And just like that, Americans are out of international club play.
T7:
Brooklyn Kings
(269940) III.12 (2nd seed) They fell to their Russian foe who has double the total salary. It was an honest loss for a scrappy team.
T10:
Flying Ostriches
(31153) III.7 (6th seed) It could've gone either way in the final minutes here. Speedy made a bold tactical move with the Reverse Patient offense that worked well. But the double GDP miss proved to be more than what the team could overcome. In the end, their Bulgarian opponent made the Ostriches flightless again.
Good luck to all the American teams in season 55!
