Back-and-forth battle ends with Tools On Stools coming back to knock off Pickles in 109.47-81.52 rout

What a battle! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Tools On Stools earned a dominant victory over Pickles, rolling to a 109.47-81.52 win. Pickles got out to an early 3.10-point lead on Thursday. Tools On Stools came back to take the lead during the early games on Sunday, powered by impressive efforts from Travis Kelce (19.6 points) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense (12.75). Not to be deterred, Pickles pulled it together later that afternoon to take a 21.47-point lead behind the Seattle Seahawks defense (13 points) and Mason Crosby (9). But Tools On Stools came back again when it mattered most on Monday night, as Lamar Jackson (36.12 points) and J.K. Dobbins (13.3) put them back on top once and for all. This marks the first time this season Tools On Stools have taken down Pickles, after falling 119.77-104.5 in their last matchup. Tools On Stools will look to keep the streak alive in next week's semifinal round, while Pickles attempt to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 5th Place game.

Coach Talk

Tools On Stools
Hey, we admire the confidence, Tools On Stools. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Mike Williams and Randy Bullock), while still earning a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Pickles
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six offensive skill starters on Pickles collectively gained a whopping 375 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 14.
