NBBA Season 69 – Day 11 Recap (Saturday, August 16, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily
Mill City Thunder Grind Out Road Win, TarTeam and ETBU Deliver Blowouts
Day 11 was defined by two extremes — one of the NBBA’s rarest feats as Mill City Thunder stole a road win at Kings Knights, and two historic demolitions with TarTeam and ETBU Tigers posting triple-digit blowouts. Elsewhere, contenders like Stark Contrast, Splash Gang, and 10inch Vertical kept pace with comfortable victories.
Mill City Thunder Outlast Kings Knights on the Road
In a clash of future NT stars, Q. Quiroz and G. Short squared off for the first time as rivals. Mill City prevailed 83–71 in one of the season’s toughest environments, grinding out a defensive battle to climb to 7–4. For Kings Knights, the loss at home drops them to 5–6, highlighting how crucial protecting their arena will be in the playoff race.
TarTeam Obliterates Resurrected Fury
TarTeam authored one of the most lopsided results in recent NBBA memory with a 153–19 home victory. J. Wheatley led the charge, drilling 8 threes and finishing with a league-best 48 efficiency. TarTeam piled up 53 assists and 18 steals in a total dismantling that left Fury winless at 0–11.
ETBU Tigers Maul Cavaliers
ETBU stormed back above .500 with a 135–39 destruction of Virginia Cavaliers. Kangshan owned the glass with 22 rebounds as the Tigers suffocated their opponents from start to finish. The Cavaliers’ offense sputtered badly, dropping them to 6–5 and raising concerns about their consistency down the stretch.
Stark Contrast Controls Visionaries
Stark Contrast stayed perfect at home, defeating the Visionaries 97–75. Opportunistic play after in-game injuries to the visitors helped Stark maintain control throughout, improving to 11–0 and remaining the NBBA’s only unbeaten team.
Splash Gang Keeps Dogs at Bay
Splash Gang protected their home floor with a 106–77 win over Beware of Dogs, using their guard-heavy pace to build an early cushion they never surrendered.
LA Lions Back to 5–6 with Win over Imperials
The LA Lions took care of business against the tanking Mos Eisley Imperials, winning 113–78. The victory pushes LA to 5–6 as they continue to fight for playoff positioning.
HumanFund Survives Silverbacks Push
HumanFund had to work harder than expected but closed strong in a 99–86 win over the Silverbacks. The result helps them keep pace in the Great 8’s playoff hunt.
10inch Vertical Crushes Flashover
10inch Vertical flexed their power in a 133–45 blowout, dominating the boards and suffocating Flashover into one of the lowest outputs of the season.
Key Takeaways
• Mill City Thunder’s road win over Kings Knights underscores how rare and valuable away victories are in the NBBA.
• TarTeam and ETBU Tigers delivered historic blowouts, exposing major offensive struggles for Fury and Cavaliers.
• Stark Contrast remains the only undefeated squad at 11–0.
• The middle playoff pack is tightening, with several teams jostling between 5–6 and 7–4 records.
Final Word
Day 11 showcased both the grind and the glamour of NBBA basketball — Mill City’s defensive road victory proving the value of toughness, and TarTeam’s record-breaking explosion highlighting the league’s offensive firepower. As the standings tighten, every win at home — and especially on the road — grows more decisive.
