Stephanie White praises Fire after Fever’s blowout loss
Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White says the Portland Fire were the hungrier team in their blowout loss.
After a close loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday, the Fever suffered a 100-84 setback to Portland on Saturday.
Apart from the foul trouble of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston’s minute restriction, White pointed out how the Fire wanted the win more than them.
“I just thought they were the hungrier team,” White said during her post-game interview.
Portland’s crucial runs in the first and third quarters made the biggest difference during the game.
This is why White lauded the Fire for having the energy to execute their game plan against them and eventually secure the victory.
“I thought that they played with a relentless effort, a relentless pursuit to get to what they wanted,” the former WNBA Coach of the Year stated. “… to be disruptive on defense, to get to their spots on offense.
“I thought their competitive spirit was better than ours.”
Indiana Fever come up short vs. Portland Fire
Despite this second straight defeat, the Fever were still abel to draw some positives from the game. They were led by Boston’s 18 points and seven rebounds.
Boston also had an injury scare in the fourth quarter when she landed awkwardly after a contested layup on a fast break play. Fortunately, it was just cramps, and she was able to shrug it off.
Other key contributors on the offensive end for Indiana were Kelsey Mitchell, who had 17 points. Sophie Cunningham dropped 15 points, while Makayla Timpson logged 11.
They’ll head back home on Thursday to kick off their defense of the Commissioner’s Cup title. The Fever will host Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream in the in-season tournament.
