Tasmania 70 - 103 Illawarra

The Illawarra Hawks registered a 103-70 victory over the Tasmania JackJumpers, securing a 33-point margin built on consistent offensive production and efficient perimeter shooting. Illawarra outscored Tasmania in every quarter, consistently expanding their lead through a combination of three-point accuracy and second-chance opportunities. The Hawks’ ability to maintain offensive flow resulted in 21 assists on 35 made field goals, while the JackJumpers struggled to find rhythm from the outside throughout the contest.

Tyler Harvey led all scorers with 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc, surpassing his season average of 16.9 points per game. Quentin Peterson contributed 20 points and three assists, while JaVale McGee recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, matching his season rebounding average. Tasmania's offensive effort was led by Josh Bannan and Tyger Campbell, who each scored 17 points, but the team's limited perimeter threat hindered their ability to remain competitive as the game progressed.

Statistical differences were most evident in shooting efficiency and rebounding totals. Illawarra converted 41.9% of their three-point attempts (13-of-31), whereas Tasmania shot just 12.5% (3-of-24) from deep. Furthermore, the Hawks held a significant 59-36 advantage on the glass, including 18 offensive rebounds that provided additional possessions against a Tasmania side that managed only seven offensive boards.
