Several NBL stars stood tall when it mattered as the New Zealand Tall Blacks claimed a classic double-overtime thriller over the Philippines in the FIBA World Cup Asia Qualifiers. The teams couldn't be separated at 83 points apiece at the end of regulation, and again after the first overtime, before the Tall Blacks prevailed 106-102.

Bryce Cotton has wasted no time settling into Australian Boomers colours on a familiar floor at RAC Arena with the six-time NBL MVP putting up 21 points in Monday night's 92-49 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers win over the Philippines. The Boomers continued their unbeaten run in the Asian Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar in 2027 with a record 124-52 win against Guam back on Friday night where they knocked down 24/51 from three-point territory.
