is so hard sa step back nowu and just lighting it up from downtown well yeah and and for space to shoot the three not only in val for the remainder of the quarter that Ball's tipped Jewel transition throws it up doesn't matter trip for the foul L I'm just telling you she gets fouled I think she 8% free throw shooting she crowd here in Seattle Sab through traffic and L game for Seattle came in at the last break here's juel just checked in and nice Hamilton has come out and really made a statement good the last two games off the bench she has a non-co in and out are going to their bench early they know they're in the part in the season Hamilton knocking over Sammy L finding space screen by Lloyd AUM spins to open space as screening fora I I love that look at the game W him with it fakes the pass she is fabulous 56 for three point per his last year was 4 seconds left no staying with it Shon Miss seted by State Farm a great crowd in Seattle with execution of these two teams you see the beauty of where this over the top nearly picked off L Hamilton now against team really puts the other team to the line they're they're one of the lowest it Gabby Williams circling around kicking it back two seconds left wi's got to throw it up and does gets WI a mismatch there when you got Wham down there guard Jo team defense and a lot of conjestion Gabby Williams going for 56 our score with New York the advant diing Smith the Lefty from 16 no good Jones with it back to Stewie three on the way making 11 right now it's at the three-point line know you're looking at at a turnover by Seattle and three in the corner knock it down taking two shots because of the turnovers there 0 for two diing Smith got to force it up does hit rebound Advantage right now for the New York Liberty as we got place right now yeah they're trying to find some solutions here and Quinn saying get back on defense especially transition defense find those guard to guard screens just do it because they're getting caught up on some of those guard to guard you've seen the efficiency there there's a reason that New York's sitting at the top passing team that's one of the pieces of their culture and when gave the side out to New York and he gets it back from sabali that one's Off the Mark to pick by gum Smith will attack and get it to go on a long close out Stewie the big one to no and try to close out long to her she has the ability to go over to e magore Corner shooter Victoria Viv she can shoot the three or she can get it to the from three-point range's Off the Mark by and hits love that tough points to deal with the three-point shooting that the Liberty is bringing at that done it since so she is not shooting the ball very often for shot attempt at the baset J Smith Fearless behind that category right now 72 coach Bon movement and creating the ability to finish from three they're staying in plays they're making New York score over top and Here Vivian good three-point shooter oh in and out diing Smith with the rip she gets it back she gets the amazingly good at causing deflections 82 run and two s going in on ju Lloyd has a size Advantage Miss and they're going to Seattle but we have a well you can see both teams competing drawn by D Lloyd and you just see the intensity good teams and and that's happening what they got to do defensively and it's Mor that is number one in the WNBA they have four so they're right on good Roll by hum knocks down they're already a plus seven they are up 10 battle creating what you just described which one will win there's going to be some UPS we'll get the official number in the second half I'm looking up I'm seeing a few very you know what I'm a music guy Mi climing [Applause] play Seattle keeping the aggressive defense hands everywhere over she brings movement she can knock down a three and there's a thordan attacking play Jones the fade away tough shot output up since the break 17 ends both teams W oh look at that feed coach oh with Nea back to LY oncu ly can she hit another one you movement you're using NECA as the penetrator but that boy you just count it and she was great Stewie working hard and watch that and I thought man there's not a better player in the world she got a touch here neesu working on diing Smith oh going auma with 1 second left misses that one one that is the most scored by you guys sputtered and how did you help turn things around well this is number one scoring team in the league so tonight got to push in the quarter like we did going into the third quarter the Liberty how I thought helps side we got a little spread out there and they were able to knock some transition defense and so in order to play like that we got to get stopped so see Adas forced eight turnovers six with the basketball they may not have been scoring consistently early but answered with a 16-2 run and that's why rash clock got to get it up and she does in that pick and roll situation you know and I think took a little bit off off balance good cut by Neca is a great athlete and she is in movement and the shot clock wide open as Vander can't get it to Jean Co Jones this time and feix for three sure play has been nothing short of outstanding she goes you know there's a lot of freedom you know in this league and i' the good catch by Gabby Williams to the corner diin Smith why not three on the way exactly what they want to do best and that includes Skyler and then they're also playing off of the crowd it is Electric in here and he mention mentioned multiple times with this New York Liberty team thanks here I can also speak to it bringing teams in here sing louville hosts the Seattle rain speaking of another coverage begins at 700 p.m. Eastern it's the national women's soccer storm up two and going to the window and make it get a great real estate another RI on both ends of the floor like Skyler di Smith well you got where she's coming off and and she is Crafty a take foul in New York so Skyler Diggins Smith will get a free stick in this one 19 points Stewie's got 20 20 with that free throw and now almost has 20 she'll Drive Baseline poke free gby well this is a team that's been on the road they they they have of their opponent's best efforts and in Seattle's doing it right they're also three and six one trailing after two quarters of play of it with the extended defensive Seattle's playing we don't have an official number yet but it is well made and how aggressive they've become and one of the ways to combat you operate at that free throw line Ste an example screen by gu di Smith going downhill throws it away so seven they can match or Eclipse that on this possession with seven on the shot clock she goes right to the window and can't get it to go kick it over Laney ham with Lloyd in her face that one's off first foul on Brianna [Applause] Stewart was so good for [Applause] [Music] France over now switch to Gabby Williams and foul two defending that's that three fouls on Gabby Williams Brianna puts up catch for in the shot clock gets a wide open look that's her first good you you'll see a very difficult team to defend the Seattle had him on the ropes G misses

juel Lloyd very strong Stewie tried to turn that corner and Lloyd with the screen Williams accelerates a little too strong and foul on Skyler Diggins foul you know there there's a couple stats that are just jumping out to flip it around Seattle one turnover still play out in the last part of the third quarter and in the fourth bounce pass Jones in the lane as he real factor in the basket area 18 points off the prior 11 that is the reason they are ahead uses it steps back 19f footer and snaps it h today B Smith tries to rip one up gets Pur dribble and a nice one by Laney Hamilton how about that move that was time miss Nine games the knee injury just came back on that stop just completely on balance janesu Moxy to make the right basketball play if you made it on the steal by Jew Jones free ball by yancu no good these are two teams going ated at a high level the season high for diin Smith is 29 game speed very very good right now used that screen created just a little wesu three on the way trying to create and she is fouled come back by New York she's got 11 points and six assists you can see both teams and they're both teams are fici they's going to challenge that in this game officials do you know some of the best officials we out and then they kind of relax and then right we kind of just move on together you know you're seeing Sabrina step up and this game I think in this 13 te is going to go we are tied eighth tie of the game WNBA game diin Smith tries to create no overturn the call to Seattle that's we're going to go in probably it's done three times Seattle needs to go 8 and2 to tie that record so in the year before at 26 and a WNBA title and had the opportunity to challenge but I like it moves long but that that's been a good addition to this game I'm sure they do here's Jesu oh just 41 back in the late second wow she came off over to Skyler diin Smith she's been hot all night that one doesn't go New York right there Caleb Bon walks with B Sabrina unesc setting the all-time record for most three's last two he set for into the corner gavi Williams at the buzzer line in that quarter seven of New York's points from the line J Lloyd against her former teammate right over the top of her no on the deck has to go over John ble is continuing to escalate and there's Gabby Williams from behind po the turnover and really the two differences in these game in this game code they're a plus 15 from behind the arch so those two stats back to cut a brilliant one by now they Trail by five skip pass jees got to take a 30-footer that one's Off the Mark run earlier by New York we've had a 16-2 run de to bander SLO and knocks it down make point lead biggest of the game was in the first half for New York that was 12 can't get by Laney Hamilton has to just fling it up does get you know she's done all the little things to help her team and SP it's a little bit she's at 23 right now yeah 15,800 in the regy and then a game against Las Vegas in August well said Sammy Wickham with it fading away and see he's always a great finisher talk about great finishers and by golly I'm a player there's no question is now if you do that to her she'll make you pay year to year tough F away jump a shot like that here's beish with it trying to get it down to block got to get rid of it th three on the way no high screen uses the NECA side of it gets fouled the strength she has she is a powerful player she's a takes a breath Lloyd was 16 now sers will see Dallas at Atlanta or Vegas at Connecticut had a fabulous time watching this one dick Bain Dan Hughes with again Stewie putting pressure on the NBA and this was the first team out of your M the New York Liberty and why not you know that it's not like they've been sitting at home practicing Floyd tries to rip it from unesc Step through HS it and doesn't need to get up she says I can auma big three needed for Seattle basketball Saina Sabrina very alert she is such a fine mover without the basketball SC with their fifth 30-point game Seattle unesc ly Hamilton there's only one rebounder in it was Nea wide open as Lany handleton so for a potential hostile act I love that phraseology ice. cancer.org lyd with it diing Smith driving in trying to one on a 162 run by virtue of plays like hands on it perfectly clean storm shooting 48% New York still yeah well just the back to Skyler Diggins least in the fourth quarter no question still time for Seattle for game because Vegas is leading Atlanta 81-72 so 10 more seconds on the shot clock the Seattle has to play defense here guarded by Dion Smith she will fire away that one the efficiency now is going to be really important you're talking about limited possessions viviant big three on the way that one they they don't foul so we got a little distance between the bonus Ste working on Vivian gives it up feish no himself back to Jewel three on the way no good oh that Stewie back Jones with one on the shot clock puts it up no good we're seeing playing out you know and that's that's a factor I Jones kicks it out Fe stagger on the way there it is her impact with Liber Lloyd working her way in that one's too stri stealing signs here's Jesu in on J lyd and Broncos right down the road at he was in Morgantown playing for the West got a new offensive coordinator and Ryan grub new head coach after the free throws Vivien gets the n on that finish you know both these teams are going to learn from this game this game with a little more knowledge of maybe what they want to do New York tonight coach tied for second most in any well it's a factor when you're when you're to overcome especially when they're shooting as well as they are in New York New York looks like they're going to go to third voy has it pump fakes fires it up no good oh they have not lost one game when they outshoot their OPP into the playoffs and uh there there against lyd right to the window and scoring up I I I thought that was big long Rondell and Noel
