Back-and-forth battle ends with Space Pirates coming back to top Dilly Dilly in 142.52-113.50 beatdown

What a battle! After a back-and-forth matchup featuring three lead changes, Space Pirates earned a convincing victory over Dilly Dilly, cruising to a 142.52-113.50 win. Dilly Dilly pulled out to an early 8.30-point lead on Thursday. Space Pirates came back to take the lead early Sunday, powered by standout showings from Jahan Dotson (17.9 points) and D'Andre Swift (16.7). Unphased, Dilly Dilly got it going later that afternoon to take a 10.9-point lead behind Cooper Kupp (31.8 points) and the San Francisco 49ers defense (15).

Space Pirates (2-0) will look to build on their success against Process Blows..., while Dilly Dilly (1-1) face The Dream Team in an effort to right the ship.
