The Wellington Saints have won the 2024 New Zealand National Basketball League championship, claiming their 13th title with a close 88–83 victory over the Southland Sharks.
The final took place at the TSB Arena in Wellington on Sunday, in front of excited home fans.
Led by star players Hyrum Harris and Jordan Ngatai, the Saints overcame a tough challenge from the Sharks, who had been on a nine-game winning streak. Harris, who was named Most Valuable Player, scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Ngatai added 19 points and later dedicated the win to the team’s former coach, Kevin Braswell, who passed away in February.
At halftime, the Sharks were ahead 44–41, putting pressure on the Saints. But the home team stepped up in the second half, showing strong teamwork and determination. Nick Marshall also played a key role with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Saints head coach Aaron Young celebrated his first championship win with Wellington, after falling short in the last three finals with a different team.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
