The Hawks fall short of predictions, succumb to Muscle Hamsters in 110.43-56.87 rout

There's no easy way to put it, The Hawks dropped the ball, at least based on projections, as Muscle Hamsters cruised to a 110.43-56.87 win. Muscle Hamsters pulled out to a 19.30-point lead on Thursday behind Allen Robinson II and never let it go. Deebo Samuel (13.4 points) and Chris Carson (10.6) led the charge for The Hawks in the loss. This marks the second time this season Muscle Hamsters have taken down The Hawks, after winning 109.5-105.03 in their last matchup. Muscle Hamsters will look to keep it going in next week's semifinal round, while The Hawks attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win.

Coach Talk

Muscle Hamsters
Assembling a lineup that produced over 110 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
The Hawks
Yo, The Hawks, what did your pass-catchers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 15 targets as a group this past week, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
