Despite top scorer McCaffrey, GTK2 fall to Frank's Team 3, 120.48-109.60

Christian McCaffrey posted 36.26 points for GTK2, the best total in the matchup and third-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to vanquish Frank's Team 3, who staged a comeback for a 120.48-109.60 victory. Trailing 100.20-87.48 heading into Monday night, Frank's Team 3 roared back behind Amari Cooper (20.6 points) and Tee Higgins (12.4). Christian McCaffrey (34 Pass Yds, 94 Rush Yds, 55 Rec Yds, 3 Off. TDs,) and Tyreek Hill (12 Rec, 188 Rec Yds) were the leading scorers for GTK2 in defeat. Frank's Team 3 (4-4) will look to keep it rolling against Tyler C's Crazy Team, while GTK2 (4-4) attempt to get back on track against John's Groovy Team.
