Raykins succumb to Super Mario-Ta, 124.74-105.32

There's no easy way to say it, Raykins didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as Super Mario-Ta emerged victorious with a 124.74-105.32 victory. Super Mario-Ta jumped out to a 60.68-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind outstanding showings from Demaryius Thomas (21.5 points) and Cooper Kupp (21) and never looked back. Stefon Diggs (21.6 points) and Mark Ingram (21.3) were the top scorers for Raykins in the loss. Super Mario-Ta (3-2) will look to earn another W against Turn ur head n Goff, while Raykins (3-2) will try to right the ship against Magic Michael.
