by Buzz Beat Daily
Virginia Cavaliers Win a Thriller on the Road
The Virginia Cavaliers continued their perfect start to Season 70, edging the Visionaries 108–107 in one of the most exciting finishes of the early season. D. Suggs calmly sank two free throws in the final seconds to seal the deal, capping a clutch performance for the defending USA Cup champions. N. Stanton led with 22 points and 9 assists, while L. Castro controlled the glass. Despite a monstrous outing from Q. Laperche (26 pts, 16 reb, 6 blk, 42 efficiency), the Visionaries fell to 0–2 at home — a rare sight for the long-tenured powerhouse.
Splash Gang Catch Fire, Hand Champs First Loss
In their home opener, Splash Gang came out blazing, handing the defending champions Stark Contrast a 100–81 defeat. After a flat start to the season, Plasma’s squad responded emphatically behind hot perimeter shooting and crisp ball movement. The addition of Roscoe Anderson is already paying off, as his defensive presence and leadership fueled the Gang’s fast-paced attack. The champs looked a step slow all night, as Splash Gang reminded everyone they’re still one of the league’s most dangerous home teams.
ExplosiveBubbleWrap Burst Out in ETBU
The ExplosiveBubbleWrap bounced back in a big way, lighting up the ETBU Tigers 114–86 on the road. Devin Marino and Bloody Dowell led the charge, combining for highlight plays as Bubbles showed off their trademark high-IQ, fluid offense. After a frustrating narrow loss on opening night, E.B.W.’s team looked rejuvenated — turning defense into transition points and silencing the Tigers’ home crowd.
Wobbles Earn First-Ever NBBA Win
History was made as Wobbles claimed their first-ever NBBA victory, taking down the Kings Knights 86–75 on the road. E. Hosemann was a beast inside, grabbing 20 rebounds to anchor Wobbles’ paint dominance. Toast’s young squad displayed poise and balance throughout, closing strong against one of the league’s most physical teams. Kings Knights, meanwhile, struggled offensively and fell to 1–1.
LA Lions and Lords Light It Up
Los Angeles basketball fans had plenty to cheer for, as both city squads came away with impressive wins. The LA Lions toppled 10inch Vertical 112–96 behind a stellar T. Swiety performance (30 pts, 13 reb, MVP of the evening). Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lords made another statement, dropping 121 points in a road win at Delaware 87ers. Elishay Dahan and Antonio Fornos spearheaded the offensive onslaught, showcasing the Lords’ elite firepower and confirming that GagneOutWest’s team means business in their debut NBBA season.
Silverbacks Dominate at Home
The Silverbacks were ruthless in their home opener, dismantling the Jumpstop Jumpers 98–60. B. Kyle (28 pts, 14 reb) and R. Jones (near triple-double) combined to suffocate Jumpstop on both ends, while the team piled up 13 blocks to completely erase the paint. After two commanding wins, the Silverbacks look like early favorites in the Great 8 — their defense is once again setting the tone.
TarTeam Rebounds, Mill City Stumbles
After a disappointing start to their campaign, TarTeam bounced back with an authoritative 83–68 road win over Mill City Thunder. Their defense clamped down on the high-octane duo of Cis and Q, holding Mill City to just 68 points. TarTeam’s discipline and experience showed, while the Thunder still seem to be finding their rhythm with new pieces in the lineup.
Final Word
Day 2 brought fireworks across the NBBA — from Virginia’s clutch victory in Visionaries’ gym to Splash Gang’s resurgent home statement against the champs. Both LA squads
