By: Elliott Smith | Latest Basketball News | Saturday May 5 2012 6:34

 

The Nelson Giants have got their national basketball league playoff hopes back on track with a 90-87 victory over the league leading Bay Hawks in Nelson.

Paora Winitana's 22 points wasn't enough for the Hawks, with the Giants sealing a narrow victory to move up to fifth on the ladder.

Meanwhile, the Auckland Pirates remain in contention for top spot, accounting for the Southland Sharks 106-87, with Breakers Alex Pledger and Dillon Boucher suiting up for the first time this season.

And The Manawatu Jets have thumped the Taranaki Mountain Airs 102-85 in New Plymouth.
