Squirrel Murphy’s defeat Karen in 188.36-149.80 rout

Squirrel Murphy’s showed up and outperformed expectations, cruising to a 188.36-149.80 win over Karen. Squirrel Murphy’s earned a 29.6-point lead early Sunday afternoon. Karen came back to take the lead late afternoon Sunday, powered by Aaron Rodgers (32.9 points) and Davante Adams (28.5). Not to be deterred, Squirrel Murphy’s rallied later that night, as Stefon Diggs (31.1 points) put them back ahead once and for all.
