Over the weekend fans got to see experienced teams like Houdini’s Problems triumph while newcomers like the Clozers collapsed under the pressure. Even squads with NBA players battled it out as and LAUNFD got passed , , and M.H.P. In either instance, the stars were out and the team’s best players balled out.

Some notable performances from the weekend included Malcolm Thomas’ 34-point game in a first-round win for the Citi Team Blazers. Drew League vet also put up 18 points for New Edition in a first-round loss against the Home Town Favorites.

James Harden was a top performer in the second round and dropped 45 points on Swaggy P Julius Randle and JaVale McGee to close out the first weekend.
