by Buzzer-Manager
Smallfries Explode for 137, Irregulars Celebrate 900th Win, and Kings Knights Win the Clash of Titans
From historic team wins to superstar individual nights, Day 17 brought fireworks across the league. Smallfries detonated for a season-high 137 points, Kings Knights edged out Blue Ocean in a nail-biter, and Baker Street marked their 900th club win in style. The playoff air is getting heavier—some are rising, some are unraveling.
Smallfries Torch southpaw army, Again
We’re running out of adjectives for this team. The Friez demolished southpaw army 137–60, led by MVP N. Neside’s 27 & 10 with 4 steals and 3 blocks. G. Bandeira chipped in 23–7–5. Smallfries also posted team highs across the board: 137 points, 65 boards, 39 assists, 18 steals, and 11 blocks. It’s official—this team has arrived.
Kings Knights Edge Blue Ocean in the Heavyweight Duel
This was the game of the night. Kings Knights held off Blue Ocean 112–107 in a back-and-forth showdown that had playoff energy. Silva was superb for Blue (25 & 13), but it wasn’t enough to stop the Knights’ closing execution. No stars needed to go nuclear—just smart, poised team basketball. These two could meet again soon… and it would be must-watch.
Irregulars Crush Wavy for Win No. 900
Baker Street Irregulars delivered their best win of the season, stomping Wavy Gates 110–91 at home to secure their 900th club win. G. Ruxing caught fire for 37 points and N. Radenović played disruptor with 5 steals. Wavy looked flat again—have the champs truly lost their edge?
TAR HEELS #1 Keep Rolling, Big Forest Burns
The Heels bullied Big Forest 119–80, with Mikos and company coasting behind confident, up-tempo ball. Mikos had a clean 26–6–3 night with 3 steals. This team looks locked in and peaking at the right time.
Overton Goes Off in Hooligans’ Shootout Win
Hemet Hooligans needed every bit of S. Overton’s 36-point eruption to get past Harbor City Storm 125–111. Freeman had 14 assists for the Storm, but the Hooligans’ size and pace wore them down.
Flying Ostriches Clip Wasted Potential
The Ostriches shut down Wasted Potential 89–73 with a focused defensive effort. C. Webb had a brutal outing for WP, finishing with a -6 efficiency. The Ostriches are trending upward—Wasted Potential, not so much.
Village Idiots Annihilate the Mambas
Village Idiots ran through The White Mambas 116–67 in a clinic on pace and movement. Lambert went the distance, and the entire team feasted on Mambas mistakes. Southpaw isn’t the only squad imploding.
Mildcats Handle Business vs. SomeTeam
Corntucky took care of SomeTeam 84–69 with V. Fraser patrolling the paint (7 blocks, 48 minutes). Utters grabbed 18 boards for SomeTeam in vain. Another quiet step forward for the surging ‘Cats.
Key Takeaways
• Smallfries have become a scary good machine—Oskroba, Bandeira, Neside… it’s playoff-ready.
• Kings Knights passed a huge test with calm under fire.
• Wavy Gates are suddenly in real trouble—third loss in four.
• Baker Street Irregulars celebrated a milestone in style.
• Overton may be the most underrated star in the league.
• Blue Ocean fought valiantly, but top seeds don’t care about “close.”
• The bottom tier teams—southpaw, Mambas, SomeTeam—are getting buried.
Final Word:
Day 17 was a proving ground. The elite sharpened their form, the middle shook things up, and the bottom… got steamrolled. Smallfries just posted the most dominant performance of the season, Kings Knights showed their mettle, and Baker Street etched their name into the history books.
Playoff clarity is coming. Just not for the teams stuck looking up.
