Film Room: How Fanum’s 30-Point Masterclass Unlocked New York Taxers’ 128-121 Victory Over Denver
Breaking down the half-court spacing, pick-and-roll reads, and fourth-quarter execution from New York Taxers’ win over Denver Smurf Cats.
NEW YORK — Reviewing the tape from New York Taxers’ 128-121 triumph over the Denver Smurf Cats reveals a clinic in modern offensive spacing. Operating out of high ball screens, Fanum recorded 30 points and 3 assists while utilizing his signature "The Feast Offensive Putback Jam" to punish every defensive coverage Denver deployed.
Whenever Denver Smurf Cats sent a second defender above the three-point line, Fanum calmly hit Blicky the Pullup (25 PTS, 3 REB) in the short roll to create immediate four-on-three advantages. Even with Shailushai (Smurf Cat) answering for Denver with 30 points, New York Taxers’ shot quality in the final six minutes proved decisive.
Looking ahead to today’s 2029 Global Series slate (2029-09-14), attention shifts to Silicon Valley Disrupters visiting Brooklyn Bomboclaats at Flatbush Trench Garden (7:00 PM EST, BBL League Pass), where Verity and Matteo the Hand Gesture Sniper headline the marquee matchup.
"Fanum read every tag defender on the floor tonight. Scoring 30 points with 3 assists against Denver Smurf Cats is textbook point-of-attack execution."
