We are midway through the playoffs and as the field continues to narrow, the competition and tension continue to elevate.  This week we saw some strong performances from teams as they fought to reach the semi-finals.  Three of four winners put up over 100 points, with two of them exceeding 140 points!  Let’s see this week’s results. 

Playoffs 

The Official’s Timeout (7-7) vs. NY KILLERS (8-6) 

This battle for the Kornheiser Conference was one of the explosive games this week.  The NY KILLERS had four players that scored over 25 points, with one scoring 37 (TreVeyon Henderson) points.  At one point the KILLERS held a 100-0 lead!  The Official eventually got into a rhythm and made a run, but the NY KILLERS (9-6) was too much for The Official’s Timeout (7-8) and held on for a 141-77 victory, grabbing the Kornheiser Conference title. 

Gotham City Enforcers (7-5-1) vs. Dart Dynasty (8-5)

In another high output match, for the Wilbon Conference, Dart Dynasty also had four players that scored over 25 points, with one scoring 30 (Travis Etienne) points.  She also built an early lead that was too much to overcome.  Dart Dynasty (9-5) held on for a 124-87 victory over Gotham City Enforcers (7-6-1), earning the Wilbon Conference title. 

Mudd Butt (8-6) vs. 2TRILL Chevy Rider (9-5)

The most explosive game this week was for the Jaworski Conference.  The Chevy Rider had six of eight starters scoring 10+ points, with one scoring a massive 52 (Trevor Lawrence) points!  Mudd Butt made a strong effort to keep up but 2TRILL Chevy Rider (10-5) rode off with a 146-92 victory over Mudd Butt (8-7), rallying for the Jaworski Conference title. 

West Point Green Waves (9-5) vs. Jones Boys (9-5)

The battle for the Reali Conference was our most competitive game this week.  Neither team put up the point totals as the other matchups.  The Green Waves only had three players with 10+ points, and Jones Boys only had one.  In the end, the West Point Green Waves (10-5) defeated Jones Boys (9-6), 68-47, claiming the Reali Conference title.    

Toilet Bowl 

Unbeatable By You (7-7) vs. Whodat Homeboys (3-11)

This matchup was to determine the Toilet Bowl winner.  Unbeatable By You was trying to show he should have made the playoffs while the Homeboys was trying to end the season on a winning note.  And, Whodat Homeboys (4-11) kept the winning going with a 77-35 victory over Unbeatable By You (7-8), who appeared to toss in the towel.  This was his second loss to knock him out of contention.  The Whodat Homeboys ended his season with a three-game win streak and finished as the Toilet Bowl winner.  

Next week will bring us to the semi-final round, to decide the league finalists!    

See you next week!!!
