Phantoms Unleash Offensive Barrage, Stifle Wolves in 121-91 Rout
Davies Explodes for 29, Phantoms Cruise Past Wolves
CHICAGO – The Philadelphia Phantoms delivered a dominant offensive performance, overwhelming the Chicago Wolves with a relentless attack to secure a resounding 121-91 victory on Thursday night. After a closely contested first quarter, the Phantoms’ superior shooting and ball movement proved too much for the Wolves, who struggled to find consistent scoring rhythm.
Philadelphia set the tone early, with Aaron Davies leading the charge. The Phantoms built a slim lead in the opening frame, but it was their explosive second quarter that truly swung the momentum. Davies poured in 16 of his game-high 29 points in the first half, fueling a 15-point run that put the visitors firmly in control.
The Wolves, led by Julian Santos (15 points, 7 rebounds) and Li Wang (12 points, 7 rebounds), fought back with flashes of their own, including a three-pointer from Wang that briefly stemmed the tide. However, Philadelphia’s balanced attack and exceptional ball security, highlighted by 31 assists and only 8 turnovers, kept Chicago at bay.
Zara Sanchez was a force on the glass for the Phantoms, grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds to go with 14 points. Maya Singh chipped in 14 points and dished out 5 assists, showcasing the Phantoms’ depth. “We wanted to come in here and impose our will,” said Phantoms head coach David Lee. “I thought our guys executed the game plan beautifully, especially on the offensive end.”
Despite the lopsided score, Chicago coach Emily Carter found some positives. “We have to learn from games like this,” Carter stated. “We saw great effort from Julian and Li, but we need to find that consistency across the board. This is a tough lesson, but we’ll bounce back.”
