NBBA Season 70 – Day 5 Recap (Saturday, November 1, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily
ExplosiveBubbleWrap Stands Alone on the Road
After a week of data hiccups, the NBBA’s action roared back on Day 5 — and it was all about home-court dominance. Seven of eight hosts defended their courts, with ExplosiveBubbleWrap emerging as the only road team to pick up a win, toppling The LA Lions 97–87. Manager E.B.W.’s squad executed with trademark precision, forcing turnovers and maintaining composure in key stretches. The win — powered by balanced scoring and strong defense — shows that the returning NBBA franchise may have the stability needed to stick around longer than their first stint.
Mill City Thunder Obliterate Jumpstop Jumpers
It was a night to forget for Jumpstop Jumpers as Mill City Thunder dismantled them 125–31 in a record-setting blowout. TonyC’s team put up absurd numbers — 125 points, 33 assists, 19 steals, and 12 blocks — showing no mercy from start to finish. Rookie star Rodger “Cis” Cisneros and teammate Q led the charge, while the Thunder’s defense suffocated any hint of resistance. After a rocky start to the season, Mill City sent a message to the entire league: they’re back in championship form.
Bashiti Dominates as ETBU Rebounds
After back-to-back losses, the ETBU Tigers roared back at home, crushing 10inch Vertical 106–82. F. Bashiti delivered one of the best performances of the season so far, posting 31 points, 18 rebounds, and 4 assists for a monster 47 efficiency. With D. Pinhal and L. Feaster spacing the floor, ETBU looked closer to the high-powered unit that entered Season 70 with $1 million payroll ambitions.
Sohn Torches Wobbles as Splash Gang Rolls
Splash Gang caught fire at home, dismantling Wobbles 108–74 behind a season-high 43 points from D. Sohn. The sharpshooter was unstoppable, hitting from all levels in a vintage Splash Gang performance that reminded everyone of their offensive pedigree. Manager Plasma’s youth movement continues to blend beautifully with his established system — fast, fearless, and lethal from deep.
Stark Contrast Steady at 3–2
The Stark Contrast continued to find their rhythm, taking care of business at home with a 99–85 win over the Kings Knights. J. Valentin led all scorers with 38 points, while the Starks’ defensive rotations stifled the Knights’ interior game. Now sitting at 3–2, the defending runners-up are showing steady progress after an up-and-down start, with their offense once again looking fluid and confident.
Delaware Earns First NBBA Win in 11 Seasons
The Delaware 87ers finally broke through, earning their first NBBA victory since returning to the top league — a thrilling 103–100 road win over the Virginia Cavaliers. Veteran E. Shelton drilled six threes, and newcomer Patrick Randle continued to impress inside. For a franchise long known for loyalty and patience, this was a milestone moment and proof that their all-USA core can hang with anyone.
Silverbacks Surprise TarTeam
Silverbacks stunned last year’s runners-up TarTeam 75–65 in a defensive masterpiece. Center R. Jones tallied 8 blocks, leading a team effort that totaled 20 rejections — a number rarely seen at any level of play. The victory was Silver’s first signature win of the year and a reminder that the Great 8 will be anything but predictable this season.
