D'Onta Foreman posted 30.5 points for Colgate_2, the best total in the matchup and second-highest in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple SuperSonics, who squeaked by for a 116.66-112.46 victory. Colgate_2 had a chance to come from behind on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. SuperSonics led 94.76-89.56 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite a combined 22.9 points from Keenan Allen and Derwin James Jr. on Monday night for Colgate_2. Patrick Mahomes (23.76 points) and Saquon Barkley (23.3) were the top performers for SuperSonics in the win. This marks the second time this season SuperSonics have beaten Colgate_2, after winning 127.78-119.98 in their last matchup. SuperSonics (10-6) will look to notch another win against Kuflowe Mocne, while Colgate_2 (9-7) meet Lutnia in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

SuperSonics
Well done, SuperSonics. Nice work assembling a starting crew that recorded 116.66 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we head into a tricky matchup in Week 17.
Colgate_2
Wow, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Colgate_2 collectively recorded only two targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 17!
