Match Info

The Wellington Saints secured a dominant 117-81 victory over the Manawatu Jets in a New Zealand National Basketball League clash at TSB Bank Arena on Sunday, April 12th, 2026. This comprehensive win reinforced the Saints' reputation as a powerhouse in the competition, delivering a statement performance on their home court. The match was effectively decided by a blistering first-half display from the home side, who established a commanding lead that the Jets could never realistically challenge. Wellington's offense was firing on all cylinders, with efficient shooting and fast-break opportunities overwhelming the Manawatu defense, while their own defensive intensity created numerous turnovers that fueled their runaway victory. From the opening tip-off, the Saints imposed their will, building a substantial lead by the end of the first quarter. The Jets struggled to find any consistent rhythm against Wellington's pressure, and the deficit continued to grow steadily throughout the second period. By halftime, the result was virtually beyond doubt, allowing the Saints to rotate their bench and maintain their high-energy play. The second half saw more of the same, with Wellington extending their lead past the 30-point mark, showcasing their depth and offensive firepower. A key focus point was the Saints' balanced scoring attack, with multiple players contributing double-digit points, highlighting a team performance rather than reliance on a single star. For the Jets, it was a day to forget, as they were outplayed in every facet of the game, from rebounding to assists and field goal percentage. This result provided a significant boost to the Wellington Saints' points differential and solidified their position near the top of the NBL standings early in the season. For the Manawatu Jets, the heavy defeat served as a stark reminder of the level required to compete with the league's elite teams. Post-match, the Wellington coach praised his team's unselfish play and defensive focus, stating, "When we play with that kind of energy and share the ball, we're a very tough team to beat." The Manawatu coach acknowledged the gulf in class on the day, saying, "We were simply outmatched today. We have to learn from this, regroup, and come back stronger in our next outing." The starting lineups featured the Saints' usual core of experienced local stars and key imports, while the Jets looked to their guards to create offense, a strategy that was effectively neutralized by Wellin
