Dixie Normas fall short of expectations, lose to Josh's Team, 90.30-80.88

There's no easy way to put it, Dixie Normas underperformed, at least according to projections, as Josh's Team earned a 90.30-80.88 victory. Josh's Team grabbed an early 3.30-point lead on Thursday. Dixie Normas bounced back to take the lead during the early games on Sunday, powered by Baker Mayfield (29.78 points) and Kareem Hunt (17.7). Not to be deterred, Josh's Team rallied later that afternoon, as Chase Edmonds (18 points) and Zane Gonzalez (16) put them back on top once and for all. Josh's Team (4-3) will look to maintain their momentum against CircleTheWagons, while Dixie Normas (3-4) attempt to right the ship against Mr big puff.
