 75
Gran 51 vs. TrendSetters 17
The final game of the night was a very lopsided. 75 Gran started
off the game with something to prove and the TrendSetters had
no answer. 75 Gran pressed the entire game and the TrendSetters
could not handle the pressure. The game got so ugly, the officials,
table, refs, and even players wanted to stop the game. 75 Gran
would get a steal, block, or lay-up and members on the TrendSetters
would laugh. These players played with no heart or pride and "yeah
I laughed at yall too because this team is a joke." "The
TrendSetters are terrible and will probably go winless for the
season." Undefeated 75 Gran was led by Kevin Julien's 19
points. Yatti and Delroy added 9 apiece.
