D&B vs Eastside Warriors
Game recap
D&B took care of business, knocking off Eastside Warriors 59-49 in a game they controlled from start to finish. The 10-point margin doesn't fully capture how lopsided this one felt, because D&B owned the glass, 40 rebounds to just 24 for Eastside. Eastside couldn't grab a single offensive board all night (zero, on the dot), while D&B crashed the offensive glass for 9 second-chance opportunities and limited Eastside to one shot per trip down the floor. D&B worked the paint efficiently at 15-of-28 from two (53.6%) and buried 9 triples to keep Eastside's defense honest. Eastside clawed within striking range on a few runs, but a rough 3-of-8 night at the free throw line and just 6-of-22 from distance kept the offense stuck in the mud.
On the stat sheet, D&B shot 24-of-59 overall (40.7%), with a balanced shot profile: 15-of-28 in the paint, 9-of-31 from beyond the arc. Eastside finished 20-of-53 (37.7%), going 14-of-31 inside and 6-of-22 from three. The rebounding disparity was the headline: D&B's 31 defensive boards swallowed up Eastside misses, while Eastside's zero offensive rebounds meant every empty trip was a guaranteed D&B possession.
#23 (D&B) led all scorers with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists on 7-of-15 shooting, including 3-from-9 from deep. #14 (D&B) was a wrecking ball inside, dropping 14 points on 7-of-9, all from two-point range, while grabbing 10 boards. #1 (Eastside) answered with 16 points and 6 rebounds on 6-of-14, and #3 (Eastside) added 10 points on 5-of-10, all from inside the arc.
Team takeaways
- Positives worth building onFirst, the team dominated the glass with 40 total rebounds (9 offensive, 31 defensive), a +16 advantage that created extra possessions and limited second-chance opportunities for the opposition. Second, the ball movement was strong with 16 assists, suggesting the offense is functioning with good spacing and unselfish play. Third, two-point efficiency was excellent at 53.6 percent (15 of 28), and the interior presence was felt with 3 blocks and strong post play from #14, who posted a near-perfect 7 of 9 from inside and grabbed 10 rebounds. #23 also delivered a balanced 19-point, 8-rebound, 3-assist line. Overall, the team showed the ability to win the possession battle and execute in the half court.
- First, the three-point shot was a major weakness at 29.0 percent (9 of 31). The volume of threes taken (31) actually exceeded two-point attempts (28), which is an inefficient shot distribution given the conversion rate. We need to rebalance the shot chart, prioritize higher-percentage looks, and run shooters off screens rather than off the dribble. Second, we only attempted 2 free throws for the entire game. That tells me we are settling for jump shots rather than attacking the rim and drawing contact. We need more drives, more post-ups with deep seals, and more off-ball cuts to force the defense into foul trouble. Third, the 10 turnovers are too high for a team that wants to control tempo. Several came from live-ball mistakes (#22 had 3, #55 had 2), and those directly fuel transition points for opponents. Cleaner decision-making, stronger pivot footwork in the post, and better spacing on pick-and-roll reads should help cut this down. Tighten the shot selection, get to the line, and protect the ball, and this is a very different second half for us.
- Positives worth building onFirst, the defensive activity was a clear bright spot with 6 steals, showing that the perimeter defenders are engaged, reading passing lanes, and disrupting the opposing backcourt. Second, the team stayed disciplined and only committed 7 fouls, which kept us out of bonus trouble and avoided putting the opponent on the line repeatedly. Third, we had balanced individual contributors. #1 led with an efficient 16 points on 6 of 14 shooting and 6 rebounds, while #3 added 10 points and #13 chipped in 9 with 5 boards. Two-point shooting at 45.2 percent was respectable and shows the offense can generate quality looks inside the arc. There is a foundation here to build on, particularly on the defensive end and in our half-court execution.
- First and most glaring, we had zero offensive rebounds. That is a complete loss of the second-chance battle and a major reason we were outrebounded 40 to 24 overall. We need to crash the glass harder, send three or four bodies to the rim on every shot, and box out with more physicality. The lack of putback opportunities directly suppressed our scoring output. Second, our free throw shooting at 3 of 8 (37.5 percent) was a major liability. We need to dedicate practice time to free throws, develop a consistent pre-shot routine, and make sure our best shooters are the ones getting to the line. Third, we did not record a single blocked shot, and our interior defense lacked presence. Opponents were able to attack the rim without fear of rejection. We need to establish better verticality from our bigs and help-side defenders. Additionally, the 3-point shot fell at only 27.3 percent (6 of 22), and we need to either generate cleaner catch-and-shoot looks or reduce the volume of contested threes. Address the glass, the foul line, and the paint, and we put ourselves in a much better position to compete.
