New Zealand 82 - 65 Tasmania

New Zealand secured a 17-point victory over Tasmania in NBL action, relying on efficient ball movement and a strong defensive effort. The Hawks' shooting percentages were comparable, but their turnover rate was the primary differentiator. Tasmania committed 11 turnovers compared to just 2 for the Breakers, directly leading to 22 extra New Zealand possessions. Parker Jackson-Cartwright controlled the point of attack with 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting and 6 assists, while Izaiah Brockington added 17 points. The Tasmanian offense was hampered by Bryce Hamilton's 5-of-16 shooting from the field. Despite Tasmania's superior three-point percentage (26.3% to 7.7%) and free throw percentage (57.1% to 76.9%), the Breakers' clean play and rebounding control proved decisive. New Zealand won the rebounding battle 54-40, including 19 offensive boards which led to 12 second-chance points. The game featured a rare offensive lull for Tasmania in the third quarter, scoring just 11 points, while New Zealand maintained consistent scoring across all four quarters.
