Indiana FevervsPortland Fire
IND 84/POR 100
Things to say
Portland Fire beat the Indiana Fever 100-84 at the Moda Center.
01
Fire rolled the Fever 100-84 in Portland. Wasn't really close down the stretch. Moda was loud.
02
key player
Gustafson went for 22 and was a problem in the paint all night. Fever had no answer.
03
hot take
Caitlin Clark with only 6 dimes and no points lead? Fever can't keep asking her to do everything.
04
deep cut
Carla Leite dropped a 12-assist clinic. Rookie running the show like she's been there.
05
exit
Portland's 6-4 now. Wonder if they keep this up against the tougher West slate coming.
The recap
Portland Fire took Indiana to the woodshed, 100-84, and it wasn't really that close down the stretch. Megan Gustafson was cooking in the paint all night for 22, and Carla Leite ran the show with a clean dozen dimes — she had the Fever defense on skates.
Aliyah Boston did what she could with 18 and 7, but Caitlin Clark couldn't buy a bucket and Indiana just got ate up on the glass. Fire move to 6-4, Fever take the L and drop to .500.
