Just when it seemed as if the Fuel had figured things out, though, San Francisco came back with a 1-0 full-hold on Hanamura and a 2-1 win on Busan to take the series.
The Shock moved into Paris' previous spot at sixth while the Fuel slid from 13th to 17th.
Despite the retirement of coach Felix "Fefe" Munch on Tuesday, the Defiant (4-5) looked well coordinated and had a clear game plan to keep the Uprising reeling. Boston (1-7) took Ilios 2-1 to start the series, but Toronto fired back with a 3-1 win on Dorado, a 3-2 victory on Eichenwalde and a 4-3 triumph on Paris.
