It’s never fun to see a win streak come to an end, but to see a team go from dominant to dormant in the span of a week just hurts.
A sixth versus seventh place matchup in the Eastern Conference promised some more fireworks from two sides fighting to keep their spots ahead of the dreaded Red Line, but from the onset the match at Subaru Park seemed very one sided. Josef Martinez was kept from travelling out of precaution due to a slight knee injury, but the Five Stripes still had the necessary firepower in Barco, Moreno, and Araujo, as we saw two weeks ago against Orlando.
