Flash find way to defeat Elvis in 91.58-88.99 duel despite falling short of predictions

Both teams were unable to rise to the occasion, coming up short of their projected point totals, but Flash did enough to beat Elvis, squeaking by for a 91.58-88.99 victory. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as Flash led 84.98-22.12 heading into Monday night. Elvis made them sweat behind the Cleveland Browns defense (7 points) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (5.37). Flash were led by Jonathan Taylor (26 points) and Deebo Samuel (14.9). This marks the first time this season Flash have beaten Elvis, after falling 119.96-115.55 in their last matchup. Flash will look to clinch the championship next week, while Elvis seek to rebound and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.
