  "account": "On Tuesday night, the Portland Fire clinched a 90-82 victory over the Golden State Valkyries, ending their season. Carla Leite sealed the win with key baskets in overtime. First, she scored the tiebreaking basket with 1:57 remaining, then she hit a crucial three-pointer with just 26.5 seconds left in overtime. Leite's performance helped the Fire end a four-game losing streak. Bridget Carleton led the Fire with 26 points, including five three-pointers, while Gabby Williams contributed 17 points for the Valkyries, who began the game with a 17-0 lead but saw their six-game winning streak end. The Fire ultimately secured the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.",
