Sydney secured a 7-point victory over New Zealand, largely driven by efficiency in the fourth quarter and a strong second half. While both teams shot at a similar clip from the field, Sydney's ability to secure offensive rebounds and score at the free-throw line proved decisive. In the final period, Sydney outscored New Zealand 27-13, fueled by a 13-2 run that put the game out of reach. Xavier Cooks was the standout performer for the winning side, recording a double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds on efficient shooting. On the other end, Parker Jackson-Cartwright led New Zealand with 23 points and seven assists, but the Breakers struggled to create consistent separation in the second half. Sydney's turnover percentage (19.8%) was a concern, but their 35.7% offensive rebounding rate and 75% free-throw shooting provided the margin of victory.
