Last Sunday, Nick Horvath and the Manawatu Jets finished their season with a 112-76 win over the Super City Rangers. Nick had 22 points and 14 rebounds in 30 minutes. Paul Jones had 26 points and 8 rebounds and Brandon Jenkins had 13 points and 11 assists. In the loss, ex-NAIA player Cameron Stuart had 12 points. The Jets ended their season with five wins in a row leaving them only one game out of the last playoff spot. Given Nick's contributions after he missed the first eight games due to an injury, the team must wonder what would have happened with better health. Nick again proved to be one of the top post players in the league and now looks to make an impression in training camp for the national team.

Jamal Boykin's long and adventurous season came to an end with a loss in the semifinals in New Zealand. Jamal started the season with a short-term contract in Germany to fill in for an injured player. Once that deal ran out, he found a place in Ukraine, where he was playing well before issues in the country disrupted the league. While Jamal stayed longer than most of the foreign and premier domestic players, he was looking for another place to play and earn a living and he was able to leave for New Zealand. Jamal was a key player for the Nelson Giants, finishing 7th in the league in scoring. He did so extremely efficiently, with the fourth highest free throw percentage and the fifth highest two point percentage, making the second most two point baskets in the league and finishing fifth in the overall efficiency index that takes into account all statistics. Jamal will soon be ready to find his next place to play as he has already experienced the professional game in seven different countries during his career.
Here are his statistics in New Zealand:
