Yes, bleeding 80k week.

Wow, I wouldn't last too long at that rate. I was making 100+k a week with the attendance bonus. Now that has ended, I'm making around 75k a week.

📅 Game 15 (Tuesday, Sept 2, 2025)
Week 15 had everything: clutch threes and loads of late whistles. Kiwi flexed on Lituanica, Delta finally showed their payroll’s purpose, and Wobbles & Wasco kept strutting on top. Let’s run it.
⸻
🌟 Game of the Night: Kiwi 114 – BC Lituanica 105 🐑📺
Televised drama didn’t disappoint. Tied with five minutes left, Kiwi strung together three quick buckets for a six-point cushion. Lit clawed it back to 3, drew up a beauty for Alyamkin (47% from deep)…clank. An offensive board led to Pessach (28/6/8) firing a follow-up 3 that rimmed out under Karlis “Call Me Maybe” Rae’s smothering perimeter D. Guaraes (24/8) and Hess Araya’s monster 17/16 closed it. Kiwi holds serve, Lit leaves wondering how many clean looks one team can miss.
⸻
💊 Delta 125 – FR-S 108
FR-S hung around until the 5-minute mark, then Delta detonated: 24 points in the final five. Porter erupted off the bench, going 31/8, with seven triples, Shelley steadied (23/13), and McNally showed muscle. Zviedris did MVP things—31/20/7 on 13-19 FG—but when he sits on the trade block, you know the franchise has shifted to long-term thinking. Delta finally looks like a full cast.
⸻
🪑 Bench Mob 98 – Llama 89
We were treated to another “late-run special” at Bench Warmer Arena. Down two with under four minutes, Bench went on an 18–7 closer, 12 of those from the stripe. Papitzakis (21/5) and Daigle chipped in, Huffman bullied inside. Sanchez (28/9) tried to carry Llama, but the whistles kept blaring down the stretch. The Mob were given an abundance of oxygen while the Llamas suffocated.
⸻
🐅 Wasco 107 – Tasty 100
Efficiency on the road = big cat energy. Pisano (24/7) and Sorensen (22/9) combined for 46, while Davis was in Jason Kidd cosplay, going 15/7/8. Tasty battled—Bachelier poured in 29, Wui Kwong had a 13/8/8 line with three steals—but Wasco’s efficient 50% FG held off every push. Statement road win that says, “we’re still the alpha.”
⸻
🐗 Wellington 104 – Wobbles 116
This one tilted early, with Wobbles in the lead by 23 after three. Hosemann looked like a wall (23/17/3 blk), Samara splashed 24, and Brancato casually 22/12. Bunn’s 28 and Longino’s 15/10/5 with 2 blocks gave Wellington pride points, but this was Wob’s game end to end. Balance beats bravado.
⸻
🏰 Meridian 92 – Ferth 79
Meridian clinic. Nobody even hit 30 minutes, yet they cruised with crisp ball movement and layers of contributions. Pollock and Clemens kept the tempo, Nash sprinkled in threes and free throws. Ferth leaned on Forrai and Faltýnek but had no answers for Meridian’s non-anxious possession game. Cup form intact.
⸻
🥤 Reductions 91 – California 65
The Suggs show can’t save everything. He got his numbers, but Reductions rolled behind Ying Ming’s 28 and Paz’s 11/21 double-double. Cali grabbed just 29 boards as a team—medium rare at best. Supreme has the star power but lacks the spine.
⸻
🚀 Innovatus 142 – White Walkers 46
Ikoma dropped dimes (19/11 ast), Zigui ate inside, Stapleton vacuumed 18 boards, and Innovatus got their gimme.
⸻
📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• Zviedris (FR-S): 31/20/7, carrying with no help.
• Porter (Delta): 31 off the pine, flamethrower.
• Pisano & Sorensen (Wasco): 46 combined, road killers.
• Guaraes & Hess Araya (Kiwi): Double-double monsters in the showcase.
• Hosemann (Wobbles): 23/17 with rim protection.
⸻
🔮 What It Means
Wobbles and Wasco keep pounding at the top, Kiwi defended their TV spotlight, and Delta finally looked like their salary sheet. Cross division play has ended, and the final stretch begins now—where seeding battles, trade rumors, and late-season legs collide. The next few weeks won’t just decide playoff spots, they’ll decide the next several seasons for a few teams.

Wobbles began the season with a gruesome 0-3 start. Three of our next four games are against those teams, so here is to hoping our imaginary players have imaginary memories with imaginary motivation It will be a fun two weeks.

📅 Game 16 (Saturday, Sept 6, 2025)
Innovatus survived a classic, Delta threw a haymaker, and the standings keep Wobble-ing up top. Here it is:
⸻
🌟Game of the Night: BC Lituanica 110 – Innovatus 122 (OT)
One of the best games all year. BC Lit read the scouting report perfectly and matched schemes possession-for-possession. Down two late, Paama attacked the cup, got the whistle, and iced both FTs to force OT. Then the switch flipped: Innovatus blitzed the extra frame and ran away, 122–110. Zigui was unstoppable (b38/10), Stapleton vacuumed the glass (22 REB), and Ikoma kept the pulse steady. Lit got a monster line from Skrzypacz (32/15/4) and iron-man minutes from Pessach (all 53), but their legs looked heavy in OT. Nothing is a given against BC Lit.
⸻
💊Wasco 91 – Delta 116
Olmos authored a complete game (31/8/7, 3 STL) while Shelley and Porter filled in the gaps, and Delta turned a tight one into a distance race. Wasco’s frontline still punched (Pisano/Sorensen), but Delta’s pace and shot-making kept stacking mini-runs until the Tigers ran out of counters. That’s a résumé win.
⎯
🍔FR-S 119 – Tasty 122
This felt tied for a quarter-and-a-half straight. With :08 left at 119–119, Tasty freed Lovaina for the go-ahead triple—cash. FR-S drew up Barger for the equalizer… clank. Zviedris (of course) went nuclear 35/17/5, Rocher chipped in, but Tasty’s guard room answered: Wui Kwong (28/4/9) and Büki (24/2/9) kept the blender humming. A fun, tense win that Tasty had to grind. Rumors of unease from Zviedris have been heating up…
⸻
🦙Ferth 92 – Llama 94
Pure late-game theater. Down three, Spuldzinieks hit a cold-blooded step-back to tie with :30 left. Llama’s Jurtaugas stayed ice-calm, threading a dime to Babenko for the winning lay-in. Ferth walked off shaking their heads; Llama walked off with a grin and the ball.
⸻
🏰Meridian 99 – Bench Mob 112
Bench Warmer Arena was buzzing all game, until Bench slammed the door mid–4th with a double-digit closer. Huffman muscled a big 22/16, Papitzakis picked his spots, and the Mob earned it at the stripe and on the glass. Meridian flashed stretches of the “clinic” look, but only Curley finished positive in +/-—a sign the rotations didn’t pop tonight.
⸻
🥤California 105 – Wellington 112
Cali actually shot it—52% from deep—but Wellington owned the physical stuff: +25 rebounds and +12 free throws turned shot-making into win-making. Bunn/Wong did the heavy lifting; Suggs got numbers amid the rumor mill, but the Warthogs’ method was the message.
⸻
🧮Reductions 91 – Wobbles 127
Cruise control by Wob. Trimone detonated off the bench (28 on 12–14), Hosemann cleaned, and the ball zipped. Ying Ming hung 31 to keep the score respectable, but this never felt close.
⸻
🐏Kiwi 131 – White Walkers 39
Palma handed out 14 dimes, the defense swatted 10, and the board count hit 67. Walkers… walked (again).
⸻
✨Stars of the Night
• Zigui (Innovatus): 38/10, go-to buckets.
• Olmos (Delta): 31/8/7, pace car in a statement W.
• Zviedris (FR-S): 35/17/5, weekly MVP-level thunder.
• Skrzypacz (BC Lit): 32/15/4, carried the load through regulation.
• Trimone (Wobbles): 28 on 12–14, microwave.
• Wui Kwong (Tasty): 28/9 AST, clutch table-setting.
• Stapleton (Innovatus): 22 REB, vacuum cleaner award.
• Palma (Kiwi): 14 AST in a track meet.
⸻
🔮 What It Means
Innovatus proved their ceiling while BC Lit showed they can scheme with anyone—if the legs hold. Delta just authored a “we’re for real” win over Wasco; Wobbles reminded everyone the machine still hums; Tasty’s guards are peaking at a good time. Wellington’s muscle memory still wins games, and Llama just banked a morale win in the mud. The stretch run is here as rotations will tig

A lot of big lines from individual players last night!

I really thought I'd be able to pull off the upset :(... But it was fitting that guard defense doomed me as that's the focus of my next rebuild...

📅 Game 17 (Tuesday, Sep 9, 2025)
Playoff vibes crept in this week: Innovatus flexed on TV, Tasty flipped a script, and the Reductions’ close-game witchcraft survived another star turn from Zviedris. Wobbles stayed ruthless, and Llama… well, you know.
⸻
🌟 Game of the Night: Innovatus 123 – Meridian 105 🚦🧱
Televised statement. Innovatus’ inside/discipline combo broke Meridian’s resistance: Zigui bullied the mid-post (35/9/5), Stapleton vacuumed everything (15/16), and the guards spread the damage while the 3-2 zone blunted dribble attacks. Meridian hung for three quarters, then got ground down in the fourth. This is what “playoff ready” looks like.
⸻
📈 Tasty 98 – Bench Mob 83 🍬🧱
Tale of two halves. Down 12 at the break, Tasty detonated a +29 second half (36–16 in the 3rd; 29–20 in the 4th) behind Bachelier’s hot hand and a humming Motion offense. McFadden (20/12) battled, but Papitzakis ran cold and turnovers piled up late. Momentum win for Tasty, warning siren for the Mob’s perimeter shot diet.
⸻
🥉 Third: Reductions 122 – FR-S 115 🧪🔥
FR-S started like a brush fire (39 in the 1st), but the Reductions’ patience + zone + whistle math prevailed. Ying Ming poured in 42 while the hosts stacked assists and earned a decisive parade to the stripe; Zviedris was monstrous (38/9/6) but couldn’t drag FR-S through a choppy fourth. BBM chatter about a Zviedris sale won’t quiet after this.
⸻
🚀 Innovatus 123 – Meridian 105 (Televised)
Already covered up top, but one more note: Innovatus clearly punched the effort button and it showed in every rotation.
⸻
🪄 Wobbles 131 – BC Lituanica 109
GDP nailed, shots fell, and Wobbles rolled. Anguera authored a line (35/8/6) that felt inevitable once the pace tilted; Skrzypacz’s near-triple-double (15/10/9) was crafty, just not enough stops. Big 8 leaders did Big 8 leader things.
⸻
🌊 Delta 98 – California Supreme 84 (Televised)
Cali had it… then lost the fourth 29–12. Supreme’s perimeter D smothered wings, but Delta kept hammering inside and finally cracked the boards and whistles late. Home court and effort edge couldn’t offset the interior math down the stretch.
⸻
🧶 Wasco 115 – Ferth 106
Classic “many hands” Wasco win: balanced scoring, smart glass work, and composure. Forrai went nuclear (41/8) to keep Ferth in it, but without a second punch the Tigers’ discipline wore them down. A standings-steadying W for Wasco.
⸻
🐑 Kiwi 115 – Wellington 98
Run-and-gun clinic. Kiwi sprinted to a 31–19 opener and never looked back, shooting with ruthless efficiency (53% from 2, 43% from 3 per scout notes) while neutralizing Wellington’s look-inside plan. Bunn (22) and Wong (18/11) worked, but the Pimp machine kept humming.
⸻
🏔️ Llama 156 – White Walkers 37
Joining the +100 club (again). No need to belabor it—Llama handled business, rotated generously, and got everybody a slice. Walkers walked.
⸻
📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• C. Zigui (Innovatus): 35/9/5, tone-setter inside.
• W. Stapleton (Innovatus): 15/16, owned the glass lanes.
• N. Ying Ming (Reductions): 42 and buckets when it mattered.
• R. Zviedris (FR-S): 38/9/6 in a losing epic.
• M. Anguera (Wobbles): 35/8/6, star power in motion.
• A. Forrai (Ferth): 41/8—hero ball that almost worked.
• Bachelier (Tasty): 25 and the spark for a tidal 2nd half.
⸻
🔮 What It Means
Innovatus just planted a playoff flag, Wobbles keep wearing the Big 8 crown comfortably, and Wasco’s “collective > star” approach keeps paying dividends. Tasty’s surge hints at a dangerous late-season version, while the Reductions remain the league’s chaos gremlins—win or win-ish in the margins. Cali’s path is still murky, and FR-S must decide whether to cash in their centerpiece or double down for the sprint. On to Game 18.

I suppose I should be happy that Ralfis avoided long term injury... But c'mon! He was on his way to another monster performance before that one...

Looks like I'm destined to close without another win this season... Bummer.

📅 Game 18 (Saturday, Sept 13, 2025)
Week 18 gave us overtime drama, statement wins, and some great stat-padding.
⸻
🌟Game of the Night: The Reductions 143 – Bench Mob 135 (OT)
They are the undisputed kings of cardiac finishes. After coughing up a late lead, The Reductions let Daigle bomb them for 46 points (including 10 triples) and nearly steal it. But when it mattered, Ng Ying Ming shot fire—40 points on 6–10 from deep, including a clutch three over Linazasoro to send it to OT. Major (32 pts, 7 ast) and Goundo (24 off the bench) carried the day. Bench Mob had plenty of firepower—Linazasoro had 30, Papitzakis added 29—but the Reductions’ glass work (61 rebounds and 24-27 free throws) tilted it. Lots of scoring, only one finisher.
⸻
📈Meridian Hill 102 – Wobbles 114 🌀
Meridian kept it close until the 4th, but Wobbles’ depth and defense finally cracked them. Samara stuffed the box score (28/8 ast/4 stl), Rivera (21) kept pressure on, and Er-Rai (16/12, 3 blk) owned the paint. Cervantes (27) and Nash (19) gave Hill hope, but poor shot selection (39–90 FG) meant they couldn’t hang late. Wobbles’ machine keeps humming on top of the Great 8.
⸻
🔥Tasty 109 – Innovatus 122
It looked like Tasty might spring the upset—they led after three. Then the hammer dropped: a 38–21 4th quarter for Innovatus. Zigui (29/17/5 OR) was unstoppable, Ikoma (22/8 ast) ran the show, and five players hit double figures. Wui Kwong tried to drag Tasty to glory with 39 points and Bachelier added 25, but the lack of bench punch was glaring. Innovatus had balance; Tasty had heart.
⸻
🐑Kiwi 91 – Delta 105
Kiwi prepped all week, but Olmos had other plans—21 pts, 7 ast, and a pristine 21.0 efficiency rating. Newcomer Piccolo chipped in, giving Delta’s backcourt a late-season facelift (and a backcourt payroll larger than the Reductions’ entire squad). Kiwi’s Rae fouled out trying to contain the surge, and Guaraes collected his boards. Delta’s getting interesting.
⸻
🍇Llama 86 – Wellington 104
Llama’s rebounding woes told the tale—Jurtaugas was out of position, and Wellington feasted. Cisneros (25) and Apatič (21) powered the guard line, while Bunn (20 on 8–9 FG) was flawless. Llama got 25 from Babenko and 15 from Doerr, but Wellington’s 16 made threes were a dagger. A tidy, balanced win for the Warthogs.
⸻
🌴California Supreme 93 – Ferth 106
Call it a “training for relegation” special. Cali fought harder than usual, led by Faltýnek’s bruising 16/14 with 6 offensive boards in 25 minutes, but Ferth’s balance prevailed. With Suggs gone, Myles struggled to lead the way, leaving Supreme without their usual leader. Ferth’s steady depth and rebounding edge sealed it.
⸻
🇱🇹BC Lituanica 124 – FR-S 115
Cue that Vince Carter gif: it’s over. BC Lit-up the scoreboard with four players at 22+, led by Pessach’s 27/6/11 and Baratović’s 11 dimes. FR-S’s Rocher (22/9) showed flashes, Zviedris (21/8/6 in 28 minutes) was smooth, but the defense bled too many easy looks. Lituanica keeps life in the middle-tier chase.
⸻
🐅Wasco 130 – White Walkers 22
Pisano (32/11/5) and Davis (26/7/3 stl) didn’t even need to break a sweat. No one has needed any dragonglass all season to defeat these White Walkers.
⸻
📊Stars of the Night✨
• Daigle (Bench Mob): 46 pts, 10 threes, season-high.
• Ng Ying Ming (Reductions): 40 pts, 6–10 3PT, game-winner.
• Alamaniotis (Reductions): 24 rebounds, 5 blocks—monster glass work.
• Pisano (Wasco): 32/11/5, MVP of the night.
• Wui Kwong (Tasty): 39 pts, still fearless.
⸻
🔮What's it all mean, Basil?
The Reductions are in third place with a -27 point differential on the season due to late game wizardry. Wobbles and Innovatus stay steady atop the Great 8. Delta’s backcourt reinforcements might be a problem come playoffs, while FR-S looks finished. Th

📅 Game 19 (Tuesday, Sept 16, 2025)
Crunch time’s coming: contenders flexed, mid-packers scrambled, and even the Walkers found fresh ways to embarrass themselves. Let’s break it down.
⸻
🌟 Game of the Night: Wellington 87 – Wasco 92 🐗🐅
This had the feel of a playoff preview. Wellington’s ball movement cut holes in Wasco’s 3-2 early, and Bunn (18/4/7) steadied them into the 4th. But then Pisano and Sorensen went to work. A beautifully drawn PnR freed Pisano (26/14) for the dagger with 17 seconds left, and the Tigers escaped with their 14th win. Credit Wellington’s defense for holding Wasco under 100 — something few can do — but the champs still close like champs.
⸻
📈 Ferth 100 – Kiwi 116 🐏
Ferth kept it tight through three, but Kiwi’s athleticism wore them down. Rae (30/8, 14-24 FG) set the tone, Guaraes bullied the glass (20/17), and Katerskis dished 9. Forrai (27/6) and Kochanski (15/14) fought hard, but turnovers piled up and Kiwi ran away late. Sheep Pimps stay firmly in the top-4 chase.
⸻
⚡ Delta 110 – Llama 96 🦙💊
Llama had the upset brewing, leading after three, before Delta’s depth and 70–46 rebounding edge crushed them. Olmos (40 pts, 8-13 3PT) was unstoppable, Kester added 21/10/6, and Solomon/Shelley cleaned up the boards. Mengler (24/12) and Sánchez (19/9) gave resistance, but once the threes started falling, the Barn went quiet.
⸻
🚀 Innovatus 115 – Reductions 108
Another night, another Zigui showcase. The big man went 26/9, while Richardson dropped 37 to silence the home crowd. Innovatus put all five starters in double figures and showed their balance. The Reductions had fire of their own — Major (23/7/8) and Ying Ming grinding out points — but couldn’t keep up with the two-headed hammer. Innovatus stays one back of Wobbles, still sniffing that #1 seed.
⸻
🐝 Bench Mob 119 – BC Lituanica 106
Mob muscled their way to 63 boards and spread the wealth: Huffman (19/19), McFadden (24/16), Daigle (17), and Papitzakis (9 ast) all contributed. Lit had flashes — Paama (29), Pessach (25/9 ast), Skrzypacz (25) — but the defense cracked, and the bench (De Angeli 13 in 12 minutes) swung momentum. Bench are back in the playoff hunt; Lit’s roster-for-sale vibes keep lingering.
⸻
☕ Meridian 111 – FR-S 77
Kotrokois torched off the bench (25 on 10-17, 5-8 from three), Pollock added 18/8 ast, and Nash chipped 14. FR-S still had Rocher (18/7/5) and Zviedris (14), but the guards were overmatched and the team shot 1-12 from deep. Meridian move to 11 wins and keep their postseason cushion. FR-S looks cooked.
⸻
🏀 Wobbles 103 – Tasty 85
Anguera was smooth (33/5, 15-24 FG), Samara (18/4 ast/4 stl) locked down, and Er-Rai (18/12) stayed efficient. Benoit (21/12) and Lovaina (14/5) battled, but the Wobs simply played cleaner — 24 assists to 11 turnovers — and now eye homecourt all the way.
⸻
🌴 Cali 98 – White Walkers 74
Locklear did everything (31/11/8), Vogt had 24/7, and Wilhelm posted 17/12 with 5 blocks. A 24 point loss is basically a win at this point, right?
⸻
📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• Olmos (Delta): 40 pts, 8-13 from deep, flamethrower.
• Locklear (Cali): 31/11/8, carried them.
• Pisano (Wasco): 26/14, dagger bucket.
• Huffman (Bench Mob): 19/19, brute force.
• Anguera (Wobs): 33 on 62.5% shooting, smooth assassin.
⸻
🔮 What It Means
Wasco and Wobbles keep pole positions, Innovatus won’t stop chasing, and Delta looks terrifying when Olmos is on. Meridian and Kiwi solidified playoff ground, Bench Mob staked a claim, and Cali at least beat someone not named “Walkers.” With five games left, the mid-pack scrum (Tasty, Bench, Lit, Wellington) is where the real carnage is coming. The real wild card? Who’s going to make the next big pick up from the transfer list? It’s getting interesting in here…

📅 Game 20 (Saturday, Sept 20, 2025)
Wasco survived, the Reductions handled business, and Llama put on a poster session. Two games left and the brackets aren’t set quite yet. Let’s go:
⸻
🌟 Game of the Night: Kiwi 92 – Wasco 93 🥝🐅
Five-point Kiwi lead with 2:00 left… and then Wasco did Wasco things. Sorensen’s 35 plus clamps on the final possession (a head scratching look from Palma who was 0–9 FG on the night) iced it, while Pisano vacuumed 23 boards. Rae (27, 5–9 3PT) and Guaraes (18 on 7–10) had Wasco wobbling, but the Tigers’ 60–48 glass edge and late-game shot-making kept the 1-seed on track.
⸻
📈 Meridian 82 – The Reductions 94 🔴☕
Statement quarters: Reductions won the 2nd 28–12 and the 3rd 22–13 to cruise. Ying Ming (26, almost all from the first half) and Major (23) set the tone, while the bench piled in enough to keep minutes sane. Meridian got 27 from Cervantes and 15 from Pollock, but shot 6–25 from deep and never recovered from the mid-game avalanche.
⸻
🚀 Bench Mob 84 – Wobbles 111
Mob pushed effort and went Look Inside; Wobbles shrugged and ran a clinic. Anguera (18/6 ast), Samara (15 on 6–13 with 3 threes) and a 53–42 board edge told the story. Mob’s interior trio battled (Huffman 13 on 6–7; McFadden 10 reb) but shot 33–92 overall and only 3–11 from deep. Wobs keep the Big 8 lead.
⸻
🍔 BC Lituanica 73 – Tasty 121
A palate cleanser for Tasty fans. Seven in double figures, Dickens 22 rebounds, Benoit (23/16), Bachelier (20), McAteer (21), and an efficient 43–83 FG as the lead ballooned every quarter. Lit’s Paama (19) and Skrzypacz (14/9 ast) fought, but 22–72 shooting won’t travel.
⸻
🐗 Wellington 120 – Ferth 107
Professional road win. Abrahamsohn was a metronome (26/11 ast on 10–14), Apatič 27, Bunn 16 with 10 boards, and Wellington hit 13 threes at 48%. Ferth’s Spuldzinieks dropped 31 and Faltýnek added 16/17, but the Warthogs’ 48 glass work and 28 assists smoothed every bump.
⸻
🦙 California Supreme 51 – Llama 118
This was a dunk tape. Llama shot 57% and ripped 12 steals, 9 blocks; Sánchez went 12–14 for 25/12, Doerr 23, Kung yung 9 with 8 ast (from the 5!), and Babenko piloted the blowout. Cali took the night off.
⸻
🔧 Innovatus 115 – FR-S 101
Zigui (29 on 10–13 and 8–8 FT) dominated; Richardson added 23; Ikoma handed out 11 assists; and Innovatus hit 51% as five cracked double figures. FR-S actually scored inside (Mims 26 on 12–15, Zviedris 14/10), but the outside is where they got hung up: 1–12 from three and turnover leaks ended any upset talk.
⸻
🌪️ The White Walkers 33 – Delta 126
Piccolo has found his rhythm next to Olmos, and Delta is looking tough as we get closer to the playoffs. I’m beginning to think The White Walkers may not get a W this season….
⸻
📊 Stars of the Night ✨
• Sorensen (Wasco): 35/13, game-winner energy.
• Pisano (Wasco): 15/23, owned the glass late.
• Ng Ying Ming (Reductions): 26 on 63% with four triples, set the tone.
• Abrahamsohn (Wellington): 26 pts, 11 ast, conductor’s baton.
• Sánchez (Llama): 25/12 on 12–14; efficiency clinic.
• Zigui (Innovatus): 29 on 10–13, eight freebies, bully ball.
⸻
🔮 What It Means
Top lines held: Wobbles lead the Big 8 (16–4) with Innovatus one back; Reductions stabilized but not locked in to 3rd (or the playoffs, at that); Tasty and Meridian are tied at 11–9, Bench Mob is trying to stay relevant. Over in the Great 8, Wasco (15–5) remains in control, Delta (13–7) is surging, Kiwi/Wellington are fighting for the final two spots as Llama surges. A lot can happen with two games left.
