heel reben pass by Jones here's the kick out Harris Corner three is good she's been Hami and barell fighting for it Bonner gets in there we're going to get a jump win that TI here's Sims off balance off the window to La Carrington a spot up three that rolls off rebounds from the foul line Stevens off the window barks they left that quarter just down one daring her to shoot that one Thomas does what she wants and puts the ball on working against Hy double team comes and a foul comes in and foul the entire first half picked up three personals have Z on the floors Jones misses the first free throw list as questionable but unable to be in up on the floor and was brilliant in her time Carrington using the finds Jones free throw line and able to knock down the 15 foter find Sims here's the handoff Jackson you to think about Ria Jackson and the transition she's made from the four to solid Stevens a three so a lot of length here's Jones in deep unable to get the left hand hook stick around at the half we're going to talk to Stephanie white early challenge here just five and a half left in this first quarter Make some noise for her all right Christina well well I was feeling like a a personal need in the market which I think welcome back it was a successful challenge so it'll be sun Basket in rebounding as a spark and you guys when you ask the stats just like rebounding and as she's able to put one up down low here took a hard fall there she ran into a couple tough screens against Thomas here is Stevens Thomas running the break three on two and kenon able through that LA's in last plays probably but the numbers don't lie first I think just scoring rebounds everything she's doing the Sun so Marina ma going to check in h is seven on the shot clock Haron sets her feet deep three back rim rebound Jackson getting downhill loses it but it's Briana Jones her second personal as well so Jones the attack mode that the Sparks have played in for the first six minutes they only go about eight deep ma flips it over her head to Thomas underneath poke away Wing pull up just outside the paint goes glass no reason to put it on the floor and try to get into the congestion here Sims the hesitation has the Baseline the layup good and how about 14 of the whether it's transition or half court just getting 70 run by La the kids are out here on a Tuesday night holding Connecticut to just 33% Connecticut's missed eight of their 12 Odyssey Sims has caught on to the way Kurt Miller wants her to play was signed to rest of season contract and here's a turnover in this quarter for Connecticut Sims he looks and Carrington running into Sims there they're going to number one is turnovers and they've done a great job of that so far not giving the ball Sims running the wing looking for Jackson but here's Caron looking to push carington goes right into barell four on the shot clock barell sees it step back mid melt W Thomas leaves it Jones running the floor lay it up and in to her on that deflection there she deflected the ball out of bam as she's continued to clutch that shoulder see a lot when you watch the NFL right it looks like Crystal Dangerfield going to be checking in can only hope everything is okay with Odyssey Sims Connecticut their last 10 Odyssey Sims or something danger fi with one Hees it up and right second opportunities back door to hamy who couldn't roll skip past Burton wide open three from the corner won't go over their five three-point attempts here's danger field of three can't get that Thomas gets open again just inside the elbow push shot

and draws the whistle nice little bounce pass inside moving the ball nicely come into this game they they know Minnesota has one and if she was grabbing her shoulder when she left the game and the shot clock Jackson stops pops shooting pocket that time puts on the deck against Stevens in a nice tap but it just seems like so much more because of the Run fouls in the first quarter here's cook has a step ticks on the shot clock back door Sims to strong Miss shovels to Jones and Hami Jones Thomas and Bon Sparks counter with Jackson hamy Ste here's Jones the spin against hamy and the reverse is there so no help field for Brianna Jones cook listen Thomas charged with the foul her first personal opportunities not trying to do too much if the drive's there take it Don halock Mary Murphy here

puts it on the deck around the paint block shot there rifles a pass underneath carington right there forward at the doorstep Sun by eight here's cook helps side comes ball batted away from behind by Hami and they're going to get boner for her third here's the back door off the hands of cook son of been able to limit Hami somewhat in their meetings with what's going on with with her team with the opponent and and carington going to draw a foul there against cook and transition for Connecticut tonight especially not the way Carrington runs the floor right nope deal she was just all over the place Diego Stevens gets the step against 11 rebounds here in this first half as Thomas left wide open barela transition three in and out it's picked up by Hami on the switch Jones deep position she backed different first half by LA on Sunday they scored 45 L sun in control here that's really flourished into one of the it was like so much more here's Jones in deep sometimes D Carrington reminds me of sh Jones has 13 to lead him here is Ria jackon with the mayy after boner picked up those two fouls in the first quarter Jones could for her shot when she's open but opening up the floor to others Lee good position against Nelson ad DOTA loses it in the paint May pocket like nice pass underneath as kingon able to find against Bell that will send Alyssa Thomas to the foul line he's going to challenge so we've had two challenges now Kurt Miller going to challenge that last Roy Goan our crew chief Katherine Chang to his right very important call here Kurt Miller deciding to Ria Jackson six of six from the field rest of the team is six of 24 yeah that's not a good number and 0 for why just couldn't stop saying enough good things about her when we talked to her both phases as well as she says any other ESPN so she saw rakia Jackson a lot sh as smoothly both on the offensive end and the defense at draft time her versatility being able to play the four just a high level of comfort there and this is going to be a successful challenge here for [Applause] LA but it's her they'll have an opportunity to have another challenge later in tipped and won by Sten would look like with a healthy as aay Stevens All Season miss the offensively 7 Seconds separate shot clock from game clock you know illegal screens called here it is interesting just how nearly identical Z Corner three no you're to get a good look here in the corner barell sets Thomas long heave to beat the buzzer foul trouble here is Jones deep position she had seven of 10 from the field meanwhile Alysa Thomas ball nearly wrestled away Sim stays with it tried to beat the Buzz for this that's Bonner three well short double team there well on the switch Jackson was on her for quite a bit not sure what the
