the uniform looks like next year cuz I like all the strips at the moment how wait to see what the toi ones look like too and they might be a little bit bit different bazant gets it to C back in the hands of bazant 5 seconds left on the shot clock now K goes up for the jumper and then well short good defense from the Jets shutting down the options for cast Scot fires that pass to Jud lot of locals on the court at the moment for the SS team Scott for three hustling for the rebound but unable to get it was laf just trying to catch that ball behind him Wass car again that mismatch down low we’ve seen it multiple times but not capitalizing on it that time either deep two there had on the line oh good little box out by box out from the mismatch right someone else come get it cuz I’m holding this big man down but yeah great recognition opened up there for Lane but unfortunately he just couldn’t finish it bazant gets it to C Brook waiting in the wings just in the right place for oh the rebound there with Lambert Lambert has a great job of reading the game he works so well off the ball he’s versatile he can shoot the three as we see Scott does right there and he hit a big one in the rapid League game that potentially got the momentum going their way we’ll see if he can get some momentum for his team here as car tries to respond no one collected the rebound so as an offensive board perro hunt gets a second attempt this time Lane gets that rebound Campbell Scott calling his team back into this game Lane getting a hand tot was car and it will be the fire ball yeah right Call there I definitely thought that that came off Lane’s leg the check it out on the replay Scott three look very smooth popped back for that one J Thompson on to the court as well for the fight played well in the rapid League game as he always does that guard position there Holland shut down for him and plucking it out of the sky was hearing Lewis gets his hand to it just doesn’t enough to disrupt and slow it down yeah but he needs to be careful he already has two fouls in this game if he picks up a third that’s really dangerous for him the coach putting him back out there with some faith not to pick up another foul but we said you said it’s dangerous but we said earlier that guy does everything at 100 miles hour so he’s not going to slow down anytime soon it’s not really nominating themselves to go for 4 seconds left on the shot clock Holland with an unconventional shot right that was tough switched hands going up for that layup through a lot of Defenders but gets the roll he’s been really aggressive getting to the rim and has finished well St gets it to Heron not sure not sure who that foul was on just then either the stick gave himself a little high five I’m not sure if they counted E I think it was on Lewis you’re not like if it was on the ground or before the shot yeah so I think he caught it before he going for the shot here but is it for one or for two one that was a tough move though along the base through two I did count it I did think it was on to Lewis just when he was dribbling it but not the case but Lewis with three fouls the second quarter certainly give it 110% tonight Thompson oh good pass vision and the two Hand slam coming down from C2 yeah that was great work from the fight to get into the middle of that Zone open it up Lane with a three-point play and this could level the game basket number 15 for really showing out right now really breaking his Defenders down let’s check it out on replay Blows By thank you let me throw this one up get a chance at a three-point play this is one of the more aggressive games that I’ve seen him in you know he’s had some games where he’s happy to be that for facilitator but tonight he’s really come out with the mentality to score and just like that it is tie game and the five were with two minutes left in the second quarter they’ve only scored eight points disappointed with this car playing with Holland as well and he draws a foul will take a trip to the K Warehouse stripe just their second visit first one B present on number 67 Le fire the accuracy has dropped they’re on 38% shooting all the season they usually set it 43% which is 10th in the leag little a bit off in the second quarter but that one on target the vision was there it was the right move he was com of across but jet Thompson was there man on his body yeah preempted that pass a little bit too far in front jud’s arms aren’t that long in the fight get it back let’s go car for the Triple suffer heing gathers the ball for the Jets down by one goes himself hooy with a big block confidence booster yeah how good has hooy been for this five team Off the Bench he gives him such great minutes as we see Holland having a field day inside getting to that left hand side of the rim oh you talk about H boy how good were his two dunks last weekend against the Saints yeah he’s massive as we see almost get a hand in there and again just his body presence in there just disrupting the shots there from the Jets jet Thompson almost qu the put back as well H boy going for the three was J again accuracy just a little bit off for both teams in the second quarter 30 seconds left to play in the half about a 10-second difference with shot clock and game clock no core mat Lacy can’t believe it right they are really just letting them play right now very up and down look at that Jets coach with his arms out flying reminding that they have a player timeout if they want it oh no shot clock it’s all on the game clock 4 seconds left faked it and then H boy that is great defense can they finish no time is going to run out and just when they thought they had tricked the defense Bo says nuh-uh puts his hand back and still blocks it right he said you can get past me but my arms are still that long I’m not gone well that was a very interesting second half it is still the F with the lead that time it was the Jets Out scoring the fire in the second quarter 18 points to 11 but in total it is a fire still with the lead this time Cho down to three the 3532 over the Mana two Jets don’t go anywhere we will dissect that first half right after this soam I hope you have Tex 4 227 my what you know I know I am do welcome back to the sou it is halime here in the opening game of the final round round 16 and it is the toongi the home team leading the Mano with two Jets by 35 points to 32 a very tight tussle can see at the moment a tongen performance very E4 the GJ G the homes lead us into the Chemist Warehouse stats and us through the crystal yeah Holland has been so aggressive to get to the rim and you can see it there 14 points for him kin came out in that second quarter with a mission to score and he did just that with 10 points to his name Cruz perro hunt with eight points he hit some big threes rebounds look at her and car with eight each they’re officially on double double watch cleaning up the boards Holland has four of his own and a lot of contributions from the rest of the teams there Cruz with two assists Scott with one Li with one with one a lot of ones all over the place the assist count when the ball is moving it is looking good for both teams Big Blocks we saw the end of that half hopefully with the block from behind massive for the five four blocks for that team one block for the Jets hin has two steals stin has one and Cru one has one of his own he spoke about it earlier Taylor the points in the paint is the massive difference between these two teams right now the Jets 26 points Inside the Fire only 14 and at the moment the two Jets there only one from 11 Point area where the five hit six so that is another one too so they’re finding most of their points in the paint as we mentioned but don’t go anywhere because coming right up we will have the second half for you in this tight tussle the last game in the Sal NBL season for the toong ofi can they get a win to finish the season on a high or can the Jets upset them here at home yeah shella I like it giving out you purpose looking good at crisby we teach

so Block City BL City dinner that’s like three blocks like it let’s go friend let’s go five people St St welcome back to the sou NBA the to of five leading the M with two Jets by three and the half after the first quarter they had a 10-point lead but the Jets finally found their straps and climb back into this game and Crystal what did you make of that first half yeah that first half was two very different quarters the first quarter we saw the Fire come out leading the game with 24 points the Jets only had 14 that second quarter the M or two Jets really came out firing led by her and he was super aggressive to score they took over that quarter scoring 18 and hold the fight only to 11 points it’ll be interesting to see how the second half plays out and who comes out firing in this third quarter CU we’ll see who can get the momentum in this second half we know it was a tight game last time they played we’ll see if that’s another tight one tonight A lot of people still backing the by the home team only 10% believe that the Jets can get the win and we have seen them come close to taking that lead since the fire got it so how are you if you’re a bding person as well the tbds are looking pretty nice if you want to put your money on the Jets right come on surely there’s got to be more Jets at home watching this game the five fans are there we can hear them come on Jets get up and support your team uh Jets haven’t won since round two well maybe that’s why April 3rd the last time they got they need two wins from the last two games to avoid the wooden no I definitely think it’s doable they have had some super tight games they just haven’t been able to get it over the line but they’ll be looking to finish this season on a high you know how aggressive they were in that second quarter if they can keep it up for two more quarters lay it out there they’ll be in very good shape to walk away with the w tonight look at all those waves it’s a lot of M wave happening there is definitely a challenge going on there that we do not know about is that K PC rapping live no idea but this is why you’ve got to go to sales games winning free basketballs he is absolutely giving them a show not only do you get to come and watch basketball you get a little concert while you’re there we love it and their fan base is only going to continue to grow particularly if they keep putting out performances like tonight remember they picked up seven this year potentially eight for a new team that’s incredible yeah we saw it on the girls side with toah when they you know started their fight team the basketball in the area even at the Grassroots level has just lifted so great things to come and keep coming I’m sure as we see this second half get underway and the shot is good too from Jud cutting down that now it is just one what can the fire do in response good ball movement it’s in the center big rebound from K hunt with the one arm H that in but unfortunately it will turn over to the Jets yeah let’s check out that jumper on replay denim Brook had his hand right in his face did not matter J look good from the knuckle go go toore our first baset J has got his confidence up wants to go again this time it’s off the back of the riman looking for their first points of the third quarter and car just lost the ball there yeah has handled it the last two trips down the floor Jes that B off Lane step forward then step back Lambert the young 18yearold called for the ball didn’t get it ricochets into the hands of Holland he wants to go quickly he’ll do just that and that is how you go quickly man keep that man off his left hand he is killing it on that to the floor right nice at all behind the back there yeah a little no look at coming in from Richards herin trying to musle his way in lamber for three confident shot from the 18yearold yeah he had all the Time in the World to think about that one her and Drew a lot of attention on that post up again car just not being tough with the ball taken looking after that position yeah they’re really try to get it to him inside but they’re getting it to him with the defenses as we take a look at this three-pointer by Lambert looking good yeah they’re throwing car you know it’s a tough spot for them to catch it there’s a lot of Defense around him he just can’t get the ball up through them Richards hustles for the ball boun off foot of here get that pass to Lan good minutes here for lber as well out of the Manuka scho thought about the second attempt out of three spin movie as Brooke there tries to get up and under but just hits the backboard yeah tough shot from Land there as we see a great Drive yeah pet yourself on the shoulder that was a great take strong move from bant getting himself into the lane just beat of the chest coming in from bazant just being strong there head jot on him is oh he missed it on that GJ gu in a home replay but just hyping himself up sometimes need to be own hype man be love to see it it’s one of the great things being able to flex your muscles after a shot hype yourself up show it’s just celebrations still very close no team able to really pull away a 10-point lead ini lead the first quarter from the five but it’s been close ever since that shot was short there Jud hustled hard for the offensive board but p pounced on by the fight lovely spin move coming in from Holland he just got off balance so had to dish that pass out bamp Heron and Holland hustling for that ball Holland comes up trumps car waiting out in that corner for the three Jud just Tes and SS to get that rebound Ken to Lambert not looking at that mismatch inside b z marking the big Lane doesn’t follow his pass it might have been a push there not sure who that was on number eight on Lambert the GS number five Simon so it’s been a little bit flat this third quarter it was quite high energy in the first and the second at the moment the teams quite casual yeah and just not being able to finish possessions as we see didn’t Brook commit that offensive foul on the screen take a look at this replay of it yeah just get some caught up there anytime that leg is sticking out a little bit and the def and sorry the defense runs right into it the ref’s most likely going to call it an offensive foul that’s to be fair it has been a very tidy game we haven’t seen a lot of fouls not a lot of trips through the Kim Warehouse free throw line and they heard me and they said we actually want to go there now T right getting it done inside Richards he’s been really good for the man two jets in this game look at this big body move bump bump get off me I’m going to Clapp my face that’s my celebration Flex on him I’m strong give it to me down low they missed him a few possessions before this he had a mismatch on bazant but I don’t think his teammates saw him down there to take the lead the Mana two Jets now with the onepoint lead and it’s been a lowc scoring game at that to the two teams that do score the lowest amount of points in the season and it has been a tight tussle and both teams made to grind for every Point as we see a lovely hook shot coming in from P hunt and again made to work hard for it is this fire team so versatile these guards are so good at getting into the paint and creating good shots for themselves their bigs can step out and shoot it o did he step out of bounds I think he did he was going at 100 mph was Scot just put a foot out of bounds D Brock takes a seat to hoo on to the court Big Frame of his oh 205 cm of him ter H confident shot out on the wing extending the lead for the fight and well he hit two threes you know from a similar spot in the first half that right side corner three ball just looks and feels so good for Cruz Scott gets it to Richards at spin move and he will take a trip to the Kim wehous strip did well to draw that foul yeah I really really like him inside he’s super strong down there get him the ball let’s get car in some foul trouble we see him take a seat in the five g a little bit smaller with belche back in the game L Richards obviously a tour frame himself 2011 cm tall out of upold or toak it’s great seeing players in this league that aren’t from the traditional basketball schools I mean to to leis and also greensaw they went to n in Hamilton so it’s good to see the selectors are casting in far and wide right well NATA isn’t you know nationally known but locally I know as a Hamilton girl you know they really compete and I’m pretty sure they’ve won a lot of national titles in the small schools um Nationals at Secondary School level but you’re right they don’t have as much experience going up against these big bodies so it’s great to see them get into the NBL and really Thrive here leis speaking of the man just a little bit off with his radar in this game stopped a couple of points down but just starting to drift Scott though oh good rebound and hustle from Richard gets it back to Scott dishes it back to him unable to execute and execution being an issue for both teams but not for perah hunt and when he is on he is on get him the ball Great Stop behind the screen from him there 16 points in total now for perah huning Demarcus holl in this game Rafael did well to stay in court there and Richards just putting up the two right he got a little taste early felt really good bullying his way to the hoop and now he’s just going to it every time Holland was juggling that ball decides to quickly put up the shot flying in to get the rebound was laning big collision and the cour it’s going to go against lafa I think he might have even hit his back like they were just running down the court and Holland ran into him La is just a big frame let’s watch it on replay oh no he definitely didn’t stop take that back he definitely stopped we have cameras now these days and we definitely see those replays that’s tough really unfortunate turnover for the Jets cuz now the F have the ball right back in their half now able to get a good look that’s the thing the Jets were just cutting into that lead they took the lead at 1.2 and instances like that not helping their cuse whatsoever 1 second left on the shot clock ball throwing from bazant he had forgive him he just had to get that ball fired away Richards to lane lane D South STS back loses the handles hppo pounces on it Lewis he’s looking for his options at the moment pooy two on one hustling for the rebound was Jud getting the foul was HL Jud pulled that one in nice it strongly he’s not the tallest player out there but definitely makes for it with his work ethic jumping ability as we see that fuel deal on your screen again great thing about watching Sal NBL is you’re guaranteed to get some freebies and win some prizes or get some discounts your phones out scan that QR code see whiteo fuel is all around New Zealand not just in the mighty whiteo area lot of great people are from laf tries to make commends for his indiscretion earlier unable to do so bant hitting it at PACE accelerating the defense of the Jets was there perro hunt another triple that man has raining three shooting the lights out tonight right five threes from him he is lining it up from Deep five from nine for perah hunt he is leading the scoring for the fight tonight in their final game in the 2024 Soules nvl sa here and just losing his footing the correct call too yeah since Richards has gone out of the game for the Jets take a minute on my thought just there look at Cruz’s shot from three he’s got fans all over the place want to know who pahun is pointing to right someone let us know but anyways the Jets since Richards has gone out of the game they’ve gone to that screen the screener action really trying to get heing the ball on that low block but the F have been really key in on it fighting through those screens so it’ll be interesting to see if the Jets stay with it or if they’re drawing something up that’s new amazing for this time out Mustafa herin is the top scorer for the Jets in fact he’s in the top 10 in the league and he’s been kept to 10 points look at Richards the top Point scorer at the moment for the Jets only on 12 so defensively the F have been doing a better job than what they have throughout the season yeah they really have herin averages 21.9 points so if they can keep him down and make some someone else step up for the Jets that’s a really great thing for the F but Cruz been electric for them 19 points to his name in these first three quarters and Casey Frank in his matchup said Holland and herin was going to be a good one and I do think that Holland is currently winning that battle yeah he SED the game so well although herin is no you know for his late game execution and I thought he was in for a six there her hunt spurted with the rim and unfortunately went out here the fake from Scot up and under that was beautiful he steps up for this team when they need him the most and he showed it just then the pace as well and just the quickness of the ball movement to get under underneath and then fire that shot up very hard to defend the little bounce pass from Thompson to car good interplay between the teammates yeah great little pocket pass there very easy shot for C he likes that in Rhythm sent onto the court for the Jets and unfortunately it’s out of bounds Bel just doing vouer like things intangibles playing hard defense getting his hands in between that handoff getting the turnover for his team car the top of the key Thompson with a quick release Heron though grabs the ball and we’ll bring it up for for the Jets fire it out wide out on the wing and Jud gets the three ball 5 seconds left in this quarter there’s going to be no player timeout C an intercept almost happened ter hun for three well away and so it’s a fourpoint difference now take a look at this shot here big shot to in the scheme of the game coming in from Jud 4 so after the third quarter 30 minutes in to this game the toong ofi still holding on to their lead by Four Points 52- 48 coming up the last quarter for the toonga fight in their season will they hold off the Jets of all they rain on their parade find out after this we got a basketball we got a basketball okay we need just a b anyone a b hey can I B your feel s find I basketball I basketall Cheers Cheers okay so I want you

they currently lead at 52 points to 48 Taylor Johnson joining me crystal Ledger Walker your last opportunity in this game to get a large pepperoni pizza take a photo because that last b a week Crystal if you are the fire coach Matt Lacy you’ll be pleased with that but also what would you have said in that last huddle yeah just staying aggressive looking for our shots they’ve had great ball movement just haven’t been able to connect on all of them but they are moving it very well and they need to keep playing good defense especially on that go with the ball right there Heron cuz he can get hot and when he gets going it is very dangerous equally if you’re to tell what are you saying to your team as well oh stopped these drives stop them getting into the paint you know play better one-on-one defense I know they’re going Zone but you still just can’t give up that paint area so easy you go at Zone to keep them outside to only give them one shot collect the rebound and go well you’ve had the opportunity to win free pizza for picking who will win and the score but now you are tasked with picking the MVP scan that QR code I’m looking at perant at the moment his shooting has been extraordinary in this game but denim Brook on defense has has been good too yeah Cruz perro hunt 19 points five rebounds two assists he’s doing it all and he’s leading his team throughout this ball game so far he’s taking a break right now but you know T La stepped up the last time they played he’s been in foul trouble and has been sitting for a little while but I’d get him some looks as well Lane gets to Jud Jud drives himself up and under great work just individual play there from Jud had options decided to go himself the fire want to go quickly Lois on court with his three fouls being played at a lot of pace and they’ve lost the handles there too j making them pay getting up high what a response from the Jets yeah and J has a great way of doing that calls his team back into ball games just through his hustle and heart as we see car can’t get it to go and Jud comes up with again almost a little bit too rushed there from car was just a turn and shoot didn’t really look at his options or what in front of him was an open look though just couldn’t capitalize as it opens up again and where has the energy come from from the Jets Matt Lacy has caught a timeout because the Jets have come out firing on all four cylinders yeah check this out reject that screen use the rim to protect the ball he goes straight at tto Lis knowing he’s in F trouble knowing that he’s playing a little bit more conservative blows right by him one two Jets right back in this ball game also Kris and I just want to shout out to the DJ because we’re also like you know having a little bit of a cunny cunny here in the commentary booth right Good Vibes only for the F last game down in toonga and look at that Cru par hunt leading the MVP V race as he should couple of votes to luuka Richards Zam Brooke Kyle Lambert Liam J and Campbell Scott evenly split too between the two teams we like to see that to look past at the moment Mark happy birthday my friend and also Charlie Charlie happy birthday from 13 the field five of those three pointers it’s Marcus Holland s from 10 shooting at 70% hasn’t put up too many in the second half though right that is a great rate but you know he has had five turnovers and I would say he’s forcing a little bit too much as we see bazan just too strong on that layup Scott gets it to judge I thought about it Heron at the top of the perimeter and that is where you do not want to leave that man open yeah makes you pay great in Rhythm shot look good from the moment it left his hands car in the paint and he draws the foul and one play oh you hate that hate fouling seeing that crazy shot go up and in if you’re going to foul make it a good one and make sure that he doesn’t finish that shot not much in that foul actually now that we see it on replay hand straight up but car such long limbs just goes through the defense and he adds the extras to still cut heren gets it to Lane and he mishandles that ball too so the fight come up with position ter hunt threads it through to bouer B back to ter hunt open three and he knocks down another one six three-pointers tonight from ter hunt certainly helping his MVP rankings yeah definitely is great shot for him 6 threes in the ball game well we heard car as well as traveling he knew it too you saw the Grimace on his face just didn’t quite get the timing right with his footwork take a look here at that three yeah great read his Defender ran straight into that screen Jud was too far back to contest that shot just made that defense pay B calls for the boys had to reach for that one bazant for the Triple Richards ties for the Jets quite a few lead changes in this last half Karen will take a trip to the Kem Warehouse strike to try and cut down that lead when hin wants to go and when herin wants to score it is so hard to stop him when he gets out in transition we saw it in the first half just those Euro steps as patient as poised to get himself to the rim and finish his ability to draw fouls he is really stepping up for his team the home crowd certainly making the noise trying to St mppa here and again hasn’t really scored as many points as we usually see him just on 13 at the moment but accurate at the Kim Warehouse strike right and has officially got that double double with 11 rebounds as well per hton looking for his seven three shooting the lights out to tonight yeah give him the ball I’m so glad that he decided to join the F you know all year it seems like his confidence is just renewed he’s played for his high school coach someone that had belief in him from the start he brought him in and has given him a bigger role oh my goodness Richards Richard’s got up there responded to per hunts 3 with a lovely play of his own just got up slam that ball down making sure that the five supporters knew that the Jets were well and truly still in the house right he said by down watch me throw down this one hand slam check it out on replay on this roll gets up no one around him that’s a pick and roll executed to fiction it was a lovely shot there as well well to see it from the Baseline right great little exclamation point for the game he’s having oh just good Vision there too between the two Imports and car and Holland everybody in the lane finds an open Lane at that peran commits the foul it is another and one play yeah that’s tough it looked like he was already going to be off balance that would have already been a tough shot if the defense hadn’t filed him as well he’s able to get it to go check it out on the replay steps in really draws it sells that call no walks himself into the Chemist Warehouse free throw l substitutions happening teams okay turn we’re getting a bit quiet here three points in this game just over 5 minutes to play in this last quarter of the game passing for the rebound was bouer putting it back car tid his up well right that was all bouer fought after it got his hands on it and let it DP out to car shutting down that pass from herin he’s the defense of the spy team present to bouer oh great read by Richards read it like a book didn’t he and then he thought throws it up and another slam for Richards you just knew that was coming we saw him throw it up earlier Scott was like go get it big fella going upstairs was Richards you could see the little twinkle in their eye and a shot to silence the Jets as well coming in from Holland hasn’t shot too much from outside the perimeter and that one was successful yeah that started with a great pass out of that pick and roll car able to find waiting in the corner Tera Hutt sitting on his season high at the moment with 25 and another three ball from the Jets all of a sudden everyone has found their radar at the right time two 4 minutes left in this ball game car smothered underneath the rim Holland for three backto back triples for Holland right that’s the way to get it done you know make the defense really worry about you getting to the Rim Early now that they’re saged off or you’re going to blow by them you’re lining it up from Deep 13 three-pointers for the fight tonight they have been good from Deep 5 seconds left on the shot clock Campell Scott that one was well and truly away but tried to hustle for the rebound not to be turn feel right say say say check out this replay Richard’s getting out in transition Scott throwing it up Richard’s throwing it down we’ve had it all here in terms of basketball but also the music now we’ve got some it’s all on here in on make sure you come and support the fight next season and a strong finish from car we talked about that third quarter being a little bit of a lone the team started to flatten but this fourth quarter everyone has stepped up a notch perhaps because the fineo this is their last game here for the season but also the Jets they don’t want to finish J last this year they are motivated to get a win tonight yeah they are just see see how much they want it by how much they hustling after that ball car got it easy inside two Defenders came at him still able to finish he’s been a great get for the fire this season he’s held it down for them through all their adversity you know he’s constantly contributed double doubles to this team doing it in a lot of different ways shooting the three ball rolling inside well for them playing some solid defense as well interesting here and isn’t on this MVP list he has 18 points 11 rebounds you know he’s keeping this game close for the J all the way from M towards the game shout out to J and so shout out to you guys Cris hunt on a career high and a season high with 25 points tonight and well done so he deserves the accolades he is getting this MVP oh what a game to do it the last game of the season go out with a bang so I mentioned earlier this team you know he fits perfectly they’ve given him a bigger role and he has stepped up to the challenge well prior to this year his career high was 18 points against the Saints in 29 19 and then in the opening game for the fire this year scored 23 points and that was his season high and as you say what a game to have another Stell performance the last one of the year and a lot of players from this five team have stepped up for this team this year tiu Lewis another one you know his career high was 13 points last year for the balls stepped up versus the Jets the last and they played and knocked down 23 points and a lot of it is dued as well as you mentioned beforehand to mat Lacy for believing in these players having the coach’s backing goes a long way for the confidence and a confident shot coming up from Jud and he will have an opportunity to make this a three-point play yeah we’ve spoken a lot about the F what they have done but you know the Jets also as we take a look at judge strong drive and finish the Jets have also got a really strong base of locals with Jud with laf with Scott super young Talent well you know in years to come 3 four he even maybe earlier they could really be dominating this league and that’s a strong unit to have they probably had arguably the best in for trio last year Danny Pippen the second as well who was here and who has just uh got rid of his cancer cancer in the butt did put in the second and he’s just put on his Instagram story that he’s been cleared to play basketball again so I thought went out to Danny PPP right and he wants to run it back with the Jets I heard right yes I’d love to see him back in the league another athletic player that car right now getting it done but yeah just goes to show you know the great culture we have down here and what the Jets are doing Lane going to battle with Lewis just couldn’t get the roll in the end but light the handles in the drive car goes on his own gets it to bouer back in to Holland Holland losing his footing still holds on to the wall in fact jumping on it his land but everyone’s on the ground it’s like a game of Twister down there Scott gets the pass pass away to Jud hot outside the perimeter and that guy is shooting the lights out for the Jets tonight makes it a five-point game a minute 45 to go we are going to have a finish on our hands yeah we are and let’s take another look at it Jud from the wing just hopped into that shot looked good but the fire they just need to look after that ball Holland was guilty of over dribbling that last position here’s six turnovers in this ball game I like how aggressive he’s being but at this point of the game it is possessions you’re up use the time get a good look every time another turnover not good signs for the fire right now mear youres minute and a half to go the defense core goes out around the stadium here looking for his options there Campbell Scott bazat on him ball Falls though that’s a good shot coming in from Scott I told you that man steps up when his team needs him the most when players go out injured when they’re missing people he steps up when his name’s caught and we see it right there this is a clutch play from The Young Scott 97 days that is how long it has been since the Jets have been in the a circle as I mentioned beforehand a win tonight is crucial if they don’t want to finish on the bottom of the table they will travel back home and they will host the sharks for the bottom of the table flash or as we like to say The Wooden Spoon no one wants to finish with that the F again would be so proud of the season the lowest they can finish is ninth are we good Make some noise I know we keep saying it but a lot of credit needs to be given to the fly for the season that they’ve had but back to the game a minute was so left in it and it really has been a tough grind for both teams no team really pulling away from each other it’s been evenly match both teams playing for everything and for different reasons as well yeah this it has been a tight match it was a tight match the last time these two teams played be interesting to see what the f have drawn up here they’ll want a good look they need to get you know a great position here they’ve turned it over the last couple times time is on their side still on our feet friend still on our feet Holland the options C was wide open for him and he gets the two-pointer extending the lead he almost looked confused that there was too much space in front of him he was like why is nobody guarding me this shot’s too easy Scott for three and it is money refusing to go away are the Jets two points gosh talk about open looks that was two for both teams just let’s get up car gets that bounce pass away to Brook back on court flirting with the sideline there car again in the paint fires away with shot but gets the rebound they are eating up the time here 10 seconds left on the shot clock everyone on their feet the Deep two from bazat he leaves it on the rim but Brook with the rebound he won’t get the two points but he will take a trip to the kevas warehouse strip and the Jets just don’t fight hard enough to get that ball too much possession for the fight yeah they did it they play such hard defense the shot goes up and then for a split second they just stopped playing let’s take a look back at it Jud boxed out but nobody went and found denim Brook you need to find a body when that shot goes up you need you know to get that position because now they get another look at it they get the offit rebound we’re calling a timeout and talking about it I was going to say there’s plenty of timeouts left because we have not had many in this game and you’d expect that from a game that’s a blowout but it’s been tight the whole way through and we have had hardly any sages and I like that right they are letting these guys play but remember here both teams also still have their player time out so if the coach has draw something up and it doesn’t go the way that the team thinks it’s going to go you can always hold the ball and call the timeout and let’s start again I love that Innovation that’s been introduced to this league and if players have switched on they can really use it to their advantage so if you can there’s only like not much left on the clock I know if you can if you’re too tired you can sit down it’s fine or good but if you have enough energy to stand the Jets have only had one win this year and that was against the Sharks back on the 3rd of April 8370 stand the on the other hand seven wins thus far got their first win a historic first win on Thursday the the March over the Hawks 91 78 and then got a couple good Scouts with the sharks the nuggets the Giants they beat the Jets earlier beat the Nuggets and the balls too so lot of positives for this team but this jet side they are hungry only one win is tough for a season and they’re going to have to figure it out quick because this fight team they can close tight games we saw them have a really tight game against the nuggets in this gym we saw them have a really tight game against the Bulls in this gym they were able to get it done both times and just note here they only have three fouls team fouls in this quarter so if D Brook misses another one and the Jets look to get on a run they could potentially foul and stop the game so just something to note there missed the first one but was successful with the third Brock checks out of the game interestingly because he’s probably arguably one of the best defenders right but maybe not one of their better free throw shooters as we just saw there so you want your clutch people in and giving away that foul there was Holland they’re not in the bonus yet Mustafa Heron thought they were right not a bad fou there just looking back at Coach T looking for What play he wants Heron was going to inbound but they’ve given it to Lane Heron with the quick release for three and it is clutch we have a ball game on our hands talk about clutch that is tough three-point shot on the move here and stiffing up for his team let’s check it out again Lane leads him right into the shot with that pass here and raising up didn’t those three-point signs flyo everybody say yeah but what a game to Bow up out on for the five but also a game as well for the Jets it’s been tough each team has shown their capability both on offense and defense it hasn’t gone all their way put both teams this season but they’re showing what they’re capable of yeah they definitely are in oh I don’t know which way I want this game to go do you want the fight a win at home for their last one do you want the Jets to pick up a win and you know have another high to add to their season so tight we’ll see what can happen potentially the Jets you know could foul send them to the line get another play at it give it to here or Scot again hit a big three but yeah you just need to play solid defense worst comes to worst this goes into overtime for the five they wind this clock all the way down and you said it too we mentioned that Mustafa here and had only had 10 points and we were halfway through that third quarter now he’s back on 21 on his average and used he a late bloomer and he is in this game yes he do come 8 seconds 8.2 seconds for the fight to score and to deny the Jets they so cough all the time they can but the the shot needs to be a good one right so many options for the fire right now do you go to car who’s the heart and soul who can get it done inside do you go to Jen who’s clutched on the stretch Cruz turn hunt we see it go to C through the lane yeah there was a lot of contact there the Jets want the jump it’s not going to be a jump Heron tried his best he’s not going to win an Oscar with that one but you canot put your thumbs up anymore buddy you’re getting it I think there was an arm grab there I don’t think Lane’s arms were long enough to actually get to the ball with k you can see that yeah he’s on his arm for sure tough job being the ri I’m having flashbacks of that two t ears game right now missing the first one that is crucial this second shot becomes so mental like not seeing the ball goes going in in your head what do you change how much do you change he gets the one the crowd erupts a player timeout is CED 3.7 seconds left the F have one hand on that one but the Jets want to disrupt this is big we’ll see what the Jets can come up with we see Lane coming up with the plan for the team look at the crowd on their feet too everyone is up they are willing this team to win right this music beat is making me feel like my heartbeat speeding out of my chest for two neutrals I mean this is It’s edge of the seat Stu Lane will inbound Ken’s all the way out in that far Corner who is going to get the ball it goes back to Lane they need to go quick here oh oh and it is not going to fall for them it is game over the defense was good enough for the fight and in their inaugural season they pick up eight wins a phenomenal effort from the toonga fire here is the replay I’m not going to lie I hate that shot I absolutely hate that shot a long two to like with the game on the line go to the rim and get a bucket oh my goodness I feel so bad for the Jets but the F at home get the job done shot selection wasn’t the one you would have picked Crystal but that’s all she wrote on the season for the toong of P they grinded it out to get that onepoint win and that man on screen right there Cruz perah Hun he is your MVP tonight seven three-pointers he had a career high and season High 25 points it was a great display from both teams everyone was entertained it was worth the price of admission for your ticket tonight and talk us through these stats three players on on 20 or more points right we love the 20 balls we love how the fire was moving the ball tonight you mentioned it Cru par hunt gave MVP 25 points he was outstanding he started the season high and he just finished it on another big high Holland and car were also great for the five for the Jets Heron really showed up in that second half just couldn’t pull them over the line Jud had 19 Richards he was solid inside for the Jets getting it done down low K and Heron pick up the double doubles K with 15 rebounds Heron with 11 Brooke Holland and Richards all had six to their name in assist beler getting it done and all the little ways that good teammates do four assists for him Scot four assists he was big down the stretch he stepped up Brook three blocks pooy with two and LA with one and then steals look at all those steals go around J and herin head two each and then a few others getting their hands on the ball and there you have it that is the F first season done and over man did they finish with a bang and what a way to kick off the last round of the 202 24 South NBL round 16 with an absolute Thriller they have set the bar high for this game for this round should I say Tuesday night Hoops is over tomorrow night live on Tik Tok Hawks Bay Hawks hosting the T Tata the Rams will host the Bulls which will be a very
