Sometime after 10:40 Eastern Normal People Time Golden Pond and the No-Lakes tipped off in Frisco. When the buzzer sounded for the last time in the eve-en-ing it was the Indigenous Fighting Men with 123 scalps and the No-Lakes with No Win on 109. The box score reads well-played on both ends of the 91.86 rectangle. Steph had 33 on 10/22, Bron 31 on 12/25 and 14 boards; good to see Russ on track: 19, 7/12, 11 rebs, and Anthony Davis had 27 on 10/22. Only 6 rebounds though for the big man. Gold's three-pointing shooting was the difference. They launched 45, hitting the target on 16 for 48 points and a 35.6% rate. No-Lakes bricked 30 of 40 for only 30 points.

In Beans the story was No D. Green shot 56.1%; their counters, the Seven Foot Sixers an even 50. As posted last night the book on this one was Tatum and Brown, Brown and Tatum, each with 35. For Cheese, Beard had a beautiful lying stat line: 35 also on 9/14 (5/9), 12/12, 8 boards, 7 assists, 3 Cheese turnovers; Joel, 26, 9/18, 15, and 6 t.o.'s.; Electric Maxey 21, 8/16 (2/5), 5 fouls. You can't win in this league without stops.
