Portland Fire notch first win, edge New York Liberty on buzzer-beater‎

The Portland Fire are in the win column. The expansion squad — which revitalized an earlier iteration of the franchise that played in the WNBA from 2000 to 2002 — collected its first victory of the season Tuesday, beating the New York Liberty 98-96. Second-year guard Sarah Ashlee Barker had the game winner on a put-back as time expired, and pandemonium ensued. Sarah Ashlee Barker with the buzzer-beating putback for the Fire’s first-ever win.
