Dallas Wings W vs Portland Fire W wynik końcowy 101-97 — Jul 23, 2026 | Wynik, box score i statystyki

Dallas Wings enter as clear favorites with a 18-8 record and elite offensive efficiency (90.1 PPG), anchored by Paige Bueckers' 20.5 PPG and Jessica Shepard's dominant rebounding (11.6 RPG). Portland Fire, at 11-17, struggle defensively (allowing 90.0 PPG) and have lost three of their last five games, though they notched a narrow 84-83 victory over Dallas earlier this season. The matchup heavily favors Dallas' balanced scoring attack: Shepard, A. Ogunbowale (14.2 PPG), and role players provide relentless offensive production against Portland's permeable defense. Offensively, Portland's Leite Carla (14.9 PPG, 5.7 APG) leads a unit that averages only 84.4 PPG—a significant gap versus Dallas. Carleton Bridget and Gustafson Megan contribute solid role support, but they lack the playmaking depth and consistency to consistently challenge Dallas' defense (allowing just 85.1 PPG). Dallas' defensive efficiency and rebounding control, spearheaded by Shepard, will likely dominate the glass and limit second-chance opportunities for Portland. While home court at Moda Center provides Portland a modest lift and their June head-to-head result proves these teams are competitive, Dallas' superior record, form (3-2 in last five), and balanced offensive depth outweigh that edge. The recent one-point loss to Liberty suggests Dallas may be slightly cautious, but their talent gap and consistency make them the clear lean. Expect Dallas to control the rebounding battle, limit Portland's role players, and lean on Bueckers' scoring to secure a 6-point road victory in a below-average-pace game.
