How it Happened
 
The first quarter was tight most of the way, with neither team getting a lead greater than two. The Pilots put together a 12-1 run in the final two minutes – including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Tiffany Barbosa – to take a 24-13 lead heading into the second quarter. The second quarter was even most of the way, with the Pilots slightly outscoring the Eagles 15-12, culminating in another buzzer beater from Barbosa to make it 39-25 Pilots.
 
The Eagles cut into Portland's lead slightly in the third, scoring 19 points off 58.3% shooting. But the Pilots responded just enough to keep the lead at double-digits.
