Thunderstorm fall short of predictions, lose to Caribbean Bombers in 150-102 rout

There's no way around it, Thunderstorm underdelivered, at least based on projections, as Caribbean Bombers rolled to a 150-102 victory. Thunderstorm jumped out to a 49-point lead on Thursday behind outstanding performances from Kyler Murray (39 points) and DeAndre Hopkins (10). But it was all Caribbean Bombers after that. They were led by Patrick Mahomes (348 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) and Adam Thielen (8 Rec, 123 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs). This marks the second time this season Caribbean Bombers have taken down Thunderstorm, after falling 134-129 in their last matchup. Caribbean Bombers (7-4) will look to keep it rolling against prespLAy, while Thunderstorm (6-5) attempt to get back in the win column against Cedric's TPSer's.
