Sophie Cunningham delivered a dominant performance Friday night as the Indiana Fever defeated the Portland Fire 112-98 in a matchup marked by crowd disruptions. The guard finished with 13 points on efficient 4-of-6 shooting, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, while posting the second-best plus-minus on the court at plus-18.
Cunningham faced consistent booing from the Portland crowd throughout the evening but responded with composed play on both ends of the floor. After drilling a three-pointer during the contest, she acknowledged the crowd’s reaction, drawing further attention to the tense atmosphere at the arena.
The victory marked the Fever’s fifth consecutive win. Caitlin Clark led all players with a plus-23 rating in the win, with the team’s balanced offensive attack overwhelming Portland’s defense throughout the matchup.
