Wolves Unleash Barrage from Deep, Silence Comets 108-124

HOUSTON – The Chicago Wolves lived up to their name, hunting down the Houston Comets with a relentless offensive attack, particularly from beyond the arc, en route to a decisive 124-108 victory on Saturday night. The Wolves’ three-point mastery was the story of the game, as they drained a staggering 25 triples to Houston’s 13, turning a tight contest in the first half into a comfortable lead by the final buzzer. Chicago came out firing, with Priya Reddy leading the charge. Her 29 points, including several crucial early baskets, set the tone. The Wolves’ ball movement was exceptional, dishing out 30 assists against a mere 4 turnovers, a testament to their cohesive offensive unit. Point guard Li Wang orchestrated the offense masterfully, racking up 11 assists to go with her 7 points and 7 rebounds. Houston battled valiantly, with center Eva Jensen putting up a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Kenji Ishikawa adding 16 points and 5 assists. Elias Sorenson also contributed 15 points and 3 assists, chipping away at the Wolves’ lead. However, a key stretch in the third quarter saw Chicago explode, hitting multiple threes in quick succession, extending a slim lead into double digits. “We knew they had firepower, but we didn’t execute our defensive rotations well enough to contain their shooters,” said Comets head coach Anya Petrova. “Credit to Chicago, they made us pay for every mistake.” The Comets fought until the end, showcasing their resilience, but the Wolves’ offensive onslaught proved too much to overcome. “We trusted each other and moved the ball. When we play like this, we’re a tough out,” commented Li Wang after the game. Key Notes:
