NBBA Season 69 – Day 5 Recap (Saturday, July 26, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Stark Stays Perfect, Quiroz Stuns at the Buzzer, Flashover Sets Fire to the Floor
Week 2 closed with fireworks as Stark Contrast ran their record to 5–0, Flashover torched their opponents for 119, and R. Quiroz delivered one of the season’s early defining moments with a buzzer-beating dagger on home court to lift the defending champs back over .500.

Quiroz’s Buzzer-Beater Saves Mill City at Home
The champs needed something special—and they got it. R. Quiroz drilled a game-winning jumper at the horn to give Mill City Thunder a dramatic 91–89 home win over the Visionaries. Still without two key starters, Mill City improves to 3–2 and reminded the league why you can’t count out the heart of a champion.

Stark Contrast Smother Knights to Stay Unbeaten
In a battle of contenders, Stark Contrast shut down the Kings Knights 89–77 to improve to 5–0. Their discipline and perimeter defense wore down the gritty Knights, who drop to 3–2 despite another strong effort from Short—still anchoring the paint in a small-ball lineup.

Flashover Flashes Back With Record Night
Flashover exploded for a 119–26 annihilation of the winless Beware of Dogs. They racked up 33 assists and got a triple-double from P. Randle. D. Cho and H. Rongtian combined for 53 points in a performance that reminded everyone just how lethal this squad can be when the ball is moving.

Splash Gang Drowns the Lions
Splash Gang got back on track with a 102–75 dismantling of the LA Lions. D. Cho led the charge offensively, while R. Lesickas swatted five shots to anchor the defense. The Lions fall to 2–3, unable to match Splash’s pace or perimeter efficiency.

10inch Vertical Crushes Short-Handed Fury
Still without star Neil Kimball, Resurrected Fury stood no chance against a rolling 10inch Vertical squad. MVP E. Papakonstantinou posted a dominant 25-point, 19-rebound outing in the 116–77 blowout.

Virginia Handles Silverbacks, ETBU Runs Out of Gas
W. Saucedo controlled the boards with 20 rebounds as the Cavaliers pulled away from the Silverbacks 90–72, moving to 2–3. Meanwhile, ETBU Tigers couldn’t sustain momentum and fell 109–95 to HumanFund, slipping to 2–3 despite flashes of fight.

TarTeam Flexes Depth in Win Over Mos Eisley
J. Wheatley’s 28-point night headlined another balanced effort as TarTeam took down Mos Eisley Imperials 118–103. TarTeam climbs to 4–1, while the Imperials continue to search for consistency at the NBBA level.

Key Takeaways:
• Stark Contrast: 5–0 and smothering.
• Mill City Thunder: Back above .500 thanks to Quiroz’s cold-blooded closer moment.
• Flashover: When they’re clicking, they overwhelm.
• Kings Knights and ETBU: Tough losses, but both still in the thick of things.
• Fury and Silverbacks: Looking for answers—and healthier rosters.

Final Word:
Whether it’s perfect starts, buzzer-beaters, or explosive blowouts, Day 5 had it all. The NBBA is heating up—and it’s clear no one’s safe, even on their own floor.
