Perth secured a 13-point victory over New Zealand with a strong fourth quarter performance. The home team struggled significantly from the field for most of the game, shooting under 40 percent (39.7%) and 26 percent from three-point range, which kept the score close through the first three quarters. New Zealand, conversely, shot slightly better from the field (36.1%) and made 12 three-pointers (30.8% average), yet they were unable to maintain their lead. The turning point was the final frame, where Perth outscored New Zealand 24-15 and capitalized on their superior free-throw shooting, going 24-for-26 from the stripe (92.3%) compared to New Zealand's 3-for-6. This disparity in free-throw attempts was a major factor, as Perth attempted 26 free throws while New Zealand only took 6. The game was decided by the home team's ability to score efficiently in the final minutes and convert their free throws, rather than their overall field goal percentage.
