Goncalves Miners Gets Win Against Indaiatuba Riders for 3rd Straight Win

This week’s two highest-scoring teams met in an epic battle as Goncalves Miners defeated Indaiatuba Riders 148.70 to 139.92. This is the most a team has scored this season without getting a victory. The loss drops Indaiatuba Riders to 2-10 (14th place) and extends their losing streak to five. Goncalves Miners (6-6) has the second-highest points per game average at 122.72.
