Back-and-forth battle ends with Vultures topping Mutinous Apes in 137.5-114.5 rout

What a thriller! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Vultures earned a dominant win over Mutinous Apes, rolling to a 137.5-114.5 victory. Mutinous Apes pulled out to an early 8.5-point lead on Thursday. Vultures came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by standout showings from Eric Ebron (16.2 points) and Todd Gurley II (15.2). Not to be deterred, Mutinous Apes rallied later that afternoon to take a 0.4-point lead behind Matthew Stafford (25.2 points) and Jonathan Taylor (13.2). But Vultures came back again later that night, as Drew Brees (32.4 points) put them back in the lead for good. Vultures (1-2) will look to add to their success against Rebel Alliance, while Mutinous Apes (2-1) face Steel Reign in an effort to right the ship.
