1-0 is a solid score when all you need is three points against the top team in the East (who is still at the top right now). Our possession, on the other hand, was once again a tale of two halves.

In the first half the Fire averaged around 54.5% of possession (+9%), but in the second half took a deep drop to about 38.6% possession (-22.8%). While you don’t need 99% to win a game, it’s nice to control the pace when you have a lead and this defense isn’t cutting it. But this week we have a chance to build momentum.
