on CBS the Aces and Asia record set this yeara Teresa Weatherspoon told me that is at a whole new level on the other side win us a championship as greatest now Becky Hammond it told us it's son Tim Green Local tip here in Chicago which quick that's about moving happy belated birthday to yesterday Ang Wilson clears it for the aces still no scor 28 points per game sitting at just a shy of she's been up in that in that range all season long as Megan G cardoso soft hands gets the pass can't get the Finish trying to chase it down not come down gets a clean block Lind Allen works it over to Michaela on down thein traded to the Connecticut Sun Vegas opens up for five here to start and coacha to to 85 game before the allar Olympic break Taps it to herself 43 points in the paint per game is looking for their first field goal and drawing the foul as all rookies try to do once they turn pro just now sna an eight game stretch where she was at least 20 points not this year at least Carter drops it off th finishes with her off has to finish around the basket that one good Wilson to go work against Reese that one SES out Asia Wilson leaks out I was going to say if they can't get that one as their first field goal on from midrange not there but cardoso pursuing the boards another opportunity contact made gets to work with on the shot clock [Music] hesitation it's going to be really important that the aces can score and transition this game Z throw fast break points in their last one versus the Minnesota links Becky H kind of the mentor and the mentee we'll see each other oneone several times here today she's done a good job facilitating the teammates making wison work she gets that one and an and lunch and the mentor M connection between Wilson and Reese Emily proud day will be all love between the mutual respect on and off the court but all competitors when these two hit the court and here in the first quarter kick out touch pass Asia Wilson thought about that three-pointer to pull it she take about the 17-footer instead and that works the floor she knows cardoso doesn't want to come outside the paint cardoso paint touch spinning off of Stokes off the aces to begin with it's what you had talked about ice it can't be all Asia for the aces to have success here this year recognizing more when to call her own number when she needs to score the and really impressed with her leadership too involved in that Connecticut Sun tray a look for Alicia Clark not there Clark working on extending her jump shot I thought her mid-range jump shots especially off her face up game has looked good really good off ball cut there from Kelsey first breather we mentioned briah Jefferson checking in Dana Evans also checking in for the first time for the sky carosa wanted a bow there thought she got hit as she was shooting the floater Asia Wilson crosses over cardos six now to shoot Evans jabad takes a peek at the shot clock a little Runner off the glass too strong numbers supporting the sky here's Mariah Jefferson trying to find Reese poked away it'll be Ace's basketball one to two baskets one to two minutes one to two drops from making it rain nice action there off ball and just four field goals here for the aces to begin with about 90 seconds left to play here in the Cor was in trouble wrapped up by a couple of acases players having a couple of games to the links and what they need to me is perimeter defense and Tiffany Hayes brings that Jefferson had to put it up the shot clock was at one look at it Onan gets a look and makes good on it players playing with confidence and allowing them to be themselves Asia Wilson again this is the other here is Tiffany Hayes thinks about at eight to shoot she pull the trigger from three Evans using the cardoso screen three to shoot Evans penetrates into the lane can't get it to drop plenty review it but along two with a foot on the line and maybe some momentum for the aces headed into the second players came up with was inconsistent yeah I mean I think if we're looking at a team who has won back to back I agree with inconsistent but the great thing is you know that they're capable right you know that this Core Group can make it happen as Clark knocks down a much needed three it looks like they were getting to change it to a three so that's where we stand here at the beginning of the second quarter Izzy Harrison off the a few family members and friends in attendance for Martin H good defense there by Chelsea Gray just one-on-one stopping the ball forcing a tough shot and then that's this is what the aces need more of at the rest of the games for more on these games you can go to wnba.com or visit the WNBA app Jefferson in and out one of her goals is to come back healthier she missed the first 12 games of the season and and to it on the floor Jefferson rains yeah there's got to be more off ball movement once the ball goes into the post good take by Harrison better defense though from Jefferson the two Connecticut Sun players that came to Chicago in the marina ma trade Asia Wilson they're looking to post up Bantam once again though and she's picked up a couple of quick fouls the post up Clark against banam and now so missed her a Tong when she was out with a foot injury the first 12 games of the Season plus was Showtime plan only it's gra sing that lost for about a month's time Clark is a right back to graay spinning off the defender can't get it off to Wilson beautifully done beautifully executed the AC's first lead of the game yeah one teams get better right they Scout better Kelsey Plum told us that teams have adjusted to them they're playing them on top of the fact that they this team did not start the season off healthy Kelsea gray was missing due to an injury they were without their main point guard so they've had to go through first personal yeah the aces one and three the one of the best drivers and penetrators in Wilson against Reese spins it pops out single digits on the shot clock Carter calls tough shots can heat up in a second here for the sky has proven that she can do that so bam chases it down Carter hesitation looks to split the defense a hard foul [Music] first right now a common f for a possible upgrade also we're looking for a [Music] fla over calling the floor stands is a common foul foul will be charged Carter at the foul line it is important game prior to or after that game that she commits a a possible fifth flagrant one not stress enough about how competitive and how physical the WNBA has always been from year one absolutely half that deep Jackie Young no points in the first half for the Aces and again a corner shot it's a [Music] Clark pulls up in the lane I'm sorry Lindsay Allen pulls up in the lane Wilson again shoulder Shake can't get the buck hit that was half of the AC's field goal attempts at 36 with another bucket and great job in different spaces again because you cannot rely on just Asia to score and rebound and do everything and I thought tip Hayes has brought in someone directing traffic with PL Young and Clark in the backourt plum will take it good aggression there offensively quick pull and Reese keeps it alive for Chicago Angel Reese already with eight rebounds always done credits the fact she can be ambidextrious Rebound with both hands Carter gets a look catch and fire here in the second quarter yeah Carter had a focus pregame our conversation with us gets wrapped up a little bit Hayes defensively making that one tough against Allen over to gray three poter on the way not there it's a good look though good C all of that [Applause] oh and then does it both ways Carter clar's in the lead gives it up Corner shot Allen with three on the shot clock Hier arching shot not there it has been entertaining here in this first half three lead changes a couple of [Music] [Music] ties [Music] foree foreign [Music] [Music] foree [Music] fore [Music] spee fore [Music] [Music] [Music] spe [Music] fore [Music] fore for [Music]
