Back-and-forth battle ends with Dawg Pound coming back to knock off Signum Express in 168.47-137.14 rout

Well, that was thrilling! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Dawg Pound earned a easy win over Signum Express, rolling to a 168.47-137.14 victory. Signum Express nabbed an early 9.5-point lead on Thursday. Dawg Pound came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by standout performances from Tyreek Hill (47.8 points) and Russell Wilson (23.92). Not to be deterred, Signum Express pulled it together later that afternoon to take a 17.87-point lead behind Christian McCaffrey (18 points). But Dawg Pound came back again on Monday night with their back against the wall, as Todd Gurley II (29.7 points) and Brandin Cooks (14.55) put them back in the lead once and for all. Dawg Pound (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against Perrysville Thunder, while Signum Express (0-1) face Super Dave in an effort to right the ship.
