Back-and-forth battle ends with Blue Waffles coming back to top All-Proleteriat in 120.82-92.70 rout

Well, that was exhilarating! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Blue Waffles cruised to a 120.82-92.70 win to hand All-Proleteriat their third consecutive loss. All-Proleteriat pulled out to an early 5.60-point lead on Thursday. Blue Waffles came back to take the lead during the early slate on Sunday, powered by standout efforts from Travis Kelce (23.6 points) and Mike Gesicki (21). Unphased, All-Proleteriat got it going later that afternoon to take a 24.3-point lead behind Miles Sanders (27.6 points) and D'Andre Swift (13). But Blue Waffles came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Lamar Jackson (34.92 points) put them back on top once and for all. This marks the second time this season Blue Waffles have taken down All-Proleteriat, after winning 100.82-96.64 in their last matchup. Blue Waffles ends the season on a high note, but they'll miss the postseason with a record of 7-7. All-Proleteriat will also be home for the playoffs, finishing at 5-9.
