Portland Fire W vs Connecticut Sun W коначан резултат 87-90 — Jul 14, 2026 | Резултат, бокс скор и статистика

Connecticut arrives in freefall at 6-19, having lost 4 of its last 5 games including back-to-back home losses to Minnesota and a narrow defeat to Dallas. The Sun's defense is particularly concerning, surrendering 85.7 PPG on the season. Portland comes in with genuine momentum after a 10-point road win over Atlanta, though the Fire also struggle defensively (91.0 OPPG allowed) and sit just 10-15. However, Portland's balanced scoring—led by Leite Carla's 14.5 PPG and 5.6 APG—gives them more offensive flexibility than Connecticut's B. Griner-dependent attack (13.2 PPG). The head-to-head history favors Portland decisively: they've beaten Connecticut twice this season (71-61, 83-82), both times controlling the pace and keeping the Sun under 83 points. Portland's tempo-setting offense and recent form edge outweigh Connecticut's tenuous home-court advantage. Both teams score in the low 80s, but Portland's superior playmaking and Connecticut's continued defensive vulnerabilities point to a modest Portland victory. Expect a slugfish first half—both offenses struggle early—followed by Portland pulling away slightly in the second half.
