Yokohama Zets come up short of predictions, lose to Treasure Hunters in 144.75-81.10 rout

There's no way around it, Yokohama Zets underperformed, at least based on projections, as Treasure Hunters rolled to a 144.75-81.10 win. Treasure Hunters earned a 4.00-point lead on Thursday behind the Jacksonville Jaguars defense and never let go of it. Phillip Lindsay (15.1 points) and David Johnson (14.1) led the way for Yokohama Zets in the loss. This marks the first time this season Treasure Hunters have taken down Yokohama Zets, after falling 155.95-144.1 in their last matchup. Treasure Hunters will look to not lose that winning feeling in next week's semifinals, while Yokohama Zets seek to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Treasure Hunters
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to stellar outings by Davante Adams and Adam Thielen, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Yokohama Zets at wide receiver (33.9 points to 13.4). Adams had 81 receiving yards while Thielen chipped in with 70 yards.
Yokohama Zets
Just two field goals on four attempts? Seems like Harrison Butker might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following that sort of performance.
