Sunday, August 9th in the BLPL, and TRU MINT made it crystal clear — Teal is not the team you want to see on your schedule right now. TRU MINT swept the two-game series, winning 91-89 and then 79-73, and the performances backing those wins were absolutely filthy.

Game one was a dogfight. Teal led after the first quarter and TRU MINT had to claw back, but they got it done 91-89. The headliner on the losing side? YeirPop dropped a game-high 33 points for Teal — that's a bucket-getter doing everything he could. But TRU MINT had their own weapons. Ciinko x went off for 27 points AND 19 assists — a double-double that had the whole gym buzzing — while BTG_Tovanon quietly stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points and 15 rebounds, a double-double of his own. Two double-doubles in a single game. That's how you win close ones.

Game two wasn't as close, but Ciinko x wasn't done showing out. He followed up with 28 points and 15 assists — another double-double — making it back-to-back monster performances on the same night. BTG_Tovanon added 23 and 9 to round out another complete team effort. Teal got 25 points from tri JDOGG and 22 from Tay2k15TTV, but it wasn't enough to hold off a TRU MINT squad that's now riding a 2-game win streak and looking increasingly dangerous at 14-12.

Speaking of streaks — keep an eye on the big picture. Green Lightning have won 5 straight and sit at 19-7 in the West. All The Smoke are also on a 5-game run at 18-8 in the East. And Camo Elite are still winless in their last 10, the lone team that just can't find a way out. But today belonged to TRU MINT — and specifically to Ciinko x, who put together one of the most complete two-game stretches we've seen all season.
