Impact This was a nice bounce-back performance from Carleton, who was limited to 13 points on 4-for-10 shooting in Portland's season-opening loss to the Sky. Her 26 points accounted for a game-high, and she helped deliver the Fire their first win of the season.

Carleton appears to be a huge part of the expansion team's plans, and she could average double-digit points per game for the first time in her WNBA career if this type of usage continues.
