Redlegs come up short of projections, lose to Steel Reign, 123.25-103.30

There's no way around it, Redlegs didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Steel Reign came out on top with a 123.25-103.30 victory. Steel Reign grabbed an early 20.75-point lead on Thursday. Redlegs bounced back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by Keenan Allen (22.5 points) and Deonte Harris (17.15). Not to be deterred, Steel Reign got it going later that afternoon, as Brandon Aiyuk (17.5 points) and Zane Gonzalez (16) put them back on top for good. Steel Reign (2-5) will look to sustain their momentum against Negligent Discharges, while Redlegs (1-6) face Vultures in an effort to get back in the win column.
