Week 1 Recaps

Los Angeles Monarchs vs Seattle Kraken

The fourth quarter became Tyrese Edgecombe's personal showcase as Monarchs trailed by 12 with 7:21 left. Edgecombe answered Derrick White's step-back three with a vicious spin-left baseline fadeaway, then Jordan Hale's pick-and-roll freed him for a thunderous right-to-left euro that cut the deficit to 4. Dom Canzone II's defensive steal and outlet pass gave Kraken breathing room, but Ben Rhodes' timely block on Noah Griffin sparked the 22-8 closing run.

Edgecombe sealed it with a left-wing step-back over White with 14 seconds left, finishing 30-6-5 while Hale's 9 assists created the separation in the Monarchs' thrilling road comeback.

Monarchs def. Kraken 113-108
Portland Timber vs Denver Outlaws

Duncan A. Ball turned oracle in the money time as Timber protected a 6-point lead with 4:18 remaining. Trae Stod's pump-fake midrange pulled Denver within 2, but Ball answered with a no-look corner three assist to Dorian Price, then grabbed RJ Holloway's miss and dished Marcus Holloway for a fastbreak layup that pushed the margin to 8. Gideon Holt's post isolation briefly revived Outlaws hopes before Jalen Brooks' rim protection ended the threat.

Ball's vision (24-12-9) and Price's two-way explosion (22 points) powered the Timber's statement win on Denver's home floor.

Timber def. Outlaws 107-101
Minneapolis Frost vs Sacramento Capital

TM3D1Glazer's ice-cold poise dismantled Sacramento down the stretch as Frost clung to a 4-point edge with 3:45 left. Cumringham Butterduck's one-handed euro step-back faded high, but Glazer answered with his signature top-notch floater over Thaddeus Zoltan, then kicked out from the paint to Caleb Whitaker for a dagger corner three. Nolan Pierce's transition midrange pulled Capital within 2 before Isaiah Knight's chase-down block preserved the lead.

Glazer's 23 points and 12 assists, paired with Whitaker's hot hand, confirmed Frost's Northern Division dominance in a tense grind.

Frost def. Capital 105-99
Las Vegas Vipers vs Dallas Dragons

Corey Naylor's high-IQ orchestration suffocated Dallas in crunch time as Vipers maintained a 7-point lead with 5:12 remaining. Sup Aroony's windmill fastbreak dunk electrified the home crowd and cut it to 3, but Naylor answered by picking Kael Donovan's pocket and dishing Jamal Rivers for a dagger wing pull-up. Darius Lang's chase-down block gave Dallas life before Caleb Foster's putback sealed the deal.

Naylor's court vision (22 points, 11 assists) controlled tempo perfectly against the Dragons' athletic chaos.

Vipers def. Dragons 102-95
Kansas City Cruise vs Houston Apollo

No Ball-Knwldge's corner three barrage erupted late as Cruise protected a slim lead with 3:02 left. LeBron James III's LeBron euro pulled Apollo within 1, but Jace Monroe splashed back-to-back threes off Tyrese Holloway kick-outs, pushing the margin to 7. Boris Cummings-Noncingham's hop-step logo three briefly revived Houston before Lorenzo Cruz's chase-down swat ended the comeback bid.

Monroe's 25 points and Knwldge's midrange artistry powered Kansas City's clinical road takedown.

Cruise def. Apollo 110-104
Santa Fe Saints vs Phoenix Firebirds

Jace Thompson's highlight takeover left no doubt in the fourth as Saints built a 9-point lead with 6:18 remaining. Rolando "The Stink" Wade's corner three demon pulled Firebirds within 4, but Thompson answered with a self-lob reverse that ignited an 11-2 run. Malik Frost's switch-everything defense stonewalled Phoenix's final push before Jalen Cross fadeaway iced it.

Thompson's 29-6 explosion overwhelmed Wade's chaos in Santa Fe's gritty home victory.

Saints def. Firebirds 98-92
