Drones find way to knock off Spoon 86.5-74.0

Despite being unable to rise to the occasion and coming up short of projections, Drones earned an 86.5-74.0 victory over Spoon. Drones never trailed in this one after nabbing a 13.0-point lead on Thursday behind Ronald Jones II (8 points) and Jason Pierre-Paul (7). The Indianapolis Colts defense (32 Pts Allowed, 364 Yds Allowed, 2 Turnovers) and Russell Wilson (217 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs, 58 Rush Yds) carried the flag for Spoon in the loss. Drones (2-3) will look to keep it rolling against KC Chiefs 0-5 Start, while Spoon (3-2) will try to get back on track against Well Oiled Machine.
