Melbourne 104 - 88 New Zealand

Melbourne secured a 16-point victory over New Zealand by maintaining consistent scoring output throughout the game. The home team shot 52.1% from the field and 47.1% from three-point range, outperforming New Zealand's 45.2% and 41.4% respectively. While New Zealand had more offensive rebounds (7 to 6), Melbourne's superior field goal percentage and three-point efficiency were the deciding factors. Melbourne limited New Zealand's offensive efficiency to 53.4% effective field goal percentage, compared to their own 63.4%, while also committing fewer turnovers (11 to 13). Tyson Walker and Chris Goulding were instrumental for Melbourne, combining for 39 points on efficient shooting. New Zealand's leading scorer, Izaiah Brockington, had a solid performance with 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting, but it wasn't enough to overcome Melbourne's balanced attack.
