NBBA Season 70 – Day 11 Recap (Saturday, November 22, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily
Starks and Splash Gang Claim the Only Road Wins on a Balanced Night
Day 11 brought a return to normalcy in the NBBA, with home teams dominating across the board — except for two standouts. Stark Contrast and Splash Gang were the only squads to capture road victories, further highlighting how rare away wins remain this season. Jumpstop Jumpers again rested key players for Cup preservation, while several contenders tightened rotations to keep momentum before the upcoming Cup rounds.
TarTeam Control the Pace to Beat 10inch Vertical
TarTeam continued their strong form with a steady 91–77 road win over 10inch Vertical. Their disciplined half-court execution kept Vertical’s offense contained, while Wheatley and Kruger powered a consistent scoring rhythm. TarTeam look locked in ahead of Cup play.
Stark Contrast Dominate Resting Jumpstop
With Jumpstop Jumpers sitting several rotation players to stay fresh for the Cup, Stark Contrast took full advantage in an 85–51 victory. Valentin steered the offense while Stark’s pressure defense produced a season-high 11 steals. Starks climb to 5–4 and continue rediscovering their early-season identity.
Lords Outmuscle the Kings Knights Behind Rivera’s Arrival Momentum
The Los Angeles Lords rolled into Kings Knights territory and delivered a commanding 105–87 win. Newly acquired Spanish SF Carlos Rivera didn’t even need a breakout scoring night — his arrival has clearly energized the roster. Nicomedes controlled the boards, and the Lords’ physicality proved too much for the Knights’ perimeter-oriented attack.
Visionaries Survive the Lions in a Shootout
The Visionaries edged out the LA Lions 106–97 thanks to a huge night from Timm (33 points) and a 12-assist masterclass from Dirk. The Lions shot well but struggled to contain Visionaries’ guard penetration late. Visionaries stay competitive despite recent rotation experimentation.
Silverbacks Escape ETBU in a Defensive Grind
In the closest game of the night, the Silverbacks held on 81–79 behind an absurd 22-rebound, 6-assist, 4-steal performance from R. Jones. ETBU battled hard behind Kangshan’s 6 blocks, but the ’Backs’ interior defense sealed it late. Another gritty win for one of the league’s toughest defensive squads.
Splash Gang Smash the 87ers as Pop Leads the Charge
Splash Gang were one of only two teams to win on the road, beating the Delaware 87ers 92–71. Pop delivered 5 steals while Kozin continued his elite interior passing. SG’s blend of athletic pressure and rebounding overwhelmed Delaware from the second quarter onward.
Mill City Crush EBW Behind a Balanced Two-Way Effort
Mill City Thunder hammered ExplosiveBubbleWrap 114–67 in the most lopsided result of the night. Their depth shined again, with several role players stepping up while Prescott did all he could for EBW (19 points, 19 rebounds). Mill City’s Cup momentum is building fast.
Cavaliers Destroy Wobbles, Irizarry Shines
The Cavaliers delivered the best team performance of the evening in a 117–65 rout of the Wobbles. Irizarry dropped 32 points with ease, and Virginia’s frontcourt overwhelmed Wobbles on the glass. This win pushes the Cavs closer to the top tier of NBBA contenders.
Final Word
Day 11 saw home teams dominate, with only Stark Contrast and Splash Gang breaking through on the road. Jumpstop again rested for Cup week, while major contenders — TarTeam, Mill City, Cavaliers, Silverbacks, and the revitalized Lords — strengthened their positioning heading into a crucial stretch of the season.
