Definition of a buzzer beater?
![]() |
"The Shot" |
- In basketball, a buzzer beater is a shot taken before the game clock at the end of a quarter or end of game clock expires but does not go in the basket until after the clock expires and the buzzer sounds. The term is normally reserved for baskets that beat an end-of-quarter buzzer or an end of game buzzer but are sometimes referred to as shots that beat the shot clock buzzer.
Well
folks there is no shot clock in the NYBL and end of quarter action is nice but
today this is not the subject matter we are referring to. In a league composed of the top talent in the
country one might think that games are decided early and often – one would be
wrong. Just in Session 3 alone there
were many end of game heart-breakers or celebrations depending on what side of the bench you sat on.
For fans
and players alike, you must have nerves of steal and ice water in the veins; the inevitable close games are decided by big time teams and big times players
playing in big time games – at the middle school level there is absolutely
nothing bigger than the NYBL and below is living proof of said fact.
So much
high level competition creates many close and competitive games; but in the
NYBL the extremes reach a whole new level of excitement – below are the buzzer
beating shots that ended games and created memories to last a lifetime all in
one weekend.
Highlighted
Games:

Team
Teague beats Brampton Warriors 76-73 – In
one of the best games of the weekend Team Teague and Brampton went into
overtime. In OT after a late game possession
was gained on an offensive rebound, Team Teague pushed the ball into the front
court where with no other choice a shot was launched from 23-feet and touched
nothing but the bottom of the net to secure a 3-point overtime victory for Team
Teague over the 1-loss Brampton Warriors.


If you thought that was all – you would
be wrong here are 3 additional buzzer beating performances – it would be a
whole other article regarding the buzzer beater attempted and missed. Yes, we know this is unbelievable that the
games are this close and these are only the winners. As we said above NYBL is without question
FANTASTIC!
These 3-games also warmed and broke hearts at
the same time!
