At home, the Storm have a record of 2-4 in their last six games, while the Wings have been undefeated at home recently, with a home record of 7-0. The Wings' last five games have seen them average 92.6 points scored, indicating a potent offense that was on display once again in this contest.
In terms of injuries, the Storm were significantly affected, missing key players including Taina Mair, Zia Cooke, Katie Lou Samuelson, and Ezi Magbegor. The Wings also faced challenges with Alysha Clark, Alanna Smith, Azzi Fudd, and Costanza Verona all sidelined. The absence of these players undoubtedly impacted the dynamics of the game, particularly for the Storm, who struggled to field a competitive lineup.
