There's no way around it, Painster didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as The Horde rolled to a 116-79 win. The Horde earned a 16-point lead on Thursday behind Cam Newton (20 points) and never relinquished it. Matt Ryan (33 points) and Tyler Boyd (17) led the charge for Painster in the loss. The Horde (1-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Steel Falcons, while Painster (1-1) face Win some lose ton in an effort to get back in the win column.
