RECAP: The Free Agents put up a hell of a fight, as they are apt to do. They took the finesse right out of this game and forced Meta World War to grind with them, which frustrated the Metas for three quarters. But in the end, FAS’s lack of depth did them in. Meta was no deeper, but in the 4th qtr, when both teams were tired, MWW’s athleticism took over. The game turned into a battle of muscle memory and instinct, and MWW was a step quicker and a thought faster on every play down the stretch to win this one decisively. MWW forced 23 TOs on 15 stls, including 9 in the final quarter. That’s pretty much impossible to overcome, and proved to be the difference here. Meta World War will return to the title game.

RECAP: It seemed like at any moment, the NY Dynasty would get over the hump, but they just never did. Both teams had the length and athleticism to make this one a defensive battle, and that’s exactly what they did. But whereas it seemed like Guard Me Maybe didn’t quite play with enough urgency at times, DYN played with too much. Every time DYN started to make a run, they forced a pass in transition or rushed a shot that let GMM off the hook. They just never looked composed in this game, even missing 6-9 FTs in the 4th qtr. GMM, on the other hand, never let up. Led by another Draymond-esque night from (F) Darnell Cudjoe and efficient shooting from (G) Jason Crowell, they got the result and will play for the spring title tonight.
