Box Score On Friday night in Kamloops, the UNBC Timberwolves closed out the 2025 calendar year with a 90-69 loss to the host TRU WolfPack. Despite a gritty effort and 13 points from Justin Sunga, the Timberwolves couldn't overcome a balanced attack from the WolfPack, led by 19-point performances from both Jaeden Bynoe and Jayden Stephens.
 
The WolfPack jumped out to a quick start on their home floor, with Stephens scoring inside and hitting a 3-pointer to build an early lead. Tony Kibonge got the Timberwolves on the board with a layup, and Sunga added a jumper to settle the offense. UNBC continued to fight back, getting perimeter scoring from Milan Pasquale and a late layup from Miller Davies assisted by Isaiah Bias. However, Bynoe closed the quarter strong for TRU, hitting multiple jump shots to give the hosts a 24-15 lead after ten minutes.
 
The Timberwolves found their rhythm in the second quarter. Cairo Wells provided a spark with two 3-pointers, and Kibonge added another triple with a quick release. Danilo Gonzalez was efficient from the line and the field, while Chris Ainsley caught fire late in the half. Ainsley drilled back-to-back 3-pointers—assisted by Sunga and Pasquale—to cut into the deficit. Despite TRU getting a dunk from Gavin Reis and steady scoring from Dami Farinloye, UNBC narrowed the gap to 47-37 at the half. 
 
In the third quarter, the Timberwolves clawed their way back into the game. Sunga opened the half with a 3-pointer, and later converted free throws to keep UNBC close. Kibonge remained active, earning trips to the line and coming up with a steal. Ainsley and Davies added buckets inside to pull UNBC within 11 points. However, a four-point play from Bynoe shifted the momentum back to TRU, and the WolfPack took a 62-51 lead into the final frame.
 
The WolfPack offense exploded in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. Bynoe was perfect from the free-throw line and added another triple, while Stephens continued to score inside. The Timberwolves continued to battle, getting free throws from Gonzalez and a layup from Haukur Davidsson. Wells connected on another late 3-pointer, and Kibonge added a layup, but TRU's perimeter shooting, capped by a Chris Piotrowski triple, secured the 90-69 victory.
 
The Timberwolves will now enjoy a holiday break before returning to action in the new year. They will kick off 2026 on home court when they host the UBC Thunderbirds at the Northern Sport Centre on January 15th.
