Back-and-forth battle ends with Sledgehammers knocking off Caribbean Bombers in 145-115 rout

Well, that was exhilarating! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Sledgehammers earned an easy win over Caribbean Bombers, rolling to a 145-115 victory. Caribbean Bombers nabbed an early 22-point lead on Thursday. Sledgehammers came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by outstanding performances from Dalvin Cook (27 points) and Stefon Diggs (21). Unphased, Caribbean Bombers made a run later that afternoon to take a 4-point lead behind Hunter Henry (15 points) and the New Orleans Saints defense (13). But Sledgehammers came back again later that night, as Amari Cooper (15 points) put them back in the lead for good. This marks the second time this season Sledgehammers have taken down Caribbean Bombers, after winning 155-140 in their last matchup. Sledgehammers (5-2) will look to build on their success against Warriors of Angels, while Caribbean Bombers (2-5) attempt to get back in the win column against Cedric's TPSer's.
