Madrid Choitis v Buckner Bandits (133877541)
Madrid Choitis 114 - Buckner Bandits 69

🏀 Game Report: Buckner Bandits vs. Madrid Chotis
📉 Final Score: Madrid Chotis 114 – Buckner Bandits 69
📊 Bandits fall to 1-3 on the season

It was a tough night at home for the Buckner Bandits as Madrid Chotis stormed into town and handed them their most lopsided loss of the young season, 114-69. Despite strong individual efforts from a few Bandits, the team struggled to find rhythm against Chotis' sharp execution and swarming 3-2 zone defense.

🔥 Top Performers – Buckner Bandits
Kevin Moore (PG): 19 PTS | 5 REB | 3 AST
Moore led the scoring effort with his relentless attack, finding success at the line (5-7 FT) and knocking down a pair of threes. But it wasn’t enough to spark the offense.

Mick Hunt (SG): 17 PTS | 4 REB | 5 AST
Hunt once again showed veteran grit, staying aggressive and going a perfect 5-5 from the charity stripe.

William Moore (C): 10 PTS | 9 REB
William battled inside, nearly posting a double-double, but was often swarmed in the post by Chotis' bigs.

🧊 Offensive Woes
The Bandits shot just 23.6% from the field and 18.5% from beyond the arc, their coldest shooting night of the season. No player shot over 35% from the floor, with standout shooters like Costello (2-19 FG) and Lawler (0-6 FG) unable to find the mark.

💪 Madrid Chotis: Dominance on Display
Madrid Chotis controlled every aspect of the game:

A. Marroquín (PF): 29 PTS | 22 REB | 11-12 FT – an unstoppable force in the paint.

J. Castro-Girona (SG): 22 PTS | 8 REB | 7 AST – played both facilitator and scorer.

M. Bagunyà (C): 16 PTS | 18 REB | 4 BLK – owned the glass and protected the rim with authority.

Chotis outrebounded the Bandits 69 to 39 and shared the ball with 30 assists on 46 made field goals.

🚨 Looking Ahead
With the loss, the Bandits fall to 1-3 and will need to regroup quickly. Rebounding, offensive execution, and perimeter defense will be key focus areas in practice before the next matchup.

Despite the blowout, there were flashes of chemistry and hustle. If the Bandits can clean up their shooting and maintain defensive intensity, they’ll be in position to bounce back.

💬 Coach’s Message:

"We’ve got to take this one on the chin, watch the tape, and come back better. The fight’s still in us." – Coach Jenkins

Nice write-up, T-Lit. Looks likethe coach is still positive!

Thanks again, Hadár...
And you might like to hear about the latest news: fresh batch of new special stats, all-new to HGL have just been made available on that same post - 8 new categories in total!
More on them later (as I'm now too tired to write a longer post), but I just list recently added categories here:
1. Scoring Margin
2. Scoring Offense
3. Scoring Defense
4. Total Rebounding % (rebounding rate)
5. Offensive Rebounding %
6. Team Assist/Turnover ratio
7. Team Steals+Blocks per Turnover-ratio
8. Team Steals+Blocks per Fouls-ratio

Like I said, we can discuss more about (especially all these special statistics categories) a bit later in more thorough manner, but long story short: I always wanted to have these kind of stats to be available in Buzzerbeater or in buzzer-manager (or that for instance Finnish basketball league, Korisliiga, would provide these stats for real life games), but as they aren't, I guess there's no other way than to create them myself ;)
So I hope you all enjoy these HGL stats, at least half as much as I do, and let's keep on discussing about them... If you´re not enjoying what you see when you look at team stats (because you're not as high on the table as you'd like), then - as being HG team is more or less like a marathon - maybe you can copy these team stats at the end of the season 1 for your further reference, and hopefully will get some inspiration when you compare your Season 1 stats after 2-3 seasons, as you've climbed up the ladder on several statistical categories.

If you have any requests/wishes in terms of new statistics categories, you can send me a suggestion and we can see if it's something that could be somewhat easily implemented/introduced to HGL as a new team stats category. :)
However, my current stats post just ran out of characters, so in the case of added categories, I need to make another post elsewhere, or replace some of the existing categories on current team stats post.

🔥 Game Summary:
The Buckner Bandits were once again outpaced on both ends of the court, falling 120–97 to a sharp-shooting Holy City Hoopers squad. The Bandits struggled to contain the relentless offense of Hoopers forward S. Morgan, who torched them for 45 points and pulled down a game-high 24 rebounds.

Despite a strong effort from Mick Hunt, who dropped 31 points on 13-of-22 shooting, the Bandits couldn't keep up with the Hoopers' ball movement and dominance on the glass. The rebounding disparity (62 to 38) and a flurry of second-chance opportunities spelled doom for the home squad.

Mick Hunt (SG): 31 PTS, 5 3PT, 1 STL — Efficient scoring night despite little help on the perimeter.

Kevin Moore (PG): 17 PTS, 9 AST — A steady playmaker, but struggled from deep (1-8 3PT).
