In a game decided in the final seconds, Tasmania held off a late New Zealand surge to win by two points. The JackJumpers built a seven-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but the Breakers outscored them 18-13 in the final frame to narrow the margin. The difference was ultimately found at the free-throw line; Tasmania reached the stripe 26 times, converting 24 (92.3%), while New Zealand earned only 13 attempts. David Johnson was the hero for the home side, hitting a go-ahead three-pointer with 15 seconds remaining to secure the result.
Johnson finished with 33 points, including seven three-pointers at a 63.6% clip. New Zealand stayed competitive through Izaiah Brockington's 24 points and a strong showing from their bench, which helped them win the rebounding battle 39-38. However, Tasmania's superior ball movement resulted in 21 assists compared to just 12 for the Breakers. New Zealand had a final opportunity to win, but Parker Jackson-Cartwright's three-point attempt at the buzzer was unsuccessful.
