Ptičice knock off Nikšica in 135-94 rout
Ptičice rose to the occasion and exceeded their projected point total, cruising to a 135-94 victory over Nikšica, who fell short of projections. It didn't take long to figure out who would be the frontrunner in this one, as Ptičice nabbed a 30-point lead on Thursday behind a standout showing from the Denver Broncos defense (34 points). Mitchell Trubisky (35 points) and Tevin Coleman (14) did everything they could for Nikšica in defeat. Ptičice (3-4) will look to keep it rolling against Alcatraz Jackals, while Nikšica (2-5) attempt to get back in the win column against dolchezza.
