Portland FirevsAtlanta Dream
POR 102/ATL 92
Things to say
Portland Fire beat the Atlanta Dream 102-92 on the road.
01
opener
Portland went into Atlanta and stole one, 102-92. Dream just couldn't get stops when it mattered. Ten-point road win, they earned that.
02
key player
Megan Gustafson quietly went for 17 and was a problem in the paint all night. Numbers don't even do it justice.
03
hot take
Allisha Gray dropped 20 but it was empty calories. You can lead your team in buckets and still take the L.
04
deep cut
Watch the assist battle. Carla Leite dishing 10 and Jordin Canada with a 12-dime double-double, and Portland still ran the show. Ball movement won that game.
05
exit
Fire are heating up though. Curious to see if they carry it into the next one.
The recap
Portland walked into Atlanta and grabbed a 102-92 road win, and it was a real team effort more than any one carry job. Megan Gustafson led the way with 17 and Carla Leite ran the show with 10 dimes, while Emily Engstler cleaned the glass with 11 boards.
Allisha Gray gave Atlanta 20 and Jordin Canada was dishing dimes all night with 12 assists, but the Dream couldn't find enough buckets to keep pace. Atlanta took the L at home and drops to 13-10 while Portland climbs back toward .500.
