The Raiders vs Warriors
Game recap
The Raiders took care of business at home, rolling to a 54-35 win over the Warriors in a game that was never really in doubt. From the opening tip, The Raiders imposed their will on the glass and executed in the half court, while the Warriors struggled to find any offensive rhythm. The Raiders pushed the margin early and never let the Warriors climb back into it, controlling tempo the entire way.
The stat sheet tells the story. The Raiders shot 20-of-48 from the floor, 41.7%, including a red hot 7-of-20 from beyond the arc. They dominated the paint and the glass, hauling in 42 rebounds to just 26 for the Warriors, with 10 offensive boards giving them extra chances all night. The Warriors, meanwhile, had a brutal shooting night, connecting on only 13-of-52, just 25%, and a frigid 4-of-20 from three, 20%. They mustered only 9 made twos on 32 tries in the paint and mid-range. Free throws were also lopsided, with The Raiders hitting 9-of-14 and the Warriors just 4-of-9.
Individually, the Raiders were led by #92, who poured in 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-5 from deep, plus 3 rebounds and 3 assists. #14 added 14 points on 5-of-7, going 4-of-6 from three and pulling down 8 boards with 2 blocks. #13 chipped in 6 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, #24 finished with 8 points and 6 boards, and #1 battled through a 1-of-9 night to add some defensive energy.
For the Warriors, #98 led the way with 11 points on 5-of-12. #12 battled for 9 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3 steals, but shot just 3-of-22. #8 added 8 points, including 2-of-2 from deep.
A wire-to-wire wire job by The Raiders, sharp shooting, and a glass advantage that suffocated the Warriors all night.
Team takeaways
- Coaching staff, solid work securing the 56-34 victory. Three clear positives stand out from the boxscore. First, your team dominated the glass with 42 total rebounds (32 defensive) compared to the opponent's 26, giving you a massive 16-rebound advantage and limiting second-chance opportunities for the Warriors. Third, your two-point shooting efficiency was excellent at 46.4 percent (13 of 28), showing disciplined shot selection inside the arc. Finally, the offensive balance was encouraging, with #92 delivering a game-high 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting (63.6 percent) and #14 adding 14 points on an efficient 5-of-7 from the field. The defensive rebounding effort in particular set the tone and allowed your transition offense to thrive.
- Despite the win, there are three areas we must address in practice this week. First, turnovers remain a concern with 10 giveaways, including two each from #1 and #92, which could prove costly against tougher competition. Second, while #1 contributed defensively with two steals, the offensive output was concerning at 1-of-9 shooting (11.1 percent) and zero points from the field, indicating shot selection or confidence issues that need film review. Third, several rotation players contributed almost nothing offensively. #0 had one point on 0-of-1 shooting with two foul attempts, #2 went 0-of-2 with a turnover, #4 scored zero on 0-of-0 attempts, and #6 managed just one point on 0-of-2 shooting. We need to develop bench depth and reduce reliance on our top scorers, as the 22-point margin of victory will not always mask these inefficiencies.
- Coaching staff, a tough 34-56 loss, but there are positives to build upon. #12 showed tremendous two-way effort with 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, providing an interior defensive anchor despite the team's overall struggles. The ball movement remained respectable with 9 assists on 13 made field goals, and turnovers were kept to a manageable 7, showing the offense did not completely collapse under pressure. Additionally, the team managed 9 offensive rebounds against a strong Raiders frontcourt, demonstrating fight and effort on the offensive glass that gives us a foundation to build from.
- Three critical areas require immediate attention after this disappointing performance. First, the shooting efficiency was alarming across the board, 25.0 percent from the field (13 of 52), 28.1 percent on two-pointers (9 of 32), and just 20.0 percent from three-point range (4 of 20). This level of inefficiency is unsustainable and suggests either poor shot selection or a need for offensive scheme adjustments. Second, #12 attempted an unsustainable 22 field goals while converting only 3 (13.6 percent), including 0 of 7 from three-point range, indicating the offense became overly reliant on one player who was clearly off his game. Third, free throw shooting at 44.4 percent (4 of 9) and the rebounding deficit of minus-16 against the Raiders exposed fundamental execution issues. The team also committed 9 fouls without generating enough defensive stops, suggesting we need to tighten up defensive rotations while also being more disciplined. Recommend immediate focus on shot selection drills, ball movement to distribute touches more evenly, and rebounding fundamentals in practice this week.
