Team takeaways
- Rebounding advantageThe Titans won the glass 40-16 and held a commanding 18-2 advantage in offensive rebounds. This possession control was central to generating 55 field-goal attempts and the 52-46 win, so the staff should continue emphasizing box-outs, gang rebounding, and organized offensive crashes.
- Defensive disruptionThe Titans recorded 9 steals compared with The Crew's 2 and forced 14 turnovers while holding The Crew to 14 of 38 shooting and 5 of 21 from three. Maintaining pressure on the ball, strong communication, and disciplined closeouts should remain a core defensive priority.
- Balanced scoring and interior attackThe Titans generated 26 points from 32 two-point attempts, with three players scoring in double figures. #32 contributed 14 points and 12 rebounds, Perrin added 11 points and 6 assists, and #15 produced 10 points and 11 rebounds. The staff should continue building possessions around the paint, second-side reads, and multiple reliable contributors.
- Offensive conversionThe Titans shot 19 of 55 overall (34.5%), 6 of 23 from three (26.1%), and 8 of 12 from the line (66.7%). The shot volume was strong, but the execution was not. Improve open-three quality through screening and relocation, use early offense before the defense is set, and reinforce a consistent free-throw routine while retaining the productive two-point attack.
- Turnover controlThe Titans committed 14 turnovers, including four by #15 and two each by Perrin, #00, and #8. Although the defensive pressure created steals, cleaner decisions would increase the value of the team's possession advantage. Simplify actions, avoid risky live-ball passes, and establish clear turnover triggers in late-clock situations.
- Defensive efficiencyThe Crew made 9 of 17 twos (52.9%) and 13 of 16 free throws (81.3%), with Akbari making five threes. Tighten help defense and rim protection, close out without reaching or fouling, and force difficult perimeter attempts rather than allowing efficient paint touches or uncontested free throws.
The Titans earned the win through superior rebounding, defensive pressure, and balanced scoring, but sharper shot conversion, tighter turnover control, and more disciplined defensive execution will make that formula repeatable.
- Two-point efficiencyThe Crew made 9 of 17 two-point attempts (52.9%), its clearest offensive strength, and should continue emphasizing cuts, early offense, and paint attacks that create high-percentage looks.
- Free-throw executionThe Crew went 13 of 16 (81.3%), accounting for 13 of its 46 points. Maintaining the pre-shot routine and deliberately getting to the line when the defense cuts off a drive will be valuable in close games.
- Defensive shot profileThe Crew held the Titans to 19 of 55 shooting overall (34.5%) and 6 of 23 from three (26.1%) while the Titans committed 14 turnovers. Continue the closeout positioning and ball pressure responsible for this result without sacrificing rebounding assignments.
- ReboundingThe Crew collected only 2 offensive rebounds and 16 total, compared with the Titans' 18 offensive rebounds and 40 total. That 24-rebound gap directly created extra opportunities and helps explain the Titans' 55 field-goal attempts. Use clear box-out responsibilities, gang rebounding, and selective offensive crashes to secure more possessions.
- Shot balanceThe Crew attempted 21 threes versus 17 twos and converted only 5 of 21 from three (23.8%), while going 9 of 17 from two. The goal should not be to eliminate threes, but to create better looks through screening, relocation, and drive-and-kick actions; when a three is not available, attack the closeout or find the cutter rather than settling for the first perimeter option.
- Turnover control and ball movementThe Crew committed 13 turnovers and generated only 9 assists on 14 made field goals, with Akbari and Tashkin each committing four turnovers and #8 committing three. Simplify late-clock actions, emphasize an extra pass and high-post or relocation reads, and tighten live-ball security so possessions are not lost.
The Crew remains competitive because of its efficient two-point shooting, excellent free throws, and defensive resistance, but improving rebounding, shot balance, and turnover control will make its performance more sustainable.
