Spoon fall to Hakuna Matata, 86.5-72.5

There's no easy way to put it, Spoon underdelivered, at least compared to projections, as Hakuna Matata came back for an 86.5-72.5 win. Trailing 72.5-68.5 heading into Monday night, Hakuna Matata roared back behind the Los Angeles Chargers defense (16 Pts Allowed, 258 Yds Allowed, 1 Turnovers). The Los Angeles Rams defense (15 points) and Bobby Okereke (8) did their part for Spoon in the loss. This marks the second time this season Hakuna Matata have gotten the best of Spoon, after winning 77.5-73 in their last matchup. Hakuna Matata (4-2) will look to keep it rolling against Flyhawks, while Spoon (2-4) will attempt to get back on track against KayCee Chiefs.
