From Morning Report, 7:52 am on 4 September 2019

The Tall Blacks beat Montenegro 93-83 overnight to keep alive New Zealand's hopes at the Basketball World Cup in China.

The most dramatic action happened off the court, with Montenegro's fiery coach Zvezdan Mitrovic forced to watch his team lose from the changing room after he was ejected before the first half was completed.
