🔥 Game Summary:
The Buckner Bandits were once again outpaced on both ends of the court, falling 120–97 to a sharp-shooting Holy City Hoopers squad. The Bandits struggled to contain the relentless offense of Hoopers forward S. Morgan, who torched them for 45 points and pulled down a game-high 24 rebounds.
Despite a strong effort from Mick Hunt, who dropped 31 points on 13-of-22 shooting, the Bandits couldn't keep up with the Hoopers' ball movement and dominance on the glass. The rebounding disparity (62 to 38) and a flurry of second-chance opportunities spelled doom for the home squad.
