Kamara Shy knock off The Mad Scientist in 113.10-91.94 rout

Kamara Shy exceeded expectations, rolling to a 113.10-91.94 win over The Mad Scientist, who fell short of projections. The Mad Scientist took a 8.70-point lead on Thursday, but it was all Kamara Shy after that. They were led by Kirk Cousins (34.5 points) and Matt Breida (21.9). Patrick Mahomes (38.84 points) and Ezekiel Elliott (14.7) were the leaders for The Mad Scientist in defeat. Kamara Shy (1-1) will look to maintain their winning ways against The Minor Prophets, while The Mad Scientist (1-1) will match up against Liams Dream Team ;) in an effort to get some positive momentum.
