The Taranaki Mountainairs' season finished earlier than expected. The Airs final match of the year against the Nelson Giants on Saturday night at the TSB Stadium was cancelled amid poor weather. The match against Taranaki was originally postponed until Monday before it was cancelled hours later. A Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) statement said Nelson was isolated due to severe flooding and Air New Zealand cancelled multiple flights. The Mountainairs finished the season with only two wins from 17 matches.
