Tuesday, July 7 was an absolute barnburner in the Clutch Time Association. Nine games. Drama in every quarter. But nothing — NOTHING — topped what On the come up and NDZ Reapers cooked up in their first matchup of the night. Final score: 122-115. NDZxtaylormade went absolutely nuclear — 43 points and 19 assists, a massive double-double — and it still wasn't enough. On the come up's Zxqcrz answered with a double-double of his own (35 pts, 21 ast), SCethangreen added 35 points with 6 steals, and OTB donut hauled in 11 rebounds to seal the deal. That's three weapons firing at once. NDZ Reapers, you had a legend-level performance from your guy and walked away with an L. That stings.

Then On the come up did it AGAIN in the rematch, winning 68-65 in a grinder. Zxqcrz — who apparently didn't feel like sitting down — posted yet another double-double (11 pts, 13 ast), SCethangreen led scoring with 21, and OTB donut grabbed 10 boards. NDZxsamx battled hard with 21 points and 4 steals for NDZ Reapers, but the sweep was complete. On the come up is now on a 4-game win streak and looking like the team nobody wants to see right now.

Over on the Always grinding side, AG Bookehm was a one-man wrecking crew. He dropped 39 points in a 93-70 blowout win at home, then earlier in the day helped Always grinding roll 53-28 on the road. Two wins on the day for Always grinding — they were on a 2-game skid coming in, and Bookehm hit the reset button in a serious way. Meanwhile, About that aKtion had a split day — winning 68-65 in one outing but dropping 76-68 in another, with NDZxsnipe pouring in 30 points in the loss. About that aKtion is now on a 2-game losing streak and needs to find some consistency fast.

Don't sleep on the one-point war either — Pharoes Wrath fell 58-57 in a game that could've gone either way. lcapalottzil put up a double-double (18 pts, 14 ast) for Pharoes Wrath and it still wasn't enough. chill easy grabbed 10 boards to add to the effort, but the W slipped away by a single bucket. Pharoes Wrath drops to 2-4 and has now lost 3 straight. And shoutout to Costal dynasty, who went 2-0 on the day — TrustPoke dominated the glass in both games and Bedroc101 led scoring in one of them with 22. The Costal dynasty faithful finally have something to smile about.
