THE MYTH come up short of expectations, lose to Trophies in 119-99 rout

THE MYTH were unable to meet projections, as Trophies cruised to a 119-99 win. Trophies grabbed a 6-point lead early Sunday afternoon. THE MYTH came back to take the lead during the late round of games on Sunday, powered by Alvin Kamara (22 points) and Drew Brees (17). Not to be deterred, Trophies pulled it together later that night, as Patrick Mahomes (27 points) and Chris Carson (23) put them back in the lead once and for all. This marks the first time this season Trophies have beaten THE MYTH, after falling 138-98 in their last matchup. Trophies finish the season at 11-5, while THE MYTH end the campaign at 12-3.
