NBBA Season 70 – Day 13 Recap (Saturday, November 29, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily
Lords Dominate, EBW and Knights Earn Rare Road Wins on a Night of Rest, Revenge, and Roster Shakeups
Day 13 unfolded as one of the strangest and most storyline-heavy nights of the season. Multiple teams unexpectedly rested lineups despite this being an All-Star Week single-game schedule. Splash Gang fielded scrubs against the division-leading Cavaliers. Stark Contrast sat their starters for unknown reasons shortly after acquiring defensive prospect Ersin Çevikel for $1 million. And shorthanded teams — including EBW and the post-selloff Kings Knights — rose to the challenge with rare and determined road victories.
Roster news was everywhere: Kings Knights officially moved on from José Carandil and Jacob Elrod. ETBU Tigers began rebuilding by adding Nigerian NT point guard Robert Diallo for $900k and guard Huang Rongtian. EBW sold Glenn Prescott for $897,100. Meanwhile, Jumpstop Jumpers lost key guard Dano Cho to a facial cut, sidelining him for an estimated 12–24 days.
On the court, the league saw two uncommon road wins — EBW and the revenge-driven Kings Knights
87ers Take Down 10inch Vertical at Home
Delaware earned one of their best wins of the season, defeating 10inch Vertical 96–87 on their home court. Behind relentless rebounding and superior composure in the final minutes, the 87ers protected their gym and handed Vertical a frustrating road loss. While not a road upset, the victory still stands out given Vertical’s usual dominance against lower-ranked opponents.
Lords Obliterate Stark Contrast in a Stunning 116–32 Road Smash
Los Angeles Lords demolished Stark Contrast in one of the biggest away blowouts in league history, 116–32. Starks — shockingly benching their starters during a week with only one scheduled game — stood no chance. LA’s defense, led by Rivera, suffocated every possession. The addition of Çevikel bodes well long-term for Starks, but this one was never competitive
Kings Knights Earn Revenge vs Visionaries in Determined Road Triumph
Playing with a shorthanded roster after selling both Carandil and Elrod, the Kings Knights dug deep to defeat the Visionaries 97–80 on the road. The win carried emotional weight — the Knights were knocked out early in the Cup by Visionaries, and this matchup doubled as a chance to strike back. Short’s steady leadership and the team’s effort-driven defense made the difference as the soft-tank era begins with surprising grit.
Mill City Edges LA Lions Behind a 45-Point Explosion
Mill City Thunder won a tough 103–96 battle at home against the LA Lions, powered by Quiroz’s monstrous 45-point performance. LA kept the game tight, but Mill City’s elite trio closed strong to remain in the playoff push.
TarTeam Outguns Rebuilding ETBU Tigers
TarTeam overpowered ETBU 120–99 in a matchup defined by ETBU’s newly assembled roster. Diallo showed immediate flashes of national-team-caliber play, and Rongtian provided stability, but chemistry will take time. TarTeam controlled the paint and tempo throughout.
Cavaliers Destroy Splash Gang After SG Fields Backup Lineup
Virginia Cavaliers crushed Splash Gang 136–25 in perhaps the most lopsided mismatch of the season. With Splash Gang unexpectedly fielding scrubs against the division leaders, the Cavaliers racked up season-high numbers across the board. Saucedo’s 29-point, 30-rebound, 5-block masterpiece stole the show.
