North Carolina found a way to win again, this time in their hardest challenge yet, on the road against 2nd ranked Orlando. They maintain a 9 point lead over Seattle (who has a game in hand) for 2nd place and are 13 points above the playoff line (with a game in hand over 5th place Houston) with 14 games to play. Portland won their second straight, and Sky Blue remained winless on the season.
No real “big winners” this week as Portland swapped places with Utah and Houston traded with Chicago, all for moves of only 1 slot.
