Portland Dominates Atlanta in Thriller | Atlanta News

Portland Fire surged to a commanding 101-83 win over the Atlanta Dream, snapping Atlanta’s four-game winning streak with a stellar offensive performance. Emily Engstler poured in 25 points while Carla Leite added 26, including all four of her three-pointers, as Portland shot an impressive 58% from the field and 43% from deep. Atlanta’s defense struggled against Portland’s versatile bigs, and early mistakes allowed Portland to build unstoppable momentum. Despite a third-quarter rally that cut the lead to seven, Engstler sealed the game with a buzzer-beating three. Atlanta’s 18 turnovers were ruthlessly exploited by Portland, who turned them into easy points. The loss leaves Atlanta at 25-14 (playoff-bound) and Portland at 16-23. Angel Reese picked up her eighth technical foul this season — though the team plans to appeal it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
