There were 55 personal fouls in the game, as Utah (10-10) scored its final 13 points at the foul line. Portland (6-13) got its last five points at the line. Utah led 31-30 at halftime and maintained leads of one to seven points through the second half until the final nine-point margin. Adrienne Goodson had 18 points and Korie Hlede 13 for the Starzz. Sophia Witherspoon led the Fire with 19 points _ including 10-for-10 shooting on free throws _ and reserve Michelle Marciniak added 11.
