Indiana FevervsPortland Fire
IND 112/POR 98
Things to say
The Indiana Fever beat the Portland Fire 112-98 on the road at the Moda Center.
01
opener
Fever went into Portland and just handled business, 112-98. Never really felt close in the second half. They pulled away and cruised.
02
key player
Caitlin Clark stuffed the sheet — 26, 10, and 10 for the triple-double. She was running the whole show.
03
hot take
Portland's not as far off as that final looks. Take away one bad stretch and this is a two-possession game.
04
deep cut
Carla Leite dropped 12 dimes off the bench for Portland. Kid can flat-out pass, they just couldn't hit the shots she set up.
05
exit
Fever look locked in at 19-10 — I'll be watching to see if they keep it rolling next one.
The recap
Fever went into Portland and handled business, 112-98, and Caitlin Clark ran the whole show. She stuffed the stat sheet with a 26-10-10 triple-double, basically an absolute clinic in setting the table and getting her own buckets.
Bridget Carleton dropped 26 of her own and Carla Leite dished 12 dimes to keep the Fire in it, but Indiana just had too much and pulled away. Portland takes the L and drops to 11-18 while the Fever roll on at 19-10.
