FaZe stretched their win streak to 11, the longest in regular season history, with a dominant win over the Blue Checks on Saturday night. With the Cold Hearts falling to Fear of God Athletics tonight, FaZe has officially clinched the one seed in the playoffs. Marcus Spears Jr. added to his already stellar resume with a nice line of 19 points, five boards and a block and steal apiece to keep his name in the MVP conversation 🏅

In a great showing in his second time back in Atlanta, Trae Nunn logged 18 points which included five made threes for the marksman. Seven Spurlock registered his first double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds 👌
