J17 Drunk vs So Close To What
Game recap
A 2-point nail-biter in every sense, So Close To What edged J17 Drunk 59-57 to push their record to a perfect 3-0. The result came down to one thing: the glass. SCTW ripped down 56 rebounds to J17's 38, including a staggering 23 offensive boards that fueled a parade of second chance points. That 23-to-9 offensive rebounding margin flipped extra possessions into the winning column, even though both offenses struggled to find any sort of rhythm from the floor.
J17 actually shot the higher percentage from the field (35% to 33%), but the volume gap told the real story. SCTW hoisted 81 shots to J17's 62, fueled by all those offensive rebounds. From beyond the arc, both teams were ice cold: J17 went 4-of-30 from three (13%), while SCTW managed just 3-of-22 (14%). Inside the arc told a different story, where J17 was sharper at 18-of-32 (56%), but SCTW's 24-of-59 (41%) on twice as many attempts won the possession battle.
#8 carried SCTW with 21 points on 9-of-28 shooting, burying 3 triples to keep the offense afloat. #77 was the engine underneath, stuffing the sheet with 14 points and a monstrous 23 rebounds (10 offensive, 13 defensive). #9 chipped in 14 on 7-of-14. For J17, #12 scored 17 on 6-of-14 with a pair of threes, #0 added 15 on 6-of-14, and #17 went a rough 4-of-20 from the field (1-of-14 from three) for 12 points.
Team takeaways
- Positives from the boxscore for J17 Drunk. First, the team shot an excellent 56.3 percent from two point range on 32 attempts, indicating smart shot selection and effective interior offense. Second, free throw shooting was a strength at 9 for 14, 64.3 percent, showing the team knows how to get to the line and capitalize. #0 and #12 both went 3 for 3 from the stripe. Third, the team played disciplined defense with only 5 personal fouls, keeping themselves out of foul trouble and allowing defenders to play aggressively throughout the game. #12 led the way with 17 points and 3 steals, while #0 added 15 points.
- Areas for improvement for J17 Drunk. First, three point shooting was extremely poor at 4 for 30, 13.3 percent, with #17 going 1 for 14 from deep. The coaching staff needs to reassess whether launching 30 threes is the right game plan, or whether the team should run offense through the high percentage two point attack which was working well. Second, offensive rebounding was nearly nonexistent with only 9 offensive boards against 23 allowed, a massive gap of 14 second chance opportunities surrendered. The team must crash the glass harder on both ends. Third, assist to turnover ratio was poor at 10 assists to 13 turnovers, suggesting stagnant half court offense. #999 had 3 turnovers with zero shot attempts, which indicates minutes may need to be redistributed to players who can create positive possessions.
- Positives from the boxscore for So Close To What. First, the team dominated the glass with 56 total rebounds, including 23 offensive boards, creating valuable second chance opportunities. #77 was outstanding on the boards with 23 rebounds. Second, the team shot a solid 40.7 percent from two point range on 59 attempts, showing they can score efficiently inside. Third, #8 provided a strong scoring punch with 21 points, including three made threes, while #77 added 14 points and #9 contributed 14 as well, giving the team multiple reliable scoring options.
- Areas for improvement for So Close To What. First, the three point shooting was a major weakness at 3 for 22, just 13.6 percent. The team must either identify shooters who can consistently knock down perimeter shots or commit to running offense through the high percentage two point looks. Second, the turnover problem is significant with 15 turnovers against only 11 assists, a poor assist to turnover ratio. Ball movement and decision making in transition need to improve, especially #8 who had 4 turnovers and #9 who had 3. Third, the team only attempted 4 free throws, an indicator that they are settling for contested jump shots rather than attacking the rim. Despite winning the rebounding battle decisively, they need to convert offensive boards into putbacks or drawn fouls rather than kickouts to cold perimeter shooters.
