turn around that one doesn't go and Joiner home like this a couple times against Dallas that one's Off the Mark you Joiner and Joiner gets the first one to roll and how about available for the game today so uh yeah niik mues maybe this is the day for number one to get her first WNBA kick back three ball on the way and good man from the three-point line but efficient but she gets so many buckets in the Middle Tennessee teammate Jordan hon dumping it low to another tennessy with you for some afternoon basketball Mercedes Russell tries to keep it alive Vivien feeds Mercedes inside that is team more nurse gets free in and out snatched down by Joiner Holmes she's on the there's Vivians now she'll take a long three puts it back up oh can't get it to go and Seattle your first points there on an offensive rebound and good hustle grabbing that Ria Jackson loses handle of it here comes hon tees it up three bomb away in and out good look though real good look danger field shaking Bank spin she puts it up with the left what are you going to do there I me yeah mer the defense obviously scattered after the Miss mer Jo on a summer weekend Sky sweeping go spin move how nice is that couldn't get it to finish just losing the defender had a couple of bunnies easily be 14 15o lead but Odyssey Sims into the lane unabated and there's a foul coming over the top by the looks on her face she's going hard at Key and nurse that's got to be for her to pick up Skyler diin Smith who felt like she was fouled took some contact for Gabby Williams gets it off the NECA spin moving of beauty 17 double digit lead again boy there's some been some highlight gorgeous for NECA oh good move the other way strong drive and take they got to find a way to make her pull up Corner jump shot by J the long no three ball Sims attacks again and boy that's been their yeah she was very good in the last game 16 points made it eight hit one in this exact spot earlier this one doesn't go I don't know if they'll officially give her a steal on that or not Alters that shot feed oh a little bit too far though was the right idea and and a off the ground today just up there quickly good Rotation by hon skip pass and that Rotation by hor jab steps and goes right to the glass and okay with the leverage getting into the body a a Stevens shot blocked oh they're going to call the F three games the Seattle Storm nine and six against every other team but you you mentioned 21 it's the first matchup with the storm and that one's Off the Mark by Vivians Oh overplay by Gabby Williams that looked like a lot of basketball one two right around hon and scores yeah too many straight line drives tough to get your weak side help there when it's coming from the top they're going to have to squeeze FPS it up from 15 and good and Gabby Williams she's found her stroke took her a few games just to get comfortable here in Seattle oh back door cut is Hami and the scoop P the free throw as it's a second delay of game for the technical nonetheless it caused the delay of game good back to work CAU Jordan hon how about the find by Skyler ball just beating the defender to the spot on 15 made field goals that ball is blocked by Skyler lob it over the top Victoria Viv is kind of over the and Vegas 37 a Seattle win and a Tuesday night that will be fun if we can get that scenario to play after the missing kick back Victoria and a 3 second violation it's a luxury for Seattle to get extra points on the board they're the number one throws in a row that is a season High prior to that was 20 here's hon with it three ball good look that's little bit long but gum three ball Jackson that's off the heel good get the basketball and goes into the hands of deer for the layup out but a weird tip and she's able to snag it had to show up today with the absence of juwel Lloyd and first player in double figures for either team she is just automatic good screen by Stevens 15-footer Ria no oh no B just raised her hand to her teammates well de Hami needed to hit that shot open Gabby Williams right to the window and one a a half that one's off backing in Fade Away jump shot so pretty just got a beautiful looking mid-range game never looks like good no look pass inside the neck a lot of body they she does not get ripped she can get bumped and still finished killer last week no good there's Jordan hon again you're right di Smith thinks about it got an opportunity now screen from Holmes o got pass there Stevens running in right at Skyler diing Smith buero Smith good rotation that one's off well give La credit I mean there's been kept it to a around 10 but they throw it away here another Live Points Gabby floater with the right hand again on you just love the fact that she's under control and I love seeing Jordan hor play the same position but due to the injury to ju Lloyd and pretty good save to Hami and put it up and in between game and shot clock out a second all the way how about the first with the right hand a little English on it gets it over the timeline with two with one got to get it up for Mid Cori doors 11,301 today season and the average of 11,020 is the highest execution out of the time out for half time high to hamy she keeps it high and lays it up and in nicely done there didn't really feel any pressure vers four Seattle thus far in fact that's just the fourth and Mercedes R nean Skyler Diggins Foria Jackson from the weak side score it much like Jordan hon did a few times in the first half Samy catch and shoot that one's Off the Mark but she hustles down back 12-point lead for the storm here help by Mercedes Russell and she pulls down the rebound she can secure it cambi with a left hand and she'll go to the free throw line for two shot reactor out of the intermission got to get the motor Revan again McDonald Cameron Brink laser Claren and all out that's 30 points 11 assist missing 31 points and 12 and a half boards right there here's Whit with it step back can't get it to go a little short good ball movement great looking shot by Skyler dick Whit come on the assist there for deer handy nothing Gabby could do after she made that catch Gabby Williams great ball movement that one doesn't go good possession but the defense closed quickly scyler Diggin touch pass Gabby Williams in the corner snaps it home shooting was so everything here at climate play and the defense has to respect Sammy whitcom they half the point makes hamy tough drive on NECA and scores and she'll go to the free throw get a little bit of everything so how about hamy she had nine points at halftime and she's the player you knew that you were really going to have to focus on it's got to go down for Sammy that does but look at Gabby Williams bouncing in there season high for Gabby Williams thus far 18 points and Counting was able to score the second chance opportunity okay with three personal fouls Sammy whittam with two kept alive NECA puts it up and in and one 15-point lead biggest of the game was 16 on the shot clock for Hami and a good defense by S so everything Remains the Same that goes up Jackson misses that one and Asia Wilson 18 points on eight of 14 and they're just Midway through the third here they can match it with a two and that's exactly what they get we're going to get a tech the good news about that play is that Gabby Williams again just there barell trying to do the same thing and gets the foul on Jordan horse any type of you know claping your hands or something like that they're going to so you can't let the emotions get too hot and just they were very clean Jordan hon in there and they can't highest average per game all time 11,000,000 or so there's AUM you have a chance to sell out on the Run no good there but the tip back goes around the defense put back by Neca and NECA is now over 20 this season that Seattle's had two players score 20 or more Williams with 20 that one's no good tipped around cabby William couple possessions since the timeout turn step through nice move how about that from Jordan or her footwork jabbing at it and then just continuing with that pivot Bon's there the weak side defense has been really good from SE they're 19 and six they're well on their way to doing Holmes with feed s looked like a little push off there but no call that's T Odyssey Sims so strong in her upper pass into NECA that one's Off the Mark that'll getting good can she afford to leave neum on the bench and a miss call Jackson trying to capitalize and does it's a ball game sble calls an Angry Crowd but La has done a nice job check back in quick shot by Sammy Wickam there try to make it a one possession game air ball oh there Seattle dodging up Seattle has got to get back to the fundamentals of moving the basketball drives in with four floats it up and in Jordan hor playing up SIMs comes the other way can't get it to go dodging a bullet there was C has it step back tough shot back iron Jordan just out great energy Off the Bench today 11 points three B they out scor Seattle 10-1 at the line in the third and Jordan H against defense came to trap Skyler diin Smith she got rid of it quickly and after that and they never caught up to Jordan hon nurse o Sammy almost got the steal here's Hami three that one's no good Kia nurse post his T but extra pass nicely done shot blocked from behind I don't if they got the other way to step through lay it up and too strong it was Jordan hor the other way that one's no good in WNBA history they have 202 moves and pass the next up is Phoenix from 2014 elite in B Skyler di Smith gets it off the foot of over the top and he nurse running the other way Jordan tries to provide some got to be careful and Smith getting trapped getting a bucket the other way Odyssey very active recently and then they've turned it into points on the other end so there they got it from Mercedes Russell and she was fouled in the ax for the stretch run here oh good rebound Gabby William toss back to Gabby another turnover by Seattle and LA's had 10 in the first half only one in the entire second half and odyssey Sim both ends of the floor and for Skyler diin Smith just letting her get a breather it's 28 minutes already in this game for Skyler Di and Smith leading everybody got it to 156 as Gabby goes in and misses and they just never and we're at six right now make it four right Hami was able to pin and get the ball K and nurse they going to have to take another one bothered the ball handlers of Seattle here in the fourth quarter but looks because of it in transition can't be the shot that Noel oh Ria Jackson turns it over nice meca mid-range get in there and it does oh boy that used hamy working on Gabby Williams good defense by Gabby and four 10 right now plus minus Skyler a plus 17 Gabby Williams three on the way off the Mark just a bit Rush run very nicely done by La boy that was down the floor transition buckets have really hurt Seattle in the fourth quarter Abby inside the NECA and we got a whistle and a foul quickly good pass over the top Mercedes tries to get it to go can rebound the line nurse kind of hesitates for some reason maybe she didn't have the ball in her hand but here's Odyssey Sims gets it to go and we are T this one is this game has been dominated by Seattle was four Odyssey Sims is going to give La the lead out the turnovers a 16-3 la run first for the lead back Bingo Jordan play favor Jackson against hon former teammate the left oh spin move it a beauty couldn't get it to go oh my goodness the Finish not there on Tennessee tough shot over hon no and a great rebound by he says no I'm going in can't get it to go H and the first one by Gabby is good lead back and she does Seattle's defense was here with the crowd rising to their feet to come alive and get a Ste Tak Smith is foul and still go to the line for knocks it down nothing but net beautiful rotation in the league in clutch games they are 13 and seven the level of basketball and the confidence that you play with when you head in she was a problem in the first half and continues to be one made field goals the last time these two teams played
