On Saturday night, October 10, 2026, the Perth Wildcats secured a 100‑84 victory over the New Zealand Breakers at RAC Arena, marking their fourth consecutive win and solidifying third place on the NBL ladder (source 1). The win came despite a heroic effort from the Breakers, who were without point guard Parker Jackson‑Cartwright, ruled out for several weeks with a lower‑leg injury (source 1).
Import forward Dylan Windler dominated the contest, scoring a team‑high 32 points, including 18 in the decisive fourth quarter (source 1). He was especially lethal from beyond the arc, converting seven of 12 three‑point attempts (source 2). Fellow import Elijah Pepper complemented Windler’s firepower with 25 points, helping the Wildcats pull away in the final period (source 3).
For the Breakers, Sam Mennenga delivered a career‑best performance, tallying 40 points and 18 rebounds while shooting 5‑of‑8 from three‑point range (source 1). His early surge gave New Zealand a brief lead, but the Wildcats’ defensive adjustments and turnover pressure limited the Breakers’ ability to sustain momentum (source 2).
Former NBA guard Brandon Knight made his NBL debut for Perth, contributing six points and five turnovers (source 1). Veteran captain Jesse Wagstaff also made his presence felt, adding 13 points, four rebounds and six assists (source 3). Their experience helped Perth close out the game, with the Wildcats outscoring the Breakers 30‑18 in the final quarter (source 1).
The victory not only extended Perth’s winning streak to four games but also reinforced their push for a top‑three finish as the season progresses (source 5). The Wildcats will look to maintain their momentum in the upcoming fixtures, while the Breakers must regroup without Jackson‑Cartwright and find ways to counter Perth’s balanced attack.
