    A reality check for the Tall Blacks

    A reality check for the Tall Blacks


    Their Olympic flame has been snuffed out in a 104-78 defeat to the Luka Doncic-led Slovenia at the Games-qualifying basketball tournament in Greece.

    New Zealand were down 27-9 at quarter time but cut the deficit to seven by half-time.

    Coach Pero Cameron describes the disappointment.



    Shea Ili top scored for New Zealand with 28 points.
