MangoKid come up short of predictions, succumb to Axel in 210.58-146.16 rout

There's no easy way to put it, MangoKid underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Axel rolled to a 210.58-146.16 win. Axel got out to a 22.50-point lead on Thursday behind Joey Slye (16 points) and Shaq Thompson (6.5) and never gave it up. Tom Brady (24.66 points) and Antonio Brown (16.1) were the top scorers for MangoKid in the loss. Axel (1-1) will look to add to their success against BALLSWIN, while MangoKid (1-1) take on jbml in an effort to get back on track.
