A.'s Astonishing Team fall short of predictions, lose to Minions in 113.78-77.78 runaway

There's no easy way to say it, A.'s Astonishing Team didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Minions cruised to a 113.78-77.78 win. Minions took a 3.8-point lead early Sunday afternoon. A.'s Astonishing Team came back to take the lead on Sunday night, powered by Joshua Palmer (7.3 points). Unphased, Minions made a run when it mattered most on Monday night, as the New England Patriots defense (20 points) put them back in the lead for good. This marks the second time this season Minions have beaten A.'s Astonishing Team, after winning 130.36-124.76 in their last matchup. Minions (12-2) will look to keep it rolling against Tyreek Hills Abusement Park🎢, while A.'s Astonishing Team (8-6) face thomas.mat.green's Team in an effort to right the ship.
