Military TrailBlazers vs Tune Squad
Game recap
Military TrailBlazers edged Tune Squad 39-37 in a two-point nail-biter, and the box score shows why the margin stayed so close. Military did not shoot well, but it attacked the glass and punished foul shots. The statistical hinge was the TrailBlazers’ 22 offensive rebounds to Tune Squad’s 5 and 9 made free throws to 2, giving Military extra chances and a critical advantage at the line. Tune still controlled shooting efficiency and stayed within two points at the finish.
Military shot 13-of-50, 26%, including 10-of-31 from two and 3-of-19 from beyond the arc. Tune Squad was sharper at 16-of-43, 37%, with 13-of-30 from two and 3-of-13 from three. Military’s 16 turnovers and 5 assists show the win was built on pressure and second chances rather than crisp ball movement. Tune recorded 10 steals and 3 blocks, including #21’s three, but could not erase the foul-line and rebounding gaps.
Individual production kept the score tight. #99 led Military with 11 points on 4-of-12, while #11 delivered 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, 9 of them offensive. #22 added 8 points and 10 boards, and #98 posted 7 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Tune’s #28 led all scorers with 13 points on 5-of-9, including 3-of-6 from three, and #3 added 8 points on 4-of-9. In the end, Tune’s cleaner shooting could not overcome the TrailBlazers’ extra possessions and superior work on the offensive glass.
Team takeaways
- The TrailBlazers won the glass decisively with 22 offensive rebounds and 43 total rebounds, compared with Tune Squad's 5 and 26. #11 led the effort with 9 offensive boards, while #98 and #22 added 5 and 4. Continue emphasizing early box-outs, gang-rebound assignments, and securing the ball with two hands after defensive rebounds.
- The team created a decisive free-throw advantage, shooting 19 attempts and making 9 versus Tune's 4 attempts and 2 makes. #22 and #98 combined for 13 trips to the line. Preserve the downhill drives, cuts, and seal action that generates contact, while maintaining spacing so help defenders cannot load the lane.
- The defense showed disruptive activity and good discipline with 9 steals and only 6 team fouls. The steals contributed to Tune's 15 turnovers, while the low foul total helped preserve the 19-4 free-throw edge. Continue applying pressure with active hands and disciplined closeouts rather than reaching or gambling for steals.
- Field-goal efficiency was the main offensive dragThe TrailBlazers shot 13 of 50 overall (26.0%), 10 of 31 from two (32.3%), and 3 of 19 from three (15.8%). #11 went 4 of 17, #99 4 of 12, and #98 2 of 9. Use film review to separate rim, midrange, and deep attempts, then prioritize paint touches, cuts, transition opportunities, and corner threes instead of contested long-range attempts.
- Possession decision-making needs improvement, with 16 turnovers and only 5 assists, producing a 0.31 assist-to-turnover ratio. #11 and #22 each committed 5 turnovers. Simplify reads, establish clear post or paint-entry options, use early offense before the defense sets, and make outlets and advance passes priorities.
- Free-throw execution fell short at 9 of 19 (47.4%), with 10 misses; notably, #22 shot 3 of 7 and #98 3 of 6. Review each shooter's routine, add controlled rebounding and breathing steps, and use short pressure-free sessions to improve rhythm and consistency.
Retain the rebounding and free-throw pressure that produced the win, while improving shot quality, ball security, and foul shooting.
- Tune Squad achieved better relative shooting efficiency, connecting on 16 of 43 field goals (37.2%), 13 of 30 two-pointers (43.3%), and 3 of 13 three-pointers (23.1%). #28 led the unit with 13 points on 5 of 9 shooting and 3 of 6 from three. Continue building the offense around high-percentage paint touches, timely cuts, and spacing that creates clean looks.
- The scoring was distributed across six players#28 scored 13, #3 added 8, #30 had 7, and #26 scored 5. This reduced dependence on one primary scorer. Continue using off-ball screening, weak-side cuts, and early secondary actions so #28 and #3 can create advantages without forcing low-efficiency isolation shots.
- The team showed strong defensive disruption with 10 steals and 3 blocks. #23 recorded 4 steals, while #21 anchored the interior with 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Build on this activity by converting turnovers and blocks into early offense before the defense can reorganize.
- Rebounding was the clearest weakness, with only 5 offensive rebounds and 26 total rebounds against Military's 22 and 43. This limited second-chance opportunities and contributed to the one-point 37-38 result. Although #21 collected 8 defensive rebounds, the team needs stronger box-out coverage, quicker help rotations, and a designated gang-rebound response on every missed shot.
- The 15 team fouls were a major strategic liability compared with Military's 6, and Tune surrendered 19 free-throw attempts while taking only 4. #21 committed 4 fouls. Defensively, defenders should stay vertical, avoid reaching, communicate on rotations, and close out under control; offensively, stronger paint pressure and offensive-rebound activity can create more legitimate trips to the line.
- The offense generated only 6 assists while committing 15 turnovers, a 0.40 assist-to-turnover ratio. #23 had 3 turnovers, with #26 and #3 adding 2 each. Simplify half-court reads, use stronger early ball movement, emphasize relocation after screens, and establish primary and secondary passing options to reduce giveaways and create more assisted baskets.
Keep the efficient shooting, balanced scoring, and defensive pressure, while rebounding, foul discipline, and cleaner possession decisions must become the immediate priorities.
