The Wellington saints are two games away from a perfect regular season after another comfortable win.The defending champions moved to 16-0 in their National Basketball league campaign following the 105-96 win over the supercity Rangers at trusts Arena in Auckland on Sunday afternoon..
It was the epitome of a complete team performance as every player who saw meaningful court time shone at some stage,in the first quarter it was Corey Webster he hit three -pointers in the first five minutes as his side jumped out to a 20-11 lead..
He would eventually end with a game high 26 points with eight rebounds and four assists but his saints team went cold soon after and flurry of points in transition from the rangers saw them go on a 9-0 run ,which led to a one point lead at the end of the first quarter(23-22).
The saints shrugged off their 30 per cent shooting effort in the quarter to come out strongly i the second,Webster hit a long range which was followed by a three-point play to Jordan Ngatai and a two to Tai Wesley as they quickly leapt out to a seven point lead..
