The last time we beat this team, (which is extremely rare), it took a shootout, and that was years ago. This time we beat them by one point. And this is without their ringer, who makes the entire team nearly unbeatable when he shows up, which is most of the time. They are a good, competitive team without him. When he shows up, their really good players click, and make great plays to get ahead early and then coast the rest of the game. EVERY SINGLE TIME. At least he didn’t show up this time and we had a decent game.
