Jalen Hurts racked up 38.35 points for Chicken Dinner, the best total in the matchup and second-best in the league this week, but it wasn't enough to topple Evil Clowns, who eked out a 122.65-122.10 victory. Chicken Dinner had a chance to come from behind on Monday night, but it wasn't to be. Evil Clowns led 106.65-106.30 after Sunday's action and held on for the win despite 15.8 points from Jonathan Taylor on Monday night for Chicken Dinner.
