Ducks Fly Together come up short of projections, succumb to Lights Kamara Action, 128.70-119.58

There's no sugarcoating it, Ducks Fly Together underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Lights Kamara Action came back to earn a 128.70-119.58 win. Lights Kamara Action trailed 108.58-101.70 heading into Monday night, but the unit came storming back behind the Seattle Seahawks defense (7 Pts Allowed, 276 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). Derek Carr (21.78 points) and Drew Brees (14.94) were the top scorers for Ducks Fly Together in defeat. This marks the second time this season Lights Kamara Action have taken down Ducks Fly Together, after winning 177.86-109.74 in their last matchup. Lights Kamara Action will look to not lose that winning feeling in the semifinal round next week, while Ducks Fly Together attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.
