Head-to-head statistics Seattle Storm (W) - Portland Fire (W)
Seattle Storm (W) Team Overview
The hosts are currently far from their best form, winning just 21.6% of their games this season. They did, however, finally break a long losing streak with a much-needed victory over Chicago (97-88) after dropping 11 straight. There are certainly glimpses of promising offensive basketball from this team, especially at home, where they average 86.2 points per game - a respectable tally that could rise even further if they push the tempo. Defense remains a persistent issue, though: they typically concede around 90 points per contest, regardless of whether they’re playing at home or on the road.

Portland Fire (W) Team Overview
The visiting side are in slightly better form, winning 37.1% of their games. They've recently put together some strong performances, including a notable victory over the Storm. Prior to that, they got the better of Toronto with a 97-83 win. Admittedly, their record against top-tier opponents has been less impressive - just days ago, they fell to Minnesota, 81-85. Still, even in that matchup, the team looked more than competitive. In this game, their offense should fare reasonably well, thanks to a high tempo and the overall level of their opponents. It's realistic to expect them to at least match their season scoring average of 86 points.
