Auckland Huskies vs Otago Nuggets NBL Playoffs Final game will be held on August 13. The Taranaki Airs’ general manager gained some praise off the court, as the team advanced to the NBL championships. At the domestic basketball awards, which were voted by the 10 NBL coaches and five independents, including former Tall Black Casey Frank, Mitch Langton, 25, was named NBL general manager of the year. The general manager who has contributed the most to a team over the course of the year receives the honor. After saving the club, Langton was without a doubt the favorite. The Taranaki Steelformers Airs finished last in 2021, drawing a small crowd to the TSB Stadium.
The Nelson Giants were the Airs’ final opponent at home last week, and they played in front of a sellout crowd that had been close to full all season. The Airs won 98-67 to take first place in the standings. He said that the club’s total turnaround within a year is reflected in their performance on the court. The squad is “very blessed” to have Langton overseeing the club, according to Airs chairman Laine Hopkinson. “I am overjoyed to see him get the respect he merits. For the Steelformers Airs, it’s a proud time, he added.

Hopkinson said he’s not sure where the club would be without Langton’s enthusiasm and hunger for success. Other accolades included several Taranaki players. Javonte Douglas and Anthony Hilliard were named to the all-star five, Corey Webster was named the best New Zealand guard, and Anthony Hilliard was awarded the Alan Bland Memorial Trophy as the “scoring champion.” Xavier Cooks, an immigrant for the Wellington Saints, was the most valuable player this year. The Airs will take on either the Hawke’s Bay Hawks, Wellington Saints, or Auckland Tuatara in this weekend’s playoff games.
