Team takeaways
- The Bernardigans shot efficiently at 30-of-63 (47.6%), made 19-of-27 two-pointers (70.4%), and posted a 56.3% effective field-goal percentage; #37 led with 13-of-22, including 9-of-11 from two.
- The staff created excellent ball movement and control28 assists on 30 made baskets and only 5 turnovers, with #37 contributing 10 assists and #98 adding 7 assists on 4-of-9 shooting.
- Defensively, the team collected 34 defensive rebounds, recorded 7 steals, committed only 4 fouls, and held Unction to 35.6% shooting while generating 15 turnovers; #37's 16 defensive rebounds and 3 steals led the effort.
- Reduce overreliance on #37He produced 33 of 74 points, 13 of 30 makes, and 10 of 28 assists, while also leading with 17 rebounds. Keep him as the primary hub, but design parallel actions and early secondary touches for #64, #99, #98, and #34 so the offense is less predictable if he is trapped or unavailable.
- Create second-chance and bonus opportunitiesThe team had only 1 offensive rebound on 63 attempts and only 5 free-throw attempts, making 3. Assign #37 and #99 weak-side crash and seal responsibilities, sharpen putback angles, and add downhill transition cuts that can produce rim contact; with such a small sample, the priority should be generating repeatable high-value looks rather than overreaching on the 60% line conversion.
- Improve perimeter-shot qualityThe team made 11 of 36 threes (30.6%), including 4-of-11 for #37 and 2-of-7 for #64. Use #98's passing to create relocation and corner opportunities, but balance perimeter volume with more early-clock rim and transition attacks so the team converts its spacing into a higher-efficiency shot mix.
The Bernardigans delivered the more complete performance; preserving their ball movement and defensive intensity while broadening scoring sources and improving shot quality will make the attack more sustainable.
- The staff can build around strong defensive reboundingUnction secured 30 defensive rebounds, with #33 collecting 11 boards, including 9 defensive and 2 offensive, and providing a physical interior anchor.
- Scoring was distributed, as all seven players scored. #15 supplied 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including 5-of-9 from three, while #0 added 10 points and 5 assists.
- The offense showed encouraging movement with 18 assists, and the group committed only 3 fouls. Those habits should be retained while the staff addresses efficiency and ball security.
- Shooting efficiency and shot selectionUnction went 21-of-59 overall (35.6%), 14-of-36 from two (38.9%), and 7-of-23 from three (30.4%); #28's 3-of-15 is the clearest example. Review release decisions on early-clock, non-rim attempts, then prioritize cuts, rim touches, and genuinely open threes, with #33 running the glass and #15 operating as the primary creator.
- Turnover control15 turnovers, compared with 5 by the Bernardigans, directly reduced offensive efficiency; #0 and #15 accounted for 9. Use no-drift dribbling, safer late-clock reads, a designated outlet, and short timeouts to stabilize possession when the trap is active.
- Defensive containmentThe Bernardigans shot 19-of-27 from two and 11-of-36 from three, while Unction recorded no steals or blocks. Establish a defined weak-side rim-protection rotation, keep a big attached to the nail, and use controlled closeouts to force contested late-clock jumpers rather than open threes or paint touches.
Unction showed balance and effort, but cleaner shot selection, tighter ball security, and stronger paint defense should unlock the team's existing rebounding and playmaking strengths.
