LAST 2min: Chicago Sky vs Minnesota Lynx WNBA | Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Napheesa Collier

6262 since then the links have outscored Chicago 15-6 it's not as drastic as what we saw in Chicago with that just crazy 18 to5 fourth quarter but it is reminiscent of this is crunch time this is the lyns defense knowing it is one of the best in the WNBA clamping down yeah I think one of the ways that the links Pride themselves is if they score we have to score and teams are going to go on runs but we have to answer that run and that's exactly what we've seen this afternoon Williams Carlton and McBride the three-pointer on the way off the mark uas tracks it down but right into the hands of Lindsay Allen onion W finds Reese bumping underneath Reese head it blocked a jump ball nefisa clier got in there for the block but a jump ball is the ultimate call look at the physicality how she uses her her body like she's just slamming into nefisa Coler she's playing solid defense down low you just got to play straight up and down and take those [Applause] hits cardoso right off the tip it's not over yet back to a five Point ball game I think coach reev saw that one coming she ran to half court when she saw what was going to go down 22 points for Camila cardoso the most she's ever scored in the WNBA she's a rookie so it's her season high in her career high and they look at cardoso again who gives it to Allen oh my what a pass Camila cardosa with her first assist this afternoon brings it back to a three-point ball game she has been showing in the last couple of games that she can pass that ball that one's off of I almost said caller but I don't know which way they're going to call this and I don't think they made a call Minnesota basketball Minnesota basketball with 113 left to play and a threo lead for the links they Chicago is on a 6 nothing run and they have kept it really interesting they've never LED this afternoon and they have just hung around and hung around all day just they don't give up and you can clearly see that and it's a 38 rebound game for this Sky Team this afternoon and they have been battling here shooting percentage at 46% right now and the Camila cardoso 22 points nine rebounds you got Angel Reese with a 17.9 rebound game and Chicago just has not been able to win a lot of games but has a lot of grit and a lot of heart Cheryl reev and the lyns meanwhile they've won seven of eight after today there will be seven games left to play for Minnesota in the regular season they're going on the road for three they're playing five of six on the road after this seven straight games against the East that started [Music] today that's why these these Road games versus home games you have to win at home and that has been a focus of the linkx team all season long what are you looking for in the final 113 [Applause] um I'm I'm expecting that we're going to see a lot more of the same as far as physicality from this Chicago team and if Minnesota just has to do what they do best share the ball and find their best shot Courtney Williams has been the best shot and continues to be she just tied her season High 22 points for Williams she's playing like a dog tonight she wants the ball she's aggressive in it she's looking for a shot Courtney Williams having a big big afternoon thank back up by five onion wed kicks it out to Allen Allen the lob cardoso gets it out of traffic they try to go back in re CER is there for the steal nafisa klier just came up with a huge steal the links have been relying on their defense all season long and it's nefisa ker defensive effort right here that going to secure this one handshake from her head coach I think Williams might have sort of initiated that handshake but it's celebratory nonetheless got to love it a foul to give for Chicago and Angel ree took that Carlton gets it into the back court and McBride will handle 30 seconds left to play the links are up by five McBride pocket pass CER short gets her own rebound [Applause] oh time out Chicago well nefisa Coler had a great look at it and she has had some good looks and you see her getting a hug and and a little pick me up there she's six of 19 this afternoon and it's not from lack of effort that Coler has struggled they're just there are some days when that Rim is just not so friendly yeah she's not so friendly Atlanta Smith is sitting on the bench so she has doesn't had as much help and she's been bodied and around all game long but 15 points five boards for most players is a decent night absolutely Link's fans were celebrating change makers night on Friday September 13th when the Chicago sky is here it highlights partners and leaders in driving positive change for the WNBA and women's sports in general and women's in society you can get your tickets now at links best b.com ticks Courtney Williams has scored 16 of her 22 points in the second half super efficient day 11 of 16 from the floor eight of 11 in the second half I love that when she has a big night scoring wise she still has six assists on the board so it's not one or the other for her it's her ability to be a playm maker and then still be able to score the ball six assists three rebounds two steals a really nice all-around game for Williams a reset timeout to advance the basketball by Teresa Weatherspoon 16.7 seconds left in a fivepoint Minesota lead Allen [Applause] Evans and Chicago is not trying to score in a hurry and turn it over just trying to pass across the back court I mean that was strange with with that little time left I I would think you'd try to get a shot up immediately and foul or do something other than casually set up the offense and it leads to the 21st turnover for the sky team and 27 points off of those turnovers card so checks with teaspoon and in fact Minnesota or Chicago will not fwl the clock runs out and the links complete a wire to wire game they never trailed in this one this afternoon but man did they have to weather a few different comebacks by the Chicago Sky they sure did and I like that they came out in this game playing aggressive defense and
