feel it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] thanks for joining us I'm Blake suniga here with Brian batmi and Tim Schwarz and now we take a brief look at the matchups for our tip off coming moments from now and the trademark of both of these teams strong defense got to love it what will that mean for tonight's contest well the coach Coes will have a big role in a strength on strength matchup game planning takes on added importance and one more thing about these teams Brian I mean there is no shortage of effort now here's gray free throw line jumper it's rebounded by sabrini enescu I'm marking that one down I mean it's going to be a long time until we see her miss another one like that back to Vander slute to the right side six on the shot clock yancu misses yeah she didn't punish them for the weak coverage that time but they just can't count on her missing absolutely Brian she's got to go right back to that shot now here's gray this one for three that's a miss her second after two shots what you got to love about Stewie she's a Flatout winner at every single level yeah she led Connecticut to four consecutive national championships she's won multiple gold medals WNBA Finals MVP in 2018 and 2020 I mean what more can you ask for and Wilson gets it to go few players better than Wilson inside has a rare combo of touch and length plus the desire to beat you yancu outside that's good and So Courtney Evander gets the assist they can't afford to give her that kind of look well it came off a good screen but still as a Defender you have to fight over the top of it and you need some help as well now here's gray gets that one to fall after missing her first two one for three from the field and we're about two minutes into the first [Applause] quarter here's vandersloot outside Stewart off Target with the three now [Applause] gray lets it Fly again Las Vegas here's yancu here in the First with just under two and a half minutes played so far calini Hamilton Stewart with the screen from downtown Hamilton can't hit and they have certainly been looking locked in offensively they sure have staying aggressive and playing in control here's yancu count that one yeah you know contact can't slow yancu down she sticks with her inside shot and finishes strong Las Vegas trailing 2023 the Liberty made their long awaited return to the WNBA finals it's crazy to think about it guys but that was their first trip to the finals in 21 years and despite it being the Liberty's fifth finals appearance still no titles incredible when you think this is an original WNBA franchise in the amount of stars and Hall of Famers they've had over the years now here's Laney Hamilton pass to Jones here here zop touch off the glass great job by Jones so good at gaining ideal positioning and [Music] capitalizing now here's Plum looking for a first basket still in this one here's Young and the play stops whistle on what looks like an illegal screen well I just think an illegal screen it's one of the toughest calls for an official to make yeah you have to appreciate how difficult job they have to do when it comes to making calls like that it's not as easy as people might think and the refs in this league just do a great job now here is ycu he has five let's go with a three connects from three-point range such a quick release on unesc shot and her accuracy from deep is great as well and here's Plum to stop the run knocks down the three ball right back at you they immediately get those three points back just trading punches from long range been a heavyweight fight now here's Lany Hamilton enescu up top lets it go from Deep the rebound by Asia [Applause] Wilson Alicia Clark on the wing covered by thoron pass to Gray now here's Plum and a miss there on the triple janesu outside and a great assist by Brianna Stewart as that one goes in deep into her bag yancu Elite with the [Applause] rock Plum with it one second left the long distance three is buried a good close contest so far as we finish the first quarter it's the Liberty Leading by three and the second quarter is on the way when we return and the second quarter getting underway no team gaining an edge so far and taking a look at the Liberty performance here guys what are your thoughts the ball movement from them in the first half absolutely terrific very timely passing from them and that's fun to [Applause] watch New York in the lead pass to sabali and here's B the three it's all in by the aces you can't get into much better position for the three-pointer just didn't get it to fall outside [Music] Plum guson with it out to the wing shot pockets six Plum can't hit that's a shoot around jumper absolutely no excuses for missing it Gorton outside pass to Burke puts one up from 19 and good coming off the assist by CA thoron and thoron is such a smart player recognizes over commitments from the defense and gets it to her open teammates here's Clark takes the three doesn't go that [Applause] time here's Jones yancu Pass to sabali one with the rebound and it's the aces with the ball it's a five-point game and here's Martin to the inside now gustaffson still getting warmed up offensively no buckets yet in the game for her here's Martin drains the three-pointer founded back in 2021 the commissioner cup has been an awesome addition to the WNBA season Brian oh we all have loved it it brings extra excitement to the schedule so much so that the NBA adopted their own version of it yeah it's been great in the NBA and what I love about it we get a final way before the final so you get a tase to postseason pressure a lot earlier now here's Plum she's got six pass to gustaffson shoots over Jones Guston can't hit as far as you know a jumper will go that's as high percentage as it gets seriously I don't know how that one didn't fall a shot by Thorton no good and here are the aces now trailing by four here's Bell covered by thoron down low here's Plum collects the two points near the hoop what effort from Plum down in the paint outworking the defense and getting a shot and what's great about the aces is that they predominantly use the draft to build their title teams and they got a little lucky they won three straight lotteries in 2017 18 and 19 that yields them Kelsey Plum Jackie young Asia Wilson the core of their Championship squads now here's Plum she's got eight pass to Guston Martin now here's Plum offline with a three you don't want to give up that kind of look often they're very lucky they didn't get burnt and here's B [Music] and the Liberty getting another bucket right there and it's the aces with the ball outside Plum for three and it's Kelsey Plum again missing yancu outside now pass to thoron here's [Applause] bur inside here's yancu the shots good on the assist by johnwell Jones what a scoring display we're seeing from yonescu right now putting her expansive offensive skill set on full display here's Bell back to Plum pass to Martin Plum up top gusterson hits the jumper in space quality display of Court vision from Flor her team is simply better when she's out on the floor now here is yonescu 16 points for her 3 second difference between the shot clock and the game clock takes the three and she's good on the three ball her stroke has been dead on inside out side wherever the shots are falling for her here's Plum and count it two points with a chance for one more at the line clever play by Plum going right into the defense to draw a foul and get the n one opportunity she's getting her first free throw attempt of the game [Applause] here behind the lanes behind the lanes one [Applause] shot here's yancu 19 points in the game with the shot misses the Deep three-point attempt and that does it for the first half of play it's the Liberty up by six and time now for the halftime break with the third quarter soon to follow on 2K sports [Applause] [Music] and now the start of the second half neither side jumping out ahead through the first two quarters and you look at Sabrina yancu in this game and she's been everywhere she was successful just about every time she drove the lane in the first half she was on a mission it really was you know aggressive attacking basketball at its very very best is what we just saw just so fun to watch we love [Applause] it New York leading well New York won that 2020 Lottery and their prize man it was a great one Sabrina yonescu well she was the first piece right and she endured some tough times but her talent and overall play helped the ra Brianna Stewart John quell Jones and other key players now here's gray pass to plump back to gray fires from Deep barries the long range jumper a new age point guard gray doesn't just handle the ball and pass the ball she also hits it from Deep at a crazy rate here's vandero she he's been patient so far nothing yet on the scoreboard Rihanna Stewart from outside it's rebounded by [Applause] Young outside Plum second half of basketball just over a minute played so far again Las Vegas and this is the challenge of Defending such a gifted scorer like Kelsey Plum if you don't give her shots she's going to find them Liberty call time here and the 2024 rookie class absolutely loaded but what is your favorite pick from that draft I'm going second overall with Cameron Brink she's just a force an elite shop blocker maybe one of the best shop blockers in the league from day one that defense is special plus she got a great offensive game and I'm going with the easy answer Caitlyn Clark her presence is already changing this league both on and off the floor that's the breakers get [Applause] noise on defense the aces they haven't given up any points here in the second [Applause] half yancu outside five to shoot three-pointer the rebound by Asia Wilson just like me nine times out of 10 she's going to bury the three when she's left all alone like that pass to Young for the lead good and it's Chelsea Gray who picks up the assist oh usually she's providing the pass young has to be happy to be on the receiving end of a catch and shoot more than willing to fire guys for Asia Wilson She's Always a fact night in and night out well when you're a multiple time MVP us and the fans expect that there's no doubt she cemented herself as one of the best players of this generation Wilson outside pass to Young gray three-pointer Kelsey Plum and Jones pulls it down you can tell she thought that triple was going to fall she's just shaking her head after that Miss here's yancu that one drops for Never Scared to score near the hoop ycu has a really impressive touch inside here's Las [Applause] Vegas now here's Plum she's got 13 and they call on a legal screen here sometimes the intensity of a close game can lead to bonehead plays like that one guys [Applause] and here's yancu watch watch she's got 21 outside Laney Hamilton two minutes remaining in the third two minutes left side Stewart the kick out to unesc clock at four hits the three-point bomb a shot that looks almost automatic for yonescu has total confidence in her shooting ability pass to Wilson and here is Stokes kicks it out to Plum now here's [Applause] gray now Wilson launches a three brings it from Beyond the AR a three-pointer is certainly not a huge part of Wilson's game but if you give Asia a look I mean she can knock down those trays New York calls timeout and no breaker get through [Music] [Music] Liberty making a switch here [Applause] we've gone about three and a half minutes into the third now well you look at the run the aces her on you think we can call them a dynasty over the last four years they have three trips to the finals and two championships now I think the coming seasons will determined if they are officially a dynasty but they're definitely on that path now here's Gray she's got seven pass to Stokes Wilson it's rebounded by sabrini and ESU we don't see that too often plenty of space and she whiffs on an open [Music] jumper and here is Stewart she's guarded by Plum and it's bana Stewart with the three give her an inch stey will just knock those down so quick with her release gray with it pass to Young from outside the AR yes great play by Chelsea gr to set it up oh some quick uh retaliation right there huh guys yeah sure didn't take him long to go and get those three points [Applause] [Music] back yancu outside to the wing on the left clock at six here's dodic Kish tried to answer back but that three is Off the Mark here's young Wilson up and in on the layup that's just run-of-the-mill for her she's one of the more skilled offensive players out there it's still anybody's game as we reach the end of Three Aces ahead up two and coming up as soon as we return from the break the fourth quarter gets underway [Applause] [Applause] okay fourth quarter of action getting underway we've had a great one with both sides coming to play so far the aces with the lead here's Plum to the middle the G down low Steward's there out of bounds it will go to the liberty liberty ball into the line for New York number 13 Leone [Applause] feish here's Vander [Applause] Sloop yancu outside and out of bounds the aces will take it V AC number two Kennedy [Applause] ver and the aces with possession the lead is two pass to gustaffson [Applause] and it's Brianna Stewart with the rebound credit the D there got in her face got her hands up made sure she was not comfortable on the release yeah stayed very tight on her didn't allow her the space she needed to get a good shot off I I just love that effort well neither team having much trouble putting the ball in the basket not at all both teams content to just try to outscore each other makes for a fun game now here's young to the paint Vader on the way that one good for two neither team here in the fourth gener raing a lot of Separation yeah it's been a close one five times the lead is Switched Dan Anders salute outside pass to thoron the three rebound by the aces personally I am shocked that didn't turn into three points she makes you pay on those nearly every time hey back to [Applause] Young out to gray just three to shoot offt Target from three point range yeah the great Shooters they know when they've got enough opening to go for the three I didn't think it was a bad choice there yeah not very good defensive coverage that time but he got lucky yancu misses just a tiny lead for them a chance to make it a little bigger right here though pass to Guston and here is gray stren by Guston yes great play by Chelsea gr has set it up makes great decisions and quick reads off of ball screens gray is a gifted point guard time out call to Liberty they want to Tinker with the game plan a little bit and Now's the Time to do it yeah there was clearly some things going on out there that the coaching staff just wasn't a fan of [Music] [Music] [Applause] bre Jones with it now young defending shot from the wing and all around the rim that time before dropping in a great feel for when the team needs a big play Jones is a timely and dependable scorer to the inside Rihanna Stewart with the steal oh and the fast break for the Liberty here's yancu and a great assist by Brianna Stewart as that one goes in what a huge basket yancu is at her best in the game's biggest moments pass to Wilson over Stewart Wilson no good shocking Miss that's one of her favorite spots on the floor now yonescu she's guarded by [Applause] Plum yancu outside but three pointer Is On Target it's easier to find success in the pick and roll game when you have the kind of High basketball IQ unesc has inside and they get it here's Wilson laid in with a nice touch off the glass as big time a player as you'll ever see AEL Wilson in the crutch now yanu Bey on the arc that shot missing it's stolen by Stewart pass toescu watches it laces one from three talk about coming up clutch how about unesc sinking the huge shot timeout called the aces [Music] for [Applause] come [Music] [Applause] onise and the AC all time here yeah you're great [Applause] [Applause] now here's young to the middle here's Wilson it's good what a beautiful shot to bring them within three ice water in her veins everyone in the building knew that Asia Wilson was going to take it and make it serini and escu from outside [Applause] Jones inside Stokes with the rebound great defense right there to prevent one of the best finishers in the league from converting in close it's two seconds separating the shot clock and the game clock outside Plum burries the triple wow oh that is an enormous three-pointer and the Liberty call time here and here's yancu from Deep misses the tray now a timeout called by Las Vegas [Applause] El see Plum from outside oh couldn't sink the shot and we're going to overtime time expires and we're going to overtime baby hold tight we've got more basketball action headed your way [Music] well if you love great competition and neck and neck basketball action this has been a great game overtime one getting going here right [Applause] now maners slute with it yancu outside the pick by Jones there's the three out to Vander Sloop yancu pass to Jones out of bounds it'll be AC's ball that is such a careless pass you got to keep your head in the game [Applause] here's Plum well we know not every team in the league is a title Contender so what's the key for teams in the rebuilding process Brian your scouting Department really matters because if you're a losing team your draft picks whether first or second round will play yeah and I'll throw in luck as well I mean those pingpong balls going your way winning the the lottery getting the first overall piit if you had an Wilson aiah Boston and when you add a player of that value that can change your fortunes pretty quickly here's Stokes Wilson defended by Stewart Fades back and it's Wilson missing New York [Applause] leading yancu left side passander [Applause] SL right side Stewart out to the wing three-pointer Sabrina unesc good and bana Stewart gets the assist it's nice to see Elite scorers like Stewart create for others because despite her skill set she understands it's a team game now here's gray here's Wilson good work defensively by Brianna Stewart on offense here the Liberty they're big biggest lead of the game was [Applause] nine right side back to enescu just five on the clock pass to vand Loop there's the triple a rebound by Gray [Applause] outside Plum the aces with another Miss even without that three ball dropping for her the defense should have done way more on that last play yeah I mean the D's got to be better as a coach you can't stand seeing her having that much space to get her shot off and that's an intentional foul kelse first personal foul second te shoot [Applause] two she drops the first one and that increases their lead to six well Vander salutes coaches have to appreciate the confidence she instills in her teammates she's a a playmaker in just about every sense of the word and the second free throw no good a tough break there absolutely critical chance right here and they need this to go their way 6 seconds separating the shot and game clock here's gra and that one goes in as she's fouled it'll be three points if she can convert the free throw [Applause] sh a dead eye outside shooter Gray's confidence on the offensive end is what makes her so dangerous and now they foul and stop the clock that's right no other option but to foul and you know just hope for some misses yeah they have to extend the game and use every last second on that clock good on the first and that gives them a four-point [Applause] cushion second one is good getting both at the line and it's a five-point gain outstanding work at the foul line to make this a two possession game and the aces call time here quick bucket than foul it's the really the only option they have at this point and the important thing to is who they foul they don't want to send an ace to the line if they can avoid it exactly Brian find the worst free throw shooter [Applause] immediately here's gray to the left side [Applause] Wing left side Plum the treay the rebound by the Liber and so they foul intentionally second personal foul fourth team [Applause] foul take a break take a break two shots [Applause] she doesn't hit the first and that was one they really wanted he's got one more though and not just an incredible Talent Stewart is also a winner someone you build your entire franchise that's good going one of two from the line and that increases their lead to six timeout called the aces yeah I don't think a two-point basket does much good for them here yeah I think that's their only choice a three and then a foul just left time left [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] your Breakers Dan crew [Applause] three-pointer Jackie young knocks down the three defensive breakdown you know they didn't play him close enough on the inbound and gave up the Triple there timeout called The Liberty [Music] let's hear it we're almost [Applause] there and they're going to prolong the game with an intentional foul second personal foul [Applause] [Applause] 15 so the first one drops and that gives them a four-point cushion and she hits both free throws and it's a five-point gain now that's how you close a game out those free throws will bury them for sure and the aces call time here and what's your take guys this one is Out Of Reach and I really don't know what they're thinking with the timeout here neither do I I mean maybe they're going over their plans for after the game and in the meantime ruining our plans for after the game [Applause] [Applause] for [Applause] [Applause] rers dance [Applause] through and it's the aces with the ball three-pointer Jackie young can't hit that one and so it's New York winning this one they had some nervous moments down the stretch but things finally came together for them in the overtime you know they didn't probably anticipate a close one down the wire in regulation but they picked it up a notch and I thought this overtime period was outstanding this win has got to feel very satisfying so that's going to do it for this one folks my for
