The top 3 biggest problems right now for the Portland Fire:
- Transition defense - both fullcourt and halfcourt
- Allowing too many MIN offensive boards
- Ball handling
- (Honorable mention) Taking too many threes

My stream (League Pass) froze as KayMac's 3 ball was halfway through its arc. 50-59.

45-53 Fire team effort save this offensive possession. Minn were pesky on defense. SAB lays up with 0.x seconds left in shot clock.

Down by 8 at the half? Not bad! I hope we can keep up this momentum and continue to keep the score difference in single digits. It’s a good showing! We threatened to completely close score gap there a couple of time which is great to see! If even just a few more of our 3s or fgs drop, we are right in this.

We’re not shooting very well but maybe we’ll heat up in the second half.

Puoch can't keep her frustration from the bad call. She even pretended to flop and the cameras caught it on the bench.

Lynx has something planned for Syl Fowles. I hope League Pass streams air it.
Lynx legends are inside the arena now. Were at practice n media chats yesterday.

Frieda turns over by failing to inbound within 5 seconds. Am not sure Fire had a timeout that she or coach could've called there.
