🔥 Storyline: The Narrow Miss

In Week 2 of the Gambling Intervention League, Killa’s squad went toe-to-toe with Barron’s Boom Roasted in a matchup decided by inches.

Killa’s 711 points on .468 FG % were among the best shooting numbers of the week. Yet Boom Roasted countered with pure volume from deep — 91 made threes — and cleaner ball security, swinging the final tally.

It was one of those fantasy battles where one more triple or one fewer turnover changes everything.

💣 Scoring

Killa put up 711 PTS and 78 3PM, but Boom Roasted’s backcourt barrage — Devin Booker (130 PTS, 17 3PM) and Donte DiVincenzo (11 3PM) — carried the edge from distance.

With Trae Young, De’Aaron Fox, Garland, and Scoot Henderson sidelined, Killa’s threes dried up just enough to lose the category despite strong balance.

🪣 Boards & Dimes

This is where Killa owned the floor.
A +33 rebound margin (218-185) and +22 assist advantage (170-148) show textbook team construction.

Porziņģis, Ayton, and Wagner dominated inside, while Keyonte George took over lead-guard duties with 34 assists. Even without the starting PG quartet, Killa dictated pace.

✅ Rebounds — ✅ Assists — ✅ Interior Presence

🧱 Defense & Turnovers

Steals (38-41) and blocks (25-28) came down to hustle plays: Mark Williams and Draymond Green tipped the scales.
Turnovers (81-74) hurt — rookies like Ajay Mitchell and Buzelis coughed it up a few too many times.

---

🎯 Efficiency

Killa’s .468 FG % edged Barron’s .464 — excellent shot selection across the roster — but Boom Roasted’s .856 FT %sealed that category thanks to Miles Bridges (.950) and Austin Reaves (.914).

🧑‍⚕️ Injury Report — The Backcourt Blackout

The week’s story was injury attrition:

• Trae Young (ankle)
• De’Aaron Fox (ankle)
• Darius Garland (hamstring)
• Scoot Henderson (ankle)

Four point guards out simultaneously — and the team still won assists. That’s resilience.

• Franz Wagner: 90 PTS | 22 REB | 15 AST | .492 FG
• Kristaps Porziņģis: 28 REB | 7 BLK | .519 FG
• Keyonte George: 34 AST | steady development as lead guard
• Tari Eason: defensive juice (11 combined stocks)
• Deandre Ayton: .625 FG | 18 REB | minimal turnovers

🧮 Analytics Corner

• Assist Margin +22 — elite playmaking even with injuries.
• Rebound Margin +33 — frontcourt chemistry clicking.
• Turnover Differential -7 — rookie decision-making still in progress.
• 3PT Rate (14.8 % vs 18.2 %) — priority waiver/stream target for Week 3.

🧭 Rest-of-Season Outlook

Injuries masked what’s clearly a balanced and dangerous roster.
The combination of Porziņģis, Ayton, and Wagner gives Killa a stable core, while George’s growth keeps the ball moving. Once the backcourt returns, this team projects as a weekly 5-to-7 category threat.
