Portland FirevsChicago Sky
POR 78/CHI 101
Things to say
Chicago Sky beat the Portland Fire 101-78 at home.
01
opener
Sky finally looked like a team last night. They ran Portland off the floor, 101-78. Never really close after the first.
02
key player
Skylar Diggins ran the whole show. 15 and 6 dimes, just controlled the pace the entire night.
03
hot take
Portland's 8-10 record is fool's gold. They get exposed against anybody with size.
04
deep cut
Azura Stevens cleaned the glass with 11 boards. Chicago owned the paint all game and it wasn't close.
05
exit
Gustafson dropped 17 in a loss, total waste. We'll see if Portland bounces back next game.
The recap
Chicago came out and absolutely ate Portland up, running them off the floor 101-78 for a much-needed win. This was a team effort with balanced buckets all night, Skylar Diggins setting the table with 15 and 6 dimes while Azura Stevens cleaned the glass with 11 boards.
Portland never got it going outside of Megan Gustafson, who put up 17 but got next to no help. The Fire took an ugly L on the road, while a 5-12 Sky finally looked like they were having fun.
