Dallas WingsvsPortland Fire
DAL 83/POR 84
Things to say
Portland Fire edged the Dallas Wings 84-83 at the Moda Center.
01
opener
Yeah I caught the Fire-Wings game. Portland snuck it 84-83, one-possession game the whole way. Moda was rocking.
02
key player
Bridget Carleton went for 20 and looked like she had ice in her veins down the stretch.
03
hot take
Arike dropped 22 and still took the L. Dallas can't keep wasting nights like that.
04
deep cut
Jessica Shepard had 14 boards and Dallas still got eaten up in the paint when it mattered.
05
exit
Wings should bounce back next one, but Portland's starting to look like a real problem.
The recap
Portland edged Dallas 84-83 in a one-possession nail-biter at the Moda Center, and the Fire will take that W any way they can get it. Bridget Carleton led the way with 20 buckets and Carla Leite was dishing all night with 8 dimes to keep the offense humming.
Arike went off for 22 and Jessica Shepard ate them up on the glass with 14 boards, but Dallas couldn't get that last stop when it mattered. Wings take the L by a single point and you know that one's gonna sting on the flight home.
