in for two rookie team a season to go wiom hits the brakes she said they're sprinting to her on the Block so make sure to see that extra pass out of the break with Gabby Williams in as di Smith connects inside the AR a little bit and and it'll help with the drive and it makes it difficult for a negative score inside because she's surrounded by three people to go against on the offense triple she's now 0 for two but the storm has the switch boner Rises and is fouled commits the foul deep east but you're actually hitting her on the arm because you're just and Seattle has challenged the call

caused 12 Sun everybody fighting right Phoenix would be back of the E spot no one has been eliminated yet no one [Applause] is some games are just about first right now in Dallas boner is after Connecticut made its run Lloyd absorbs contact no whistle 12 of 23 still a 50% clip Carrington blocks Lloyd quarter she threw her off with the head fake that shot it really on the court from Kobe so it's Rea Thomas shielder going away you are are surprising me right now especially with the game I think the one thing that was been working for Connecticut [Music] all honor goes one for two Jordan hon back door to lyd they congratulating her on some of the plays that they ran as Bri Jones gets whatever the team needs from her but the reason why she's been a force inside the was before the game we have to get her more touches mayy had the initial stop footwork great footwork and great body positioning hon has been a plus Off the Bench for the storm Lloyd again off ball kind of being a playmaker but then she's just making plays cutting off the bat this is where you see where she can can do some things without the without the ball and make plays that makes recording N9 Sunday contact away from the ball she knows how to win and will do whatever it takes now they have number and Jones Rams into magma going to be a charge or if it was going to be a block but as a remind they both didn't know once another look at this eie mag bagore foul I mean I both teams will be done with challenges I understand using the challenge right now back to the drawing board back to the is that

on Ma and Drew a whistle [Applause] positive energy we just need to be sharper we've done this before they started one and three from the month of May into the middle of June patience right as Di and

nice it's a balanced attack tonight for Seattle 14 The League last year gave birth to her second child they playing at is pretty impressive Aris just cut it off and it grazes Shifty move by diin Smith but lost it CR Court boner drills it a trade really good ball pressure on that Connecticut this season is just two and six to the basket got a jump ball so many great players on the court right now

High Thomas on D offensive foul boner switches back to the [Music] [Applause] right Gabby will Jones fre Jones two nights 26 on Sunday Smith spinning to her strong side BS it home boner catches power

the highlight real plays of her season which [Applause] had Williams Pinger step Bri Jones over to help got a piece of her F in her five games played oh this is still a healthy dose of time points for ma she was in some foul trouble so was difficult for Connecticut based on how Seattle has guarded them well especially not high picking rolls High picking rolls and getting her to the quick down low for two maybe plus one both of them with 20 plus points guys Stephanie white emphasized the defense she said we need to score and stop but all skip it oh no Harris not going to boner but I think Harris at the free throw line shooting that shooting that same shot just four of 14 29% from three-point lands yeah my apologies in Del ly they try but they call a foul has made the the only person there behind [Applause] ISS Stormer all over Lloyd and gives the F from the outside looking in based on I think most fans of the league would agree and this this is a great win for Seattle a very this is a very good good win for them pace Vegas no question the favorite in that game shortened amount of teams everyone you get uh-oh they're just a two games back that was a great play down to
