by Buzz Beat Daily
Great 8 Flex Their Muscle on the Road; Splash Gang Destroy Visionaries; Petrescu Erupts for 45
Day 10 belonged to the Great 8, who delivered one of the strongest collective road performances of the season. The Los Angeles Lords, Virginia Cavaliers, Silverbacks, TarTeam, Jumpstop Jumpers, and Mill City Thunder all won away from home, flipping the league’s usual home-court advantage upside-down. Splash Gang authored one of the most dominant statistical nights in recent memory, the Jumpstop Jumpers rode a 45-point explosion from C. Petrescu, and the Visionaries — resting players for the Cup — paid the price against a team in full attack mode.
Splash Gang Obliterate the Resting Visionaries in a Historic Rout
The Visionaries rotated heavily ahead of National Cup action, and Splash Gang punished the decision with a 121–28 dismantling. SG controlled every possible category: 121 points, 72 rebounds, 28 assists, and 16 blocks. Kozin orchestrated with 17 boards and 9 assists, Sulaiman swatted 7 shots, and Anderson posted the top rating of the night. A ruthless, record-level performance against a shorthanded opponent.
Lords Celebrate Carlos Rivera’s Arrival With a Strong Road Win
Fresh off acquiring Spanish SF Carlos Rivera for 1.5M, the Los Angeles Lords defeated 10inch Vertical 86–77 on the road. Rivera’s arrival sparked energy throughout the squad, and the Lords closed the game with composure and physicality. It’s a statement road win and a promising early sign of the team’s new direction.
Petrescu Drops 45 as Jumpstop Jumpers Shock ETBU
Jumpstop Jumpers claimed one of the night’s signature victories, beating ETBU Tigers 91–84 behind a sensational 45-point performance from C. Petrescu — the evening’s MVP with a 40 efficiency. Chung Man added a monstrous 23 rebounds, dominating the interior. ETBU made a late push, but Petrescu’s shotmaking iced the game.
Silverbacks Muscle Past Kings Knights in Another Road Statement
The Silverbacks continued their hot streak with a disciplined 95–87 road win over the Kings Knights. Carmona’s 32 points and 7 assists anchored the attack, earning him the top PG nod of the evening. The Knights battled, but the Silverbacks’ defensive backbone and patient offense proved too strong down the stretch.
Mill City Thunder Stay Sharp, Defeat Wobbles on the Road
Mill City handled their business with a clean 96–75 win over the Wobbles. Their defense triggered transitions with a night-high 9 steals. As Cup week approaches, Mill City looks locked in and increasingly cohesive.
TarTeam Overpowers LA Lions to Extend Road Success
TarTeam grabbed another important road victory with a 108–94 win over The LA Lions. Wheatley exploded for 38 points and five threes, leading an offense that repeatedly stretched the Lions’ defensive coverage. TarTeam’s rhythm and spacing were elite all game.
ExplosiveBubbleWrap Overcome Delaware with Balanced Team Play
EBW stayed steady in a 105–83 win over the Delaware 87ers. Vega’s 9 assists guided the attack, and EBW looked more structurally sound than in recent weeks. With Dowell returning to full rhythm, EBW may finally be regaining form.
Virginia Cavaliers Grind Out Tough Road Win Over Stark Contrast
Virginia earned an impressive 87–79 road victory over Stark Contrast, who couldn’t match the Cavaliers’ tempo and shot creation. Despite foul trouble for Castro, Virginia’s depth delivered steady scoring and defensive discipline to finish the job.
