The Liberty held on 81-74, with the combined 155 total landing well under the 172.5 market total that DAGGER had targeted. The model's UNDER call cashed comfortably, by 17.5 points.
The first half favored neither team decisively. Q1 brought 37 combined points, then Q2 cooled to 31, leaving the teams tied at 68 apiece at halftime. New York found its rhythm in Q3, outscoring Portland 24-14 to build separation. But Portland's 32-point fourth quarter—the game's highest-scoring frame—turned that cushion into a narrow deficit. Marine Johannes added 17 points and 6 assists for Liberty, while Jonquel Jones chipped in 12 points and 11 rebounds. For Portland, Carla Leite led with 18 points and Megan Gustafson contributed 11. The second half's 87 combined points told the story of a low-scoring contest that never approached pregame expectations, despite the visitors' late surge.
