MVP Eli come up short of expectations, succumb to Parlino Vultures in 108.95-84.77 rout

Parlino Vultures nabbed an early 8.98-point lead on Thursday. MVP Eli bounced back to take the lead on Saturday, powered by J.J. Watt (13 points). Not to be deterred, Parlino Vultures made a run later that afternoon, as Ben Roethlisberger (13.1 points) and Sony Michel (5.9) put them back ahead once and for all. This marks the first time this season Parlino Vultures have beaten MVP Eli, after falling 127.66-119.16 in their last matchup.
