Punani Tsunami succumb to Skin Diesel in 101-79 rout

There's no way around it, Punani Tsunami underperformed, at least based on projections, as Skin Diesel cruised to a 101-79 victory. Skin Diesel nabbed a 7-point lead on Thursday behind CeeDee Lamb (18 points) and never let go of it. Darren Waller (10 Rec, 105 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and the San Francisco 49ers defense (33 Pts Allowed, 430 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers) led the way for Punani Tsunami in the loss. Skin Diesel (1-0) will look to keep it rolling against CanOWhoopAss, while Punani Tsunami (0-1) will meet TurnYaHeadAndCough in an effort to earn their first W.
