Despite top scorer Thielen, Grateful Dogs fall to Switchmillers in 124-123 battle

Adam Thielen accumulated 24 points for Grateful Dogs, the best total in the matchup and fourth-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Switchmillers, who came back for a 124-123 win. Trailing 123-98 heading into Monday night, Switchmillers came storming back behind Chris Godwin (12 points) and Lavonte David (12). Adam Thielen (8 Rec, 123 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Patrick Mahomes (348 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 16 Rush Yds) were the leaders for Grateful Dogs in the loss. This marks the second time this season Switchmillers have knocked off Grateful Dogs, after winning 135-106 in their last matchup. Switchmillers (7-4) will look to maintain their momentum against IDP Knuckle Heads, while Grateful Dogs (5-6) match up against Iso Rockets in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Switchmillers
You know what, Switchmillers, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Logan Thomas), while still getting a win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Grateful Dogs
Missing a field goal isn't usually a reason to be upset. Having said that, Wil Lutz went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Grateful Dogs dropped the matchup by a single point. Talk about impeccable timing...
