📅 Game 14 (Saturday, Aug 30, 2025)
If you like blowouts, free throws, and a little late-game chaos, Week 14 had you covered. Delta stole one at the horn, BC Lit looked alive, and the Reductions keep sprinkling their mystery dust on close games. Let’s roll.

🌟 Game of the Night: Meridian 96 – Delta 98 💊🏰
Drag-out finish at tetrahydrocannibinol Arena (character count killer, thanks Delta). With 30 seconds left, Delta clung to a 93–96 edge until Nash—still fuming from his All-Star snub—buried a cold-blooded triple to tie it. Cue McNally: career night capped by a floater over Adams that was swatted clean…until the refs called goaltend. Game over—you decide whether it was the right call. Delta celebrates, Meridian grumbles, and everyone agrees this one felt like the playoffs.

📈 BC Lituanica 118 – Ferth 111
All about timing. Deadlocked after three, BC Lit erupted for 36 in the 4th. Pessach was everywhere (38/4/9), Baratović dished 11, and Lit racked up 30 assists between only 3 players. Forrai fired in 35 but added 6 turnovers—big buckets, costly mistakes. A reminder: when BC Lit moves the ball, they’re dangerous. The transfer list continues to loom…
⸻
🍀 Reductions 77 – Kiwi 76
Another nail-biter, another win. Up 9 early in the 4th, Reductions coughed it up late—turnover with 13 seconds left nearly doomed them. Kiwi grabbed the board (shoutout to everyone’s favorite Banana Hammock), but Gaffney’s trigger-happy three bricked, and Ying Ming’s foul ended the threat. Reductions move to 4-1 in games decided by 2 or fewer. Luck? Magic? Bribes? Whatever it is, it works.
⸻
🚀 Innovatus 109 – Llama 93
They turned The Barn into a petting zoo. Zigui (26/20, 8 OR) dominated inside, Ikoma controlled tempo, and Innovatus never let go. Llama couldn’t keep pace without a star to steady the ship. Another road scalp for a squad that plays its best ball on the road.
⸻
🍔 Tasty 117 – California Supreme 101
Wrong defense, wrong night for Cali. Benoit was absurdly efficient (21/18 on 10–13 shooting), Wui Kwong and crew stacked seven players in double figures, and Tasty moved it beautifully (33 assists). Suggs (35 pts) kept it respectable, but Supreme’s 29 rebounds total sunk them. Hard to win when you’re allergic to the glass.
⸻
🐅 Wasco 104 – Bench Mob 90
Bench wanted the upset, but Wasco’s frontcourt showed why they’re in first. Pisano (31/21) and Sorensen pounded the paint, Ascenfsão kept things balanced, and the Tigers walked away comfortable. Mob fought, but Wasco is just more steady.
⸻
🐗 Wellington 105 – FR-S 87
Zviedris did his usual (25/6/4), but FR-S had nothing left to say. Wellington methodically carved them apart—seven in double figures led by Wong and Bunn’s In-N-Out double double-doubles. Efficient, balanced, and never in doubt. FR-S is creeping toward auto-relegation territory.
⸻
🏀 Wobbles 132 – White Walkers 43
Brancato (28/25/6, 3 blk) looked like he was practicing post moves, Blum dropped a 21/11/11 triple-double off the bench, and Wobbles stacked 48 assists with 67 rebounds. Walkers walked.
⸻
📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• Brancato (Wobbles): 28/25/6, pure dominance.
• Pisano (Wasco): 31/21, a bully night.
• Pessach (BC Lit): 38/9, beast mode.
• McNally (Delta): Career game, clutch goaltend gift.
• Suggs (Cali): 35 pts, still carrying.

🔮 What It Means
Delta finally looked like their payroll, Reductions keep living on rabbit’s feet, and BC Lit reminded everyone they can still play. The worldwide-web of Wobbles, Wasco, and Wellington keep pounding, Innovatus keeps collecting road pelts, and Cali remains confusing.
