Los Angeles Sparks vs Portland Fire Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 2, 2026

Bridget Carleton's 24 points and 11 rebounds carried Portland through most of the evening, but it wasn't enough to stop a fourth-quarter surge that sent Los Angeles to a 106–101 victory and pushed the combined total to 207—well over the 186.5 market line.

The first half stayed tight and sluggish, combining for just 92 points through two quarters. Portland led 49–43 at the break, powered by Carleton's early work and Carla Leite's court vision that produced 21 points and 8 assists. Los Angeles, however, tightened its grip in the third, outscoring Portland 29–23 to pull even. The pivot came in the fourth quarter, where the Sparks exploded for 34 combined points to Portland's 29, with Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike anchoring the final push—Hamby finishing with 23 points and 10 rebounds, Ogwumike adding 22 and 10. Megan DiLeo's 19 points kept Portland competitive, but the Sparks' depth proved decisive in the closing minutes.

DAGGER's pregame call leaned under on 186.5 and missed as the teams combined for 207—a 20.5-point overrun. The model's live adjustment hit, however, as fourth-quarter momentum shifted the narrative. The total had drifted down a full point to 185.5 at close, but the game's back-end explosion told the story: these offenses found their rhythm when it mattered most.
