The King extended their win streak to three games with a dominant win over The Man-Cheetahs, rolling to a 145.98-114.06 victory. The King grabbed a 10.00-point lead on Thursday behind David Johnson and never looked back. Odell Beckham Jr. (8 Rec, 143 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the Los Angeles Rams defense (10 Pts Allowed, 228 Yds Allowed, 4 Turnovers) did everything they could for The Man-Cheetahs in defeat. The King (5-2) will look to rack up another W against Space Pirates, while The Man-Cheetahs (2-5) attempt to develop some positive momentum against The Little Dingy's.
