Naperville Pineapple come up short of predictions, succumb to The Cardiac Comeback in 112-82 rout

Naperville Pineapple were unable to bring their A game, as The Cardiac Comeback rolled to a 112-82 win. The Cardiac Comeback earned an early 4-point lead on Thursday. Naperville Pineapple came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Lamar Jackson (20 points) and Travis Kelce (16). Not to be deterred, The Cardiac Comeback pulled it together later that afternoon, as Russell Wilson (42 points) and DK Metcalf (31) put them back in the lead for good. The Cardiac Comeback (6-2) will look to notch another win against Hoffman Hillbillies, while Naperville Pineapple (3-5) will try to get back on track against Springfield Atoms.
