📅 Game 22 (Saturday, Sept 27, 2025)
Final night delivered chaos, career lines, and a buzzer-free heartbreaker. Tasty nuked the scoreboard, Wellington’s Bowling went Wilt, and Ferth swiped win as brackets locked in. Buckle up.

🌟 Game of the Night: Delta 103 – Ferth 104 💊🌪️
Eleven lead changes in a frantic final few moments and Ferth got the last word. Delta rode Olmos 30/6/8 and Porter’s efficient 29, but Faltýnek’s steady interior (22 pts, 15 reb) and Spuldzinieks’ 10 ast kept Ferth within striking distance. Whistle at the horn, cool free throws, ballgame Ferth. Ferth heads to the relegation series with momentum; Delta enters the 2–3 slugfest with Kiwi knowing late-game execution matters.

🦬 Wasco 106 – Llama 108 🦙🔥
Fun, tight, and a little weird. Sorensen (21) and Pisano 23 pts, 23 reb did their bully-ball thing, but Llama spread it around—Kung yung (23/9/5), Boyd (20), Mengler (20)—and hit just enough late freebies to steal it at The Barn. Wasco already had the 1-seed; Llama gets the moral victory before their relegation matchup.

📈 Meridian 125 – BC Lituanica 99 🟣📬
Meridian sprinted into the 4 with the last Big 8 ticket: Curley 31 (13–15 FG), Nash (20 & 9 ast), Sarafis (20), and Pollock’s glue-guy line (15/6/10) powered a 77-point first half. Pessach tried everything (33) and Paama added 27, but Meridian’s 37 ast parsed Lituanica’s M2M apart.

🍔 Reductions 83 – Tasty 153 💥🍿
Tasty made the rim look like a hula hoop: Büki 43 in 23 minutes going 10-10 FROM 3, plus four more starters at 16+ as Princeton carved up the Patient look. 55–79–24 splits, 30 ast, and a +70 mic drop. Reductions took it easy and was grateful for the cardio.
⸻
🧠 Bench Mob 106 – Innovatus 124 🧪⚙️
Clinic from Ikoma: 31 on 14–16 with tempo control, Thomas (27/9) and Zigui (22/7) piled on, and Innovatus hit 50–62–100 splits. Mob had bright spots—Papitzakis 28, McFadden/Huffman 16 each—but Innovatus’ length and 3–2 discipline suffocated the wings.
⸻
🕸️ Wobbles 116 – FR-S 103 🌊
Workmanlike #1 energy. Samara 22, Er-Rai 22, and Hosemann’s monster boardwork (19 reb, 8 ast) plus Rivera’s 13 dimes kept FR-S at arm’s length despite Zviedris’ 29 and Mims’ 28. Wobbles look playoff-ready and deep.
⸻
🐑 Kiwi 130 – California 68 🧼
Kiwi dominated the glass (63 reb) and shared it (29 ast). Palma 26 (8 ast), Yost 21 (10 reb), Hess Araya 16 (6 OR), Guaraes 10 (15 reb) … a team photo. Vogt fired a heroic 53 for Cali, but help never arrived.
⸻
❄️ White Walkers 56 – Wellington 124 🐗🧱
Bowling turned in a video game: 33 pts, 31 reb (16 OR). Cisneros nearly posted a triple-double (33/11/9). Wellington racked 63 boards, 28 ast, 19 stl; the Walkers…ya know.

📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• A. Bowling (Wellington): 33 & 31 (16 OR!), sledgehammer on the glass.
• E. Büki (Tasty): 43 on 15–18, 10 threes in 23 minutes—microwave madness.
• E. Vogt (Cali): 53 and almost all of his team’s offense—respect the grind.
• T. Ikoma (Innovatus): 31 on 14–16 with control; playoff metronome.
• B. Curley (Meridian): 31 on 13–15, set the tone in a must-win.

🔮 Playoff Preview Bites
• Wobbles–Meridian: WOB’s size/flow (Rivera–Hosemann synergy) vs Curley’s interior polish. Meridian must win the turnover and FT margin battle to steal one.
• Innovatus–Reductions: Ikoma/Zigui efficiency vs Patient iso. This one will tilt quick.
• Wasco–Wellington: Pisano’s league-best boards vs Bowling’s insane 16 OR—yes please. Guard play (Davis/Ascensão vs Cisneros/Frey) decides pace.
• Delta–Kiwi: Olmos/Porter punch meets Kiwi’s 63-rebound vibe. If Kiwi owns the glass again, this gets spicy. If not, Delta’s shooting wins the math.

Thanks - my little write-ups seem to have achieved their goal!

This was a fun little experiment, although I’m not sure I’ll do it again. At least, I doubt I’ll do it in the same way as this season. I’m thinking through what next season looks like- what’s interesting/entertaining but not as time consuming.

I’ve got an end of season post coming up this afternoon and then I’ll play around with some playoff ideas before taking a couple weeks off for the draft, where I’m certain to get a 6’8, $12k/wk, ATG 18 y/o with 85 TSP. I’m quitting if I pull anything less.
