All four quarters comfortably sat with the Saints;
33-22, 25-18, 29-19, 24-13
Nick Kay (19pts, 19rbs, 7ast) and Shea Ili (28pts, 6ast) dominated the contest, ably backed up by four other teammates in double digits. Collectively, the Saints dropped 26 dimes and scored 28pts from turnovers, a telling stat against Manawatu's 4pts from mistakes incurred by the Saints.
Such was Wellington's dominance all 12 players hit the court and only Reuben Te Rangi topped 30 minutes of action.
Disappointingly the 39pt loss came on the back of a 43pt loss to the Southland Sharks last week.
