Scott Roth & Dakota Mathias | Tasmania JackJumpers vs Breakers | Post Game | Round 5 | NBL27

Scott Roth and Dakota Mathias speak after the JackJumpers ground out a 98-92 win over the BNZ Breakers at home in Round 5 of NBL27, just 48 hours after their last game.

Roth explains why toughness for this group is about poise and composure rather than physicality. He points to the small moments that decided it: Nick Marshall’s putback at the buzzer, Ben Gold’s bucket before halftime and 19 offensive rebounds. He also credits the coaching staff’s development work and reflects on Reuben Te Rangi’s journey ahead of his 400th NBL game.

Dakota talks about playing through his nose injury, how the system suits his game, and why Tasmania already feels like home.

On the march. 🐜
