by Buzz Beat Daily
10inch Vertical and Mill City Thunder Win on the Road; Knights Fall Again to Their Kryptonite
Day 7 saw home teams dominate once again — except for two. 10inch Vertical and Mill City Thunder stood tall as the only road victors, while several top contenders reasserted their status in convincing fashion. TarTeam, Virginia Cavaliers, and The LA Lions each delivered statement wins, and ExplosiveBubbleWrap continued their unbeaten surge despite still missing star forward Dowell.
10inch Vertical Sting the Kings Knights Yet Again
It’s becoming a trend the Knights can’t shake — 10inch Vertical once again proved to be their kryptonite, taking a thrilling 91–89 win in front of the Knights’ home crowd on national TV. E. Papakonstantinou anchored the victory with 18 points and 18 rebounds, while Vertical’s poise in crunch time sealed the deal. The Knights dropped to 0–3 lifetime against SaulTNuts’ squad, sparking speculation that a tanking pivot could be on the horizon for the frustrated franchise.
TarTeam Obliterates Shorthanded Visionaries
TarTeam unleashed pure devastation in a 142–27 demolition of the Visionaries. Manager Peluin rested all starters ahead of their upcoming National Cup clash against the Kings Knights, and TarTeam — led by I. Fisher’s 35 points and 7 triples — took full advantage. Their 34 assists and suffocating defense turned the night into a historic blowout, showing just how dangerous TarZip’s machine can be when firing on all cylinders.
Virginia Cavaliers Keep the Momentum Rolling
The Cavaliers crushed Jumpstop Jumpers 125–61, dominating on the glass (63 rebounds) and in transition. W. Saucedo impressed again with a 16-point, 17-rebound, 3-steal outing, while the Cavs’ depth proved overwhelming. The win keeps Virginia among the NBBA’s elite as they continue to blend experience with explosive pace.
Mill City Thunder Bounce Back with a Road Win
After resting players earlier in the week for the Cup, Mill City Thunder rebounded with a steady 98–82 road win over the Delaware 87ers. The champs looked refocused and composed, with TonyC’s squad methodically controlling the tempo throughout. It was a quiet but confident reminder that Mill City remains a force whenever they decide to turn it on.
Silverbacks Outlast Lords in a Gritty Battle
The Silverbacks took down the Los Angeles Lords 90–78 behind D. Carmona’s 31-point masterclass. Their defense once again proved to be their backbone, forcing the Lords into tough shots and dominating the half-court rhythm. The win helps Silver steady their season and reassert themselves as one of the Great 8’s most balanced squads.
Stark Contrast Hit Their Stride at 4–3
The Stark Contrast climbed above .500 with a 91–81 win over ETBU Tigers. J. Valentin was electric once again, and Stark’s trademark efficiency down the stretch made the difference. ETBU’s H. Kangshan grabbed a monstrous 23 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to slow the steady resurgence of astarkfuture’s group. With their fourth win, Stark Contrast are officially back in the mix.
The LA Lions Maul Splash Gang’s Backups
The LA Lions dismantled a resting Splash Gang lineup 124–45. With their starters sitting to stay fresh for a National Cup matchup, Splash Gang never stood a chance. A. Gonca was unstoppable, posting 12 points, 16 boards, and 7 blocks, while P. Holtz tallied 10 assists. E. Silver’s -21 efficiency and 10 turnovers marked one of the worst performances of the season.
