The MAZters succumb to Diamond Dogs, 123.98-103.93

There's no sugarcoating it, The MAZters underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Diamond Dogs came out on top with a 123.98-103.93 win. The MAZters took the first lead in the matchup on Sunday afternoon, but Diamond Dogs held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Nelson Agholor (33.5 points) and Adam Thielen (23.7). Jalen Hurts (342 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 69 Rush Yds) and DJ Chark Jr. (4 Rec, 62 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the leading scorers for The MAZters in the loss. This marks the second time this season Diamond Dogs have beaten The MAZters, after winning 162.75-131.52 in their last matchup. Diamond Dogs end the season at 11-4, while The MAZters finish the campaign at 8-8.
