Walker and Skye Lead Dynamos' Offensive Barrage in Victory Over Fog
DETROIT – The Detroit Dynamos lit up their home court Thursday night, cruising to a dominant 125-112 victory over the San Francisco Fog. Fueled by a scorching perimeter attack and exceptional ball movement, Detroit secured a crucial win, showcasing their offensive firepower against a resilient Fog squad.
The game was a back-and-forth affair in the early stages, with both teams trading blows. However, the Dynamos began to pull away in the second quarter, thanks in large part to the stellar play of Max Walker. Walker, who finished with 13 points and 5 assists, orchestrated the offense with precision, finding open teammates and knocking down crucial three-pointers. A steal by Walker directly led to a fastbreak opportunity that ignited the crowd and swung momentum firmly in Detroit’s favor.
Elara Skye was a scoring force for the Dynamos, pouring in a game-high 19 points on efficient shooting. Her ability to attack the basket and finish through contact proved difficult for the Fog defense.

Despite their efforts, the Fog couldn’t match Detroit’s offensive output, particularly from beyond the arc, where the Dynamos shot an impressive 50%.
“We knew they could shoot the ball, and tonight they really showed it,” commented Fog coach Anya Morozova. “We made some defensive lapses that cost us, and Detroit capitalized.”
