some scoring the game was able to to speed up Isabelle Harron came in the game ran Jefferson pushing Diamond to Shield Dana Evans and T's going to go with that same unit to start this second quarter they really got the team back in it Kia Stokes has checked in for the aces her first man K Martin get the start as chelse GRE a little jumper on the left side to go the aces they St for a lot of Threes they were two of 10 and remember Camille cardoso not in the game the size of Chicago not out there two personal fouls picked up by cardoso in the first quarter two by on W as well so they had to take a seat as AC squeezes that one up okay did you see the spin on that pass yep that's why the point God is so good she saw AC with the post up and then just spin it right into her uh there's more fans that are able to come in as well about 18,000 and it's a sellout yeah this is a this is a nice Arena and the AC F just down the street cuz you can see M Bay from here yeah I mean they're long blocks just add our ask our stage manager to Sean it's a long block from here but it's still you can see it that's it but it's hot oh Tiffany hey she's a gamer she is 7even points already for her she got the start tonight in this one no Kelsey Plum for the aces no Kennedy Carter for the sky the teaspoon went ahead and put Camila cardoso back in the game she had only played a minute 48 with those two f and a takeway the aces defense has been on Q this first half they have been forcing the turns that's the ninth turnover of the game and oh straight through the high arer Swit from Chelsea graay Chelsea graay is getting back to form pre-injury you can see the confidence in her on the floor her movement her shot took a little while to get back into really her Rhythm and finding her form but she has done so yeah she said she's definitely feeling better and you know she said the team we got to come in here have a mindset and be locked in especially on the defensive end she said we're in playoff mindset now got to be she's got nine points she's way outside on that one the ball fake got the D in the air scoops it up she knows how to spin that ball to make it go through you get the ball side to side make the defense shift on a close out that that leaves the opportunity for a driveing lane that's exactly what Becky Hammond told them today she said I want you to move them side to side was one of the keys for the team help D coming over on cardoso to kick out the Harrison and that one will drop good box out by gray inside Aces on a 130 run can they add to it not this time Kia Stokes trying for the oard an intense season in the WNBA and W back in with the two personals she's a player that can get going and she drives it in good the fourth year player trade to Chicago this year nine of the 11 players on this roster are new to the Chicago roster it's a lot of new with the new head coach and a lot of new faces and it really takes time I but right now they have the potential to make the playoffs yeah I was concerned of whether or not Chicago could get there with the changes they made when you trade Michaela Marina B yeah to Connecticut yeah she was their leading score at the time they made the move changes in the starting lineup you got a shooter in Rachel banam you get some quick with r Jefferson Lindsay Allen gets more time at that point guard spot yeah and she's been good she's had a solid season Lindsay Allen has as Kia Stokes is going to take a seat guson back in Bantam quick release no hesitation good box out by the aces a re really getting many touches down low inside Jackie young loses one Defender that one won't go so close that last rebound Carolyn for Asia Wilson she's now become the WNBA single season record holder at 315 and give her another one just keep adding to it you just can't keep one record on on their sheet for her because it changes constantly say assist Chelsea gr there you go I think gon's going to be key in how the aces advance in the playoffs well I Lov when we got a chance to chat with her when we were on the road and just her attitude about I don't care what the minutes are it's what I do with them and it's how much can I help Asia Wilson get the big Defenders off of her as on wed gets a three to go now gson added her the three-point shot Brian agler said we're going to make you a three-point shooter and and on with the link gets it to Jackie four minutes left in the first half Jackie Young on the attack she'll get fouled and go to the line yeah P techie was going to be hot early but so far she's just two of six from the floor one of four from the three-point line she had 11 in their win at Phoenix six boards she had 14 assists in that that tied Chelsea Gray's franchise assist record of 14 and before the break remember she was really struggling from the floor only one three-pointer in 10 straight games it's both free throws seven points for Jackie young Aces have done a nice job getting to the free throw line seven of eight shooting and the sky they have yet get there trying to go to ree inside and she loses it GIC could frustrate post players mallas y the way she moves her feet she doesn't let the offense get her sealed she was not afraid to make some contact as well Sid Coulson shot clock winding down goes to the left just not quite enough on it as the sky trying to push Tempo and now gusterson knocks Reese to the floor so she'll go to the free throw is on that run 18 points it'll be interesting to see can they keep their foot on the gas and extend the lead or do they like they have all season they' let teams come back in the ball gamees this is the first but gets the second and her first point of this game creative yeah get yourself ready oh it's also going to be on the C facility cour so if you haven't seen the facility that's another reason to get yourself there as inside Asia Wilson puts the head down and keeps on going the mentality that Asia has had not just all season but specifically since the Olympic break she has put her hard hat on Kristof balance and she's able to finish but she's so strong skip across shot clock down to three oned able to hit it hanging in there Asia's first field goal was that last one one of three shooting for her with four points six rebounds you said it puts the hard hat on you know what she also puts the white t-shirt on as of late since that Olympic break as well she has decided I don't really feel like getting dressed up right now I don't feel like we're playing like we should but maybe pretty soon here she'll start getting ready with the fit a little bit more you know sometimes you perform like you dress she her dress was I am going to work not worried about you know what designer what fit my FIT looks like yep as Reese weaves her way up and good Wilson three prior to that she hit one in Phoenix as well but she has seven points gives it up to Jackie young trying to lose on W and finally did kept her footing enough to get the shot to go I think there was a lot of standing in the early part of this quarter and now bodies are starting to move not just ball movement but body movement and Reese has been on the attack the last several times down going to give the foul to Asia Wilson her first oh no to gusterson instead that'll be her second minute 34 remaining Tes weather spoon looking on she said you know our team understands the of their own future their Destiny and it would be big if they were to be able to come into Vegas and still win just like they did right before the Olympic break yeah it sure would no Kennedy Carter though that makes a big difference for them but that's tough Lindsay Allen's been playing much better she's not scored yet in this one though they're missing some scoring from Carter for sure and her defensive scrappiness oh shooter tou Asia Wilson Asia got off to a slow start but she's caught up real fast cardoso fou was fouled by gray blocked first by Wilson wi had here's the rookie camil cardoso first round pick number 33 number three overall rou to Chicago and national champ last year I've been so impressed she was out missed early in the season because of a shoulder injury I was so happy that she was able to get herself back and I just think she's looked so good the rest as she's really gotten into her groove oh she battled against Minnesota getting those 22 points and the other thing that I like about cardan's game is she's a willing passer yeah as well and she's got great hands yeah under a minute left in the first half shot clock winding down the cut inside the mismatch defensively make that extra pass gray got to recognize Haze did she get it off oh I'm sure they'll take a look but it sure look good from here these fans are loving it now can Chicago get the ball cardoso not against a Wilson takeway the defense has been spot on 11 turnovers oh that's early in the shot clock not a good decision by Jackie young of want to hold that one for the last possession yeah I'm surprised she took that one really didn't have others in place that's one of the things they've been doing better offensive rebounding they've been patient on the shot to make sure that they had their teammates there in position as on she gets one at the buzzer and that might be a little momentum for the sky going in at the break
