The Houston Red Storm, led by Head Coach Terence Dill, suffered a high-octane home loss against their in-state rivals, the Alamo City All-Stars, falling 134-125. Despite a phenomenal offensive performance, the Red Storm could not overcome a scoring surge from the All-Stars during the middle quarters of the contest.
The Red Storm demonstrated elite offensive efficiency, making 40 of 65 shots from inside the arc (61.5%) and an impressive 8 of 12 from three-point range (67%).
The team's facilitating was a particular highlight, recording 42 assists on their 48 made baskets. This ball movement was largely orchestrated by point guard Cam Moore, who delivered a standout performance with 14 points and a spectacular 17 assists.
Despite the scoring prowess, the Red Storm were unable to contain the All-Stars, particularly during the middle stages of the game.
Coach Dill praised the team's fighting spirit but pointed to execution gaps that proved costly. "We showed the heart of a champion in that fourth quarter, outscoring them by nine points, but you can't spot a team like the All-Stars that big of a lead and expect to win," said Coach Dill.
He acknowledged the offensive brilliance, stating, "Our offense was brilliant—42 assists is a testament to our ball movement." However, he stressed where the focus must lie moving forward: "But we have to translate that same intensity to the defensive end for 48 minutes. That is our focus moving forward".
