>> SHE IS 511. IN HER SIXTH YEAR OUT OF NOTRE DAME. THIS IS HER FOURTH TEAM. STARTED WITH L.A, THEN DALLAS, CHICAGO AND BOY HAS SHE FOUND A HOME IN CONNECTICUT SHOOTING CLOSE TO 40% FROM THREE. THIS SEASON WAS JUST DYNAMIC IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER STARTED SLOW. IT'S PICKING UP STEAM. NAME A SPOT. SHE'S HIT ONE TONIGHT. WHAT A SHOOTER. >> 11 POINTS, THREE OF FOUR FROM THREE IN THIS QUARTER. SHE'S GOT 26 IN 20 SIX MINUTES. FIFTH TIME IN HER CAREER SHE'S HIT SIX THREE POINTERS TYING HER CAREER HIGH. CHARLES BARKLEY. AND SHE SINGLE HANDEDLY HAS BEEN THE DIFFERENCE HERE TONIGHT. STEVENS STRAIGHT AWAY THREE BACK HEEL REBOUND LEE IN TRAFFIC KICKS IT OUT. DANGERFIELD A DEEP THREE. AND KRYSTAL ABLE TO KNOCK IT DOWN. SO WE SEE A LINEUP WITH DANGERFIELD AND SIMS IN THERE TOGETHER. MARY DON'T SEE THAT OFTEN. HERE'S STEVENS. OH SHE COULDN'T GET THE LAYUP. TWO MINUTES REMAINING IN REGULATION. >> TWO. >> CAN YOU THINK ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT SEATTLE IN TOWN. THEY HAVE NOT PLAYED SINCE SATURDAY. LA HAS PLAYED TWO GAMES SINCE THEN. SATURDAY AT HOME. SEATTLE BEAT PHOENIX 90 TO 66. SO WHILE LA PLAYS TONIGHT, SEATTLE WATCHES FROM LOS ANGELES. >> STEVENS NOW WITH A CAREER HIGH 16 REBOUNDS HERE TONIGHT. LOOK AT THIS SEATTLE TEAM IN FIFTH. THEY'RE A GAME BEHIND VEGAS FOR THAT FOURTH SPOT. DUVAL FROM THE CORNER. WELL SHORT AND A REBOUND TO DANGERFIELD. >> AND IT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES FOR LOS ANGELES. THEY ARE PLAYING TEAMS THAT ARE PLAYING FOR SOMETHING. THIS CONNECTICUT SUN SUN TEAM WANTS TO MOVE UP. THEY WANT TO GET MORE HOME COURT ADVANTAGE. SEATTLE THEY WANT A TOP FOUR SPOT. THESE ARE IMPORTANT GAMES TO THESE TEAMS. AND THEY'RE PLAYING LIKE IT. >> WELL RESTED SEATTLE TEAM AS YOU MENTIONED PROBABLY AT THE HOTEL WATCHING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW KNOWING THEY HAVE THESE SPARKS RIGHT HERE ON THIS FLOOR TOMORROW. COOK THE JUMPER OVER BICKEL AND ZIA COOKE WITH THE FALL AWAY. SHE'S GOT 7 IN 9 MINUTES OFF THE BENCH. HYLAND. DUVAL TRYING TO GO HIGH. LOW TO NELSON-ODODA. TOUGH CATCH IN TRAFFIC. AND THE WRAP AROUND THERE IS GOOD BY OLIVIA NELSON-ODODA. >> SHE'S HAVING A NICE GAME. EIGHT POINTS IN 13 MINUTES. PERFECT. FROM THE FLOOR TONIGHT. >> DANGERFIELD PICKS UP HER DRIBBLE OVER TO SIMMS. DEEP THREE FROM DANGERFIELD. AND THAT ONE ROLLS IN. >> THREE. DANGERFIELD. >> SO DANGERFIELD IN DOUBLE FIGURES NOW WITH 11. THAT'S HER THIRD THREE POINTER. IT'S BEEN A TOUGH NIGHT FOR THE SPARKS. CAITLIN BICKEL OUT OF BAYLOR FOR THREE. AND ANOTHER REBOUND THERE FOR STEVENS. THAT'LL BE 17 FOR HER AS SHE IMPROVES ON A CAREER HIGH NIGHT. >> TONIGHT WHERE CONNECTICUT JUST TOOK THE TURNOVERS FROM LA AND TOOK ADVANTAGE. >> NINTH TIME THIS SEASON THE SUN HAVE HELD AN OPPONENT UNDER 70. HOW ABOUT THAT TENACIOUS DEFENSE ONCE AGAIN FOR THE SUN AS THIS ONE HAS GONE. FINAL 8666 CONNECTICUT IMPROVING TO 26 AND TEN ON THE SEASON. SPARKS FALLING DOWN TO SEVEN AND 29. >> MINNESOTA SITS AT 27 AND NINE. SEPTEMBER 11TH, CARUSO DUBOIS. >> OUR DIRECTOR MARK SHAW, OUR PRODUCER. HE'S GOING TO DO IT FOR THIS ONE. CONNECTICUT BY 20. 8666 FOR MARY MURPHY, NIKKI KAYE AND THE REST OF OUR FANTASTIC CREW. I'M RASHAWN HALLOCK SAYING SO LONG. SEE YOU TOMORROW. DON'T MISS OUR NEXT TELECAST.
