This game belonged to Tasmania JackJumpers point guard Tyger Campbell.

In a controlled, mature road performance, Campbell was the organising force behind Tasmania’s second-half surge, finishing with 20 points on 8–11 shooting, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and a game-high +25 with 29 efficiency.

Campbell scored efficiently without forcing the issue, picking his spots as Tasmania turned a three-point halftime edge into a blowout. His presence steadied the offense during key momentum swings, particularly in the third quarter when Melbourne managed just nine points and Tasmania seized full control.

Alongside him, Bryce Hamilton provided the volume scoring and physical edge, finishing with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and +16. While Hamilton needed more shots (6–17 FG), his aggression kept Melbourne’s defence occupied and complemented Campbell’s efficiency perfectly.

Melbourne United cleared missed Shea Ili as the once NBL26 juggernaut suffered another loss under, this time in the open air of a roofless John Cain Arena.

United started 9-0 and are now 14-7 and have spluttered post the FIBA Break.

The JackJumpers created some breathing room between themselves and the New Zealand Breakers. Tasmania is 9-11 in sixth while the Breakers dropping a game to Brisbane on Monday night left them at 7-13 and in seventh.

The contest was competitive through the opening half, with Tasmania holding a narrow 42–39 advantage at the main break. From there, the JackJumpers seized full control. They outscored United 23–9 in the third quarter, completely disrupting Melbourne’s offensive flow, before extending the margin in the final period to lead by as many as 22 points.

Tasmania’s balance and physicality told the story. They won the rebounding battle decisively (51–31), lived at the free-throw line, and consistently generated paint touches through their frontcourt rotation. Melbourne, by contrast, struggled to generate efficient offence, shooting just 36.4 percent from the field and scoring only nine points in the third quarter as the game slipped away.
