S.E Melbourne secured a six-point victory over New Zealand despite shooting 44% from the field, a lower percentage than New Zealand's 44%. The difference in the game came from New Zealand's high turnover rate of 21 compared to S.E Melbourne's 9, which directly impacted the game's final outcome. In the fourth quarter, New Zealand led by as many as 11 points at 72-64, but a combination of turnovers and S.E Melbourne's shooting allowed the visitors to tie the game at 80-80. S.E Melbourne ultimately pulled ahead with a 3-pointer from 1:40 remaining, and despite a late New Zealand free throw, the score remained 81-87 at the final buzzer. Sam Mennenga's efficiency for New Zealand was a key factor, as he scored 29 points on 69% shooting from the field. For S.E Melbourne, Owen Foxwell provided consistent scoring with 19 points on 58% shooting, and his 7 assists helped maintain control during the critical fourth-quarter run.
