Carla Leite DELIVERED in the clutch to help secure the OT win for @theportlandfire in their final game of the season 🔥

What happened: Leite knocked down a clutch jumper through contact to fuel an 11-0 closing run. Portland needed overtime to finish the job in the season finale.

Why it matters: The win lets Portland end the season on a victory rather than a loss. Late-game production from Leite gives the club a concrete building block entering the 2026-27 cycle.

What to watch: Portland heads into the offseason. Leite's late-game form is the early watch point for next camp.
