by Buzz Beat Daily
Record Night for Road Warriors
Day 3 of Season 70 delivered a shake-up across the NBBA, as five road teams picked up wins — the most in a single night so far this season. From upsets to statement victories, the road squads showed no fear, and the standings are already starting to tighten just one week into the campaign.
Wobbles Shock ETBU on the Road
Wobbles made a major statement with a 113–102 road win over the ETBU Tigers. P. Blum was exceptional, posting 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals to lead the charge. Despite a brilliant 39-point performance from ETBU’s D. Pinhal, Wobbles’ young core showed poise beyond their years, executing cleanly in crunch time and earning a massive early-season confidence boost.
Lions Roar in Kings Knights’ Den
The LA Lions, led by manager Harold Miner, earned a big 106–99 away victory over the Kings Knights. Z. Chongping carried the Lions with 30 points and 8 rebounds, dictating the tempo from start to finish. Kings fought hard behind J. Carandil, but couldn’t contain the Lions’ late-game surge. The win puts the Lions squarely in the mix among the Great 8’s top contenders.
Splash Gang Bounce Back Behind Sohn’s Hot Hand
Splash Gang rebounded from a tough loss by defeating 10inch Vertical 93–76 on the road. D. Sohn was in rhythm all night, earning the “Best Performer” rating (21.0) with efficient shooting and strong perimeter play. The revamped Splash lineup, built for speed and spacing, finally clicked — a sign that manager Plasma’s offseason moves are beginning to pay off.
TarTeam Handle 87ers; Delaware Hit with Injury Setback
TarTeam took care of business against the Delaware 87ers, earning a steady 109–98 road victory. Delaware’s Patrick Randle impressed with 20 points and 19 rebounds, but the night turned sour as veteran forward Lucas Nava exited with a mild ankle sprain, sidelining him for 4–8 days. TarTeam’s consistency and composure showed why they remain one of the league’s most disciplined and dangerous squads.
Lords Claim Road Victory Over Jumpers
Los Angeles Lords continued the away-team dominance, defeating the Jumpstop Jumpers 97–85. Veterans E. Dahan and O. Gesla were defensive anchors, combining for 6 steals to turn momentum late in the game. Jumpers guard E. Runfolo played all 48 minutes in a gritty effort, but it wasn’t enough to slow the balanced attack of manager GagneOutWest’s squad.
Hooks Dominates as Cavaliers Stay Perfect
The Virginia Cavaliers remained unbeaten, downing the Silverbacks 86–71 behind another monstrous outing from M. Hooks. The reigning USA Cup champions’ big man tallied 20 points, 23 rebounds, and 5 blocks, earning MVP of the Night with a 36 efficiency rating. The Cavaliers are proving that last season’s success was no fluke, now sitting firmly atop the standings.
Mill City Thunder Clamp Visionaries
Mill City Thunder picked up a 103–92 road win over Visionaries, showcasing why they remain a championship threat. W. Ruojia dished 9 assists to lead a balanced offense, while T. Pok Yin swatted 6 shots inside. Manager TonyC’s Thunder have quickly re-established themselves as a defensive powerhouse — and newcomer Rodger “Cis” Cisneros continues to settle in nicely.
Champions Survive Another Test; Dowell Injured
The defending champs Stark Contrast improved to 2–1 with a narrow 95–90 win over ExplosiveBubbleWrap. Despite the victory, it was a tough night for the Bubbles, as team legend “Bloody” Bruce Dowell suffered a pulled groin that will keep him sidelined for 10–20 days. Stark continue to look sharp in crunch-time execut
