Despite top scorer Bolton, Slapnuts fall to Drunk Muppets, 326-292

Nick Bolton accumulated 43 points for Slapnuts, the best total in the matchup and sixth-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to overcome Drunk Muppets, who came from behind for a 326-292 win. Drunk Muppets trailed 221-239 heading into Monday night, but the unit made a comeback behind Dalvin Cook, who ran for 89 yards for 21 points, and Justin Jefferson, who caught 4 passes for 47 yards and a touchdown (18 points). Nick Bolton (43 points) and Lavonte David (39) led the way for Slapnuts in the loss. This marks the third time this season Drunk Muppets have knocked off Slapnuts, after winning 362-240 in their last matchup. Drunk Muppets will look to not lose that winning feeling in the Championship next week, while Slapnuts attempt to bounce back and finish the season with a win in the 3rd Place game.
