Portland Fire vs Dallas Wings Final Score & Over/Under Result — Aug 25, 2026

Dallas's defensive form came to the forefront as the Wings held Portland to 78 points, well below the Fire's season average of 91.1 per game. The Wings rode Paige Bueckers's all-around play—22 points and 11 assists—and Jessica Shepard's 21 points and 9 rebounds to a 96–78 victory. The combined total landed at 174, three and a half points under the market of 177.5, a result DAGGER's pregame call predicted accurately.

The game's arc told the story of a defensive battle that tightened as it progressed. The first half stayed competitive with combined scoring of 87 points across both quarters, but Dallas's third-quarter efficiency—holding Portland to just 15 combined points in Q3—proved decisive. The final quarter erupted for 51 combined points, the game's highest-scoring frame, yet it arrived too late for Portland to threaten. Bridget Carleton (14 points, 4 assists), Karlie Samuelson (14 points), and Megan DiLeo (13 points) led Portland's offense, while Arike Ogunbowale chipped in 17 for Dallas. Against the backdrop of the season series splitting at 101–97 and 83–84, this matchup played as a defensive showcase—one that rewarded the under and underscored Dallas's ability to limit an opponent's scoring potential despite the Fire's elevated season pace.
