Fog Rolls Over Wardens 122-95; SF's Three-Point Barrage Too Much to Handle
San Francisco Unleashes Long-Range Assault in Dominant Road Victory
By Emily Carter
WASHINGTON D.C. – The San Francisco Fog ignited their offense from beyond the arc, raining down threes en route to a commanding 122-95 victory over the Washington Wardens on Saturday night. The Wardens struggled to find an answer for the Fog’s relentless perimeter attack, which proved to be the decisive factor in this Pro League matchup.
The game opened with a back-and-forth exchange, but the Fog began to pull away in the second quarter. San Francisco’s ability to consistently knock down three-pointers, coupled with sharp ball movement leading to open looks, created a significant scoring advantage. Washington, despite efforts from Aisha Bakari and Kenji Sato, couldn’t match the offensive firepower.
“We just couldn’t get stops, especially on the perimeter,” said a frustrated Wardens head coach. “Give credit to San Francisco, they shot the lights out tonight. We have to regroup and learn from this.”
The Fog’s dominance was a collective effort, with multiple players contributing offensively. Chen Wei and Patricio Rivera led the charge with 16 and 15 points respectively, but it was the sheer volume and accuracy of their three-point shooting that suffocated the Wardens.
“Our shot selection was good, and we trusted each other on offense,” commented Fog guard Isabella Aoki, who chipped in 11 points and dished out 4 assists. “When we move the ball like that and hit shots, we’re a tough team to beat.”
The Wardens showed flashes of resilience, with Bakari leading their scoring with 16 points and adding 5 assists, and Kenji Sato adding 9 points and a couple of defensive plays. However, San Francisco’s consistent offensive pressure and superior shooting efficiency ultimately proved insurmountable.
Key Notes:
- San Francisco shot an impressive 44.9% from three-point range (22-of-49).
- The Fog dished out 30 assists on 44 made field goals.
- Washington’s offense struggled to find a consistent rhythm, shooting just 24.2% from beyond the arc.
- Aisha Bakari led the Wardens with 16 points and 5 assists.
