The Connecticut Sun (1-7) visit the Portland Fire (4-3) in a regular-season WNBA matchup on Wednesday, May 27, at the Moda Center.
Portland and Connecticut have already clashed once this season, with the Fire narrowly escaping with an 83-82 win. That was closer than the Fire had expected, as their three-point shooting wasn't up to par. Bridget Carleton and Sara Ashlee Baker led them with 18 points apiece.
The Fire would then lose to the Indiana Fire the following game, but bounced back nicely with two straight wins, including an 81-74 victory over the New York Liberty. They flexed their might on defense, forcing New York to 19 turnovers.
Carla Leite topscored for the Fire with 18 points on 57.1% shooting.
As for the Sun, they still have the worst record in the league so far. After an inspiring win against the Seattle Storm, they fell back to earth with back-to-back double-digit losses.
Most recently, Connecticut succumbed to the Golden State Valkyries, 97-70. They only scored eight points in the second period, while allowing the Valkyries to score at least 20 in each quarter.
The Sun's struggles on offense in that game weren't a surprise, considering that they're last in the league in offensive rating (94.4).
