Despite top scorer Freeman, Ron & GM fall to The Godfather, 117.15-105.90

Ron & GM had the top scorer in the matchup with RB Devonta Freeman accumulating 29.2 points, the sixth-best total in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish The Godfather, who earned a 117.15-105.90 victory. The Godfather earned an early 5.3-point lead on Saturday behind Breshad Perriman (13.7 points) and the San Francisco 49ers defense (8). Ron & GM bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Devonta Freeman (29.2 points). Unphased, The Godfather made a run later that afternoon, as Miles Sanders (24.1 points) and Hunter Henry (7) put them back on top for good. This marks the second time this season The Godfather have knocked off Ron & GM, after winning 132-118.85 in their last matchup. The Godfather (9-7) will look to add to their success against Just the Painter, while Ron & GM (4-11-1) will attempt to get back on track against ATM Machine.
