S.E Melbourne 92 - 80 New Zealand

S.E Melbourne secured a 92-80 victory over New Zealand, with the difference largely determined by efficiency and three-point shooting. S.E Melbourne shot 44.6% from the field compared to New Zealand's 37.5%, and a significant gap in three-point accuracy (34.2% vs 20.8%) was a primary factor. In the first quarter, New Zealand led 20-26, but S.E Melbourne outscored them in the third 27-21, a period marked by a 7-for-16 three-point shooting performance from Nathan Sobey. New Zealand's offensive rebounding was superior (20 to 9), but the turnover differential (9 to 11) favored S.E Melbourne, limiting the visitors' opportunities in the second half.
