"WNBA Full Game: Las Vegas Aces vs. Chicago Sky | Aug 25, 2024 | Women's Basketball Highlights"

Wilson all business looking to continue her record set the weather spoon told me that that rookie now Becky Hammond told us that that four out Chicago which quick math that's about nine would be my bench dring to start the first quarter for all of us though I'm a morning person so I applaud the 11:00 a.m. Central local time St Plum hand off here to Asia Wilson over to Gray and Plum takes the first look little bit off the mark Kelsey actually is one of those players who who actually you know shared with us she Travels With A A A travel sauna so to speak and and and she got the early sauna work in this morning little early sweat get the body moving happy belated birthday to to PL turn3 yesterday Angel Wilson clears it for the aces still no score that was a Nifty pass though from Lindsay Allen and Wilson's first shot as Wilson averaging almost 28 points per game sitting at just the shy of 27 she's been up in that in that range all season long as Megan gestson picks up her first personal ASA Wilson you know she keeps this pace up she would set a w record look at how far right now her average even is above Diana terasi this year literally we are witnessing history [Applause] [Music] cardoso soft hands gets the pass can't get the Finish trying to chase it down the Chicago Sky the best offensive rebounding team in the league this year feeding Wilson at the post she got a triple team coming gets her own Miss puts it back cardoso takes it away great defense there by cardoo to keep her hands straight up and not come down gets a clean block Lindy Allen works it over to Michaela on knocks down the three-pointer it's our first bucket of the day M Onan her seventh start of the Season putting to the starting lineup after mayy traded to the Connecticut Sun Vegas opens up 0 for five here to start and Coach weather spon has things to say about on and W and how she's got into the starting lineup been consistent can play both sides of the basketball really well as Carter gets to her mid-range game remember the last time that this Sky played the aces Kennedy Carter at the time had a season high of 34 points it's a game where the sky knocked off Vegas 93 to 85 in the last game before the All-Star Olympic break gice Taps it to herself the best rebounder in the league has her first rebound this afternoon pass deflected by Wilson and here comes [Applause] Plum kick offall and the aces will take it out for the sideline you can see early for Chicago there's an intention to get the ball inside to Camila cardoso early they want her to start with a touch on their offensive possessions and play inside out Teresa weatherspoon's team best in the league in terms of points in the paint here this year average about 42 to 43 points in the paint per game's looking for their first field goal and drawing the foul against cardoso that'll be her first cam cardoso coming off a career high game against Connecticut put up 18 points and he had a ation with Teresa weather SPO and her coach just about her finding her way this year as all rookies try to do once they turn pro Asia Wilson the two-time WNBA champ with the aces six-time Allstar we mentioned her points per game average and she had which is now snapped an eight game stretch where she was at least 20 points 10 [Music] rebounds also by the way the F MVP so arguably the best play of the world right now is it arguably Lea it's really not not this year at least Carter drops it off th finishes with her off pes's first points a really nice play there by Carter to thread the needle to her and then love toow angel finished on balance she's working on her body control when she has to finish around the basket and that one was good Ro trying to go to work against Rees that one squeezes out and the still don't have a field goal 0 for seven here to begin with or two points from the free throw line Carter leaning in can't finish Asia Wilson leaks out I was going to say if they can't get that one as their first field goal it might be a long afternoon all four points for the aces coming from Asia [Music] Wilson in wed from mid-range not there but cardoso pursuing the boards another opportunity contact made Plum with her first again Chago with on the shot clock hesitation move Lindy Allen can't get it had a really good scoring game against Connecticut in the last game of Sky play Plum trying to size it up from three and she opens up 0 for three from the field it's going to be really important that the aces can score and transition this game zero fast break points in their last one versus the Minnesota l Becky H was not happy about that especially when they turned over the ls 21 tires Asia Wilson offensive rebound but it's ripped away quick Hands by Angel [Applause] Reese those two players kind of the mentor in the mentee they will see each other oneon-one several times here today on looky what I found another bucket for the Scot and again another interior pass by Kennedy Carter we talked about how Marina ma left this team in the middle of the Olympic break and has put Carter on the ball more but she's done a good job of facilitating the teammates they making Wilson or but she gets that one and an and one coming up for [Applause] Asia it's kind of an allson and Reese Emily proud you can add too bad yeah Angel Reese told me that they put the admiration aside today ree said that if she blocks my shot and I block her shot like she just did she's going to talk me I'm going to talk to her but at the end of the day we'll be all L between the two of them mutual respect on and off the court but but all competitors when these two hit the court and it is going to be a fun afternoon to watch them well first time out 9 to six a lead for this guy over the aces Tiffany Hayes first minutes here in the first quarter kick out touch pass Asia Wilson thought about that three-pointer to pull it she'll take about the 17-footer instead and that works and they need more offensive efficiency coming out of this timeout and especially anytime that card Doo is matched up with Wilson she can look to really knock down those shots in the mid-range and stretch the Flor she knows cardoso doesn't want to come outside the paint cardoso paint touch spinning off of Stokes off the glass for two she did her work early ducked in early got great positioning and then made a strong decisive move four assists for five field goals for Chicago Angel Wilson all eight points here for the aces to begin with it's what you had talked about ice it can't be all Asia for the aces to have success here this year [Applause] [Music] Allen hesitation reaching foul they're going to a continuation call Jackie young reaches in it'll be her and recognizing more when to call her own number when she needs to score the basketball and then she's course to facilitate P point guard and her voice she talked tremendously about her voice and Mariah Jeffers checking in really impressed with her leadership too involved in that Connecticut Sun trade a look for Alicia Clark not there Clark today now coming off the Ben she had started against the Minnesota links 0 for four the aces are from three to begin with Angel ree well off the mark she hit a couple of those we were watching in the pregame shid range jump shots especially off her face up game has looked good really good off ball cut there from Kelsey Plum Lindsay Allen with the first personal CBS time for the sky Dana Evans coming off the bench she has started 12 times here this year at the beginning of the season for Chicago averages about seven points per game looking for cardoso not there that time cardoso wanted a foul there thought she got hit as she was shooting the floater Asia Wilson crosses over cardoso Harps her up and let her know about it Lisa rookie playing big big in the post ox's got 8.7 rebounds but she has had to work for it cardoso now with three blocks already in the [Applause] game Stokes defending cardoso crosscourt pass Six now to shoot Evans jabad takes a peek at the shot clock the little Runner off the glass two [Music] strong Plum over to Wilson a heavy dose of offense here for Rosa she wanted to get the foul call w'll get it numbers supporting the sky here's Mariah Jefferson trying to find Reese poked away it'll be AC's basketball good idea there by Reese trying to post up as Becky Hammond is not happy Becky Hammond talking to us yesterday when when they arrived you Wilson about the no call there she thought there should have been a foul call her line to us we are one to two baskets one to minutes one to two drops from making it rain nice action there off ball screen Tiffany Hayes open inside more ball and player movement for the aces that's what I'd like to see offensively for [Music] them just two assists and just four field goals here for the aces to begin with about 90 seconds left to play here in the quter cardoso's in trouble wrapped up by a couple of Aces players it'll be a jump off [Music] when you have a luxury to put in Tiffany Hayes just such a vet knows how to win and plays both sides of the basketball you think about you know the aces dropping a couple of games to the links and what they need to me is perimeter defense and TIY ha brings that Jefferson had to put it up the shot clock is at one look at angel Reese get up that offensive rebound she'll get about five of those per game she leads the league in total rebounds per game five here to shoot on W gets a look and makes good on it she's feeling good up to eight points here in the first quarter she done a little bit of everything but shooting the basketball with confidence how much did Coach weather spoon talk to us about her players playing with confidence and allowing them to be themselves Asia Wilson again bodies flying Hayes retains in and out for Clum only two players for the aces have scored son is one Hayes is the other here is Tiffany Hayes thinks about it eight to shoot she'll pull the trigger from [Applause] three he's a 35% three-point shooter coming off the bench adds a little bit of the edge off the bench the aces have looked for here this year shot clock still in play going into this possession for the [Music] sky evens using the cardoso scen three to shoot Evans penetrates into the lane can't get it to drop plenty of time for the aces to get a shot off if they want to here's Hayes across midcourt Hayes a little shake and bake a pull that's a long two she'll count it they'll review it but a long two with a foot on the line and maybe some momentum for the aces headed into the second quarter I think if we're looking at a team who has won backto back championships and then we've seen their record so far 177 and 11 lost couple of games in a row and they've done it and so I I agree with inconsistent but the great thing is you know that they're capable right you know that this Core Group can make it happen if Clark knocks down a much needed three in the corner well they looked at the Tiffany Hayes shot at the end of the first quarter still rolled it a two the officials saying that there wasn't uh it was not conclusive enough in some of the looks that they were getting to change it to a three so that's where we stand here at the beginning of the second quarter Izzy Harrison Off the Bench for the sky Kate Martin the Iowa product playing her first minutes of the second quarter today a few family members and friends in attendance for Martin who misses her first shot of the day out on the bench she had eight points eight rebounds and the aces didn't hit a three-pointer that first quarter [Music] Onan pump fake two on the shot clock onan's got to put it up good defense there by Chelsea Gray just oneon-one stopping the ball forcing a tough shot and then that's this is what the aces need more of scoring in transition pushing the pace can you force Chicago to stop the ball early they did not and Kelsey Plum gets easy too well we've seen Clark looking for her shot she had the long two in the corner now Plum hitting her first field goal and their first points Aces looking a lot more aggressive here to start out this second quarter taking a look at the upcoming Jefferson in and [Music] out it'll be AC's basketball Chelsea Gray one of her goals is to come back healthier she missed the first 12 games of the season and to it on the floor Jefferson retains possession here for the [Music] sky on Mid post entry pass to Harrison now there's got to be more off ball movement once the ball goes into the post good take by Harrison better defense though from gusers Plum on the push Clark with a post up against Rachel banam and good awareness again you want to get easy high percentage looks in transition Clark knows that she has the size advantage over banam to get her on her backside and banam was such an important pick up in that trade because of her veteran leadership just you know understanding how to talk how to direct bring this younger team with her they're looking to post up Bantam once again though and she's picked up a couple of quick F this Las Vegas Aces team miss her Tong when she was out with a foot injury the first 12 games of the Season catch your favorite football or football games on paramont land only it's gray sinks the other free throw Chelsea was the one that told us Chicago left a bad taste in their mouth at the last loss before the Olympic break said it lingers especially when you lose on your home court there she is though intercepting a pass had to sit on that loss for about a month's time Clark is a right back to gra spinning off the defender can't get it and she's slow to get up holding the back of her head oh good hands there by Alicia Clark such a good Defender gray has it looks it off to and beautifully done beautifully executed the AC's first lead of the game 20 to9 we will take struggle 3p it's not an easy thing to do yeah one teams get better right they Scout better Kelsey Plum told us that teams have adjusted to them they're playing them a little bit differently but also this WBA season specifically I mean there are more games that teams are playing we had the Olympics and that forces a condens season so it's just been a lot of extra things that have been brought into this season on top of the fact that they this team did did not start the season off healthy Kelsey gray was missing due to an injury they were without their main point guard so they've had to go through a lot of different struggles this season but Becky Hammond totally believes that they are capable Kennedy Carter mentioned had the 34 points the last time these two teams met three points AC quiet in her standards first half for Kennedy a certainly a focus one of the best drivers and penetrators in the league here this year and Becky Hammond we know that that has been a defensive Focus for them here today have to try to put walls of bodies in front of Kennedy [Applause] Carter Wilson against Reese spins it pops out Carter with the rebound [Music] [Applause] [Music] single digits on the shot clock Carter calls tough shots I love how Carter can navigate the Baseline you're worrying about her driving past you then she puts Plum on her back nice little Fade Away beautiful shot she can heat up in a second here for the sky has proven that she can do [Music] that oh for eight from three for the aces here this afternoon norly one of the the better three three-point shooting teams in the league cross cour pass it's coming our way Rachel banam chases it down Carter hesitation looks to split the defense a hard foul on the aces side like you said Kenny Carter starting to heat up puts Kelsey Plum behind her fade away they're going to review this foul referees are looking to see a possible upgrade on the defensive foul Mitchell for a FL by Kennedy well that's thank you Emily you know with Kennedy Carter at the foul line it is important to note Carter has four points that's that's what the league calls it but essentially four flagrant points so four flagrant ones here throughout the year if she gets to five she would be suspended for one game prior to or after that game that she commits a a possible fifth flagrant one so you know flagrance upgradeable fouls or something year but we cannot stress enough about how competitive and how physical the WNBA has always been from year one absolutely another nice downhill attack harder just not able to [Music] finish Jackie young has been very quiet here in the first half good defense by vom I don't think that was the best shot the aces could have gotten in that situation here's cter thinking about taking Wilson off the bounce over to Diamond to Shields in and [Music] out Jackie Young no points in the first half for the Aces and again a corner shot it's another long two for Clark she's got a couple of those she does such a good job of stretching the floor for the aces especially that right [Music] corner Clark pulls up in the lane I'm sorry Lindsay Allen pulls up in the lane defense louder [Applause] louder Wilson again three shoulders can't get the buck hit that was Asia's 18th shot of the first half 18th the next person has six which is Kelsey pal it's a great Point she has taken almost she's taken basically half of the aces field goal attempts at 36 rce with another bucket and great job by ree to go up quickly as soon as she caught it she went right up to finish strong Asia to score and rebound and do everything and I thought tip Hayes has brought in some really good energy Off the Bench there with a followup and put back you can see the tenacity there I'm telling you Becky Hammond could not say enough good things about Tiffany Hayes by the way came out of retirement to play with the aces in this roster and try to win a championship here this year bam loses it A's the one directing traffic Plum young and Clark in the back court Plum will take it good aggression there offensively just quick ball movement right ball and player movement Plum caught that right off the curl able to get right downhill need to see more of that for the aces P quick pull and Reese keeps it alive for Chicago Angel Reese already with eight rebounds here today 10 seconds on the shot clock it'll stay here angel ree has talked about being a rebounder she said it's what I've always done credits the fact she can be ambidextrious Rebound with both hands Carter getss a look catching fire here in the second quarter what' she tell us today Lisa she's not playing around anymore keny Carter said my mindset for the second half of the Season I'm not playing around anymore Kelsey Plum isn't playing around either backto back buckets for plums and I like that she's putting the ball on the floor getting a piece of the paint right it's not coming from catch and shoot threes on the outside Carter had a focus pregame the conversation with us gets wrapped up a little bit Hayes defensively making that one tough she's flexible to make moves like that Baseline early in the morning all these tricks these players these Pro players have on the road now 30 to 28 Clum up against Allen over to gray three-pointer on the way not there it's a good look though good driveing kick action gray got an open shot in Rhythm 0 for nine the aces are from three-point territory inside a minute here in the first half Carter freeze blocked by Wilson cut all of that [Applause] oh second [Music] blow and then does it both ways that's what she does mid-range jump shot cannot leave her open Carter Clark with the rebound gr surveying her options wips the pass to Wilson who rips past the whole defense and the aces with momentum and back on top scoring in transition picking up the pace a little bit here to finish the half two second differential game and shot clock Carter one of the best penetrators in the league gives it up Corner shot Allen with three on the shot clock High arching shot not there gray over to Mid Court gray PS on the way not [Applause] there 32-3 it has been entertaining here in this first half three lead changes a couple of ties and the aces ending the second quarter on a 20-13 run to end the second Emily is with Becky Hammond all right coach you told us yesterday you wanted to get more out of your guards how do you evaluate what you're getting out of them in this first half I mean we're getting downhill we're driving we're kicking we're just not making very many shots right now um I'm happy with the defense giving up 30 and a half is not bad so we can live with that uh you just have to believe that the worm's going to turn on the shooting we're getting good looks that's what I'm concerned with and I know they'll knock it down A's gotten some good looks she gotten hit a little bit so we're we're kind of mixing in a little bit of everything thank you cook so those are things to look out for as we begin the second half [Music] [Applause] [Music] Carter pulls up ties it at 32 and allowing her to get to her mid-range game you know that's where she wants to score you have to build some resistance there as she's trying to pull up mentioned she had seven points seven of her nine in the first half coming in the second quarter so she can put up points pretty frequently and Carter now the guilty party here first personal a bit of a reach in but on the other took a one-year Hiatus Kennedy Carter did from the league and has found a new home and new opportunities here with Chicago Plum still 0 for 10 from three for the aces after that Miss yeah Kennedy told us that that one year off just allowed her to take a break from the game to come back with a pressure perspective to be motivated I'm playing overseas but the one year off in the in the W right absolutely Here Comes Chelsea Gray on a physical Defender trying to slow down the aces point guard gray goes right at her and that's a good contest from on that is Chelsea gy signature move she will post up smaller guards and knock one down at the nail and on the third quarter Megan Guston getting her first start of the Season as the fifth stared for the aces here today on with a miss another rebound for Wilson 11 for the day for Asia Wilson and and pl we've seen her do that a few times today forcing the issue in transition no one really stopped the ball able to use a hesitation and get right by her Defender Carter looking for it finding cardoso Rees with the offensive rebound and come back that is her BR and putter Twin Towers man one shoots them one rebound somehow they both finish six points nine rebounds for Angel Reese take beat the league in rebounding as a rookie yeah her and Asia Wilson have gone back and forth in the rebounding category the three-pointer Falls for Megan gips in one of the areas that she's improved as a pro and one of the reasons too why I like that Becky Hammond went with her to get the start today can she help spread floor a little bit another offensive weapon from deep and Megan Guston hits that first three-pointer for the aces if you have that on your bingo card here today who would get the first three Megan guson and she's open again go go for it again why not custon backto back Vegas with its largest lead of the game they have been over until someone named Megan you don't know where the momentum's going to come from Meg gusterson has only taken two shots both of those three-pointers are only points here today to put it in her perspective just her 11th and 12th three-pointers of the Season as she commits her third personal Guston has worked on her three-point shot the last few years really she's in year six so really her fourth year in the league fifth year in the league and sixth year in the league she has started to shoot a few more three-pointers and the answer on with a smile on her face and that is her third triple that she's knocked out on the Scout you have to get out and Plum just goes right by her foot on the gas no hesitation go go go Carter penetrating out the bucket body bucket and one for [Applause] [Music] Kennedy and here's the SE Carter had told us we are a hungry basketball team the Chicago Skies coming into today sitting in that eth spot remember it's the top eight in the WNBA that make the playoffs they've got the Atlanta Dream hunting them from behind the fever just ahead of him in seventh place Wilson partially blocked the defense by camil this is where the sky need to score with numbers and cardoso running the floor can't pay it off PL Baseline Little shake and P that hesitation will get you every time and her hesi is so lethal and the patience right looking on the court seeing where the defense goes and then attacking too many steps there for Ree and a turnover for the sky the seventh of the game Watch the patience here [Music] from wison so far scoreless here in the third quarter sitting on those 14 points she got in the first half great this time will pull up from mid-range Wilson pursuing Wilson bl by re and draws the foul against cardoso who thinks she got it clean the sky want Teresa weather spoon to take a look at this a challenge o to the free throw line it's one of the reasons she's the best at drawing fouls in the league she just elevates well test drive powered by carmax's back you can watch all your favorite

first Miss she's three for three from three before that shot keep in mind she had only hit nine threes coming into today and and out for Carter I know she wants that one back she had the mismatch with Stokes guarding [Music] her Plum Wing look not there for cig they've had a tough time other than Megan gsip and no one's hit a three-pointer they are two of 13 as a team and have been open looks good [Music] looks Carter gets it to the area that she wants to kick out to on W post touch Reese and a foul by Wilson Forever on way now with the post touch and leaning right in offensive foul call Tiffany ha went flying and that's what you call work smarter not harder working smarter means get Jackie young initiating things one shot as you have pointed out ice all game no points young looking for it still no points a player who averages almost 18 points per game and I mean she's had a tough assignment as well guarding Kennedy Carter so she's definitely exerting a lot of energy on the defensive side but she has to score and there you go another the skyscrapers I called them Twin Towers earlier and someone tweeted me and said no the skyscrapers are in Chicago Plum for three no offensive FAL call in the paint Carter for three uh-oh Kennedy Carter not normally a three-point shooter trilling that one and has cut the lead to one remember she put up 34 in the last meeting with the aces on July 16th Angel Reese for third [Music] ree seven to shoot Plum to Wilson bl by cardoso what a day what a [Applause] recovery got to find a way to get it to Angel she's got a mismatch [Applause] cardoso Darice tries to muscle it in always going to pursue that Miss and that's where the growth in Angels game has to happen to keep her composure to know that she has a mismatch but to get a solid shot up on [Applause] balance Stokes regaining control 9 seconds to shoot here's Plum trying to find that scene Plum looking for it and finding it and Kelsey Plum 14 points on the day yes feel like KB might use that as momentum I could see it shared with us these Players called themselves inconsistent this year and everyone kind of put all their hands on deck there and so that's a pretty accurate description I think as a team that's trying to three repat you got to keep it honest you have to know exactly where you have to have a high self awareness oh you can count it and give her a free throw coming up and good play call here coming off a career high heard Emily's report Tera weather spoon describing these two rookies cardoso and reys confident not arrogant but confident I like that she I like that she said that I like that she made sure we knew they're not arrogant but they are confident in what they could do CL penetrating the kick out to Wilson jab step she's going to go against Reese once again Reese turns her away pass deflected by Carter two seconds on the shot clock tell you what that was great defense by Angel Reese not her mid-range pullup each of these teams have won at least one time this year the first meeting June 27th went to the aces the second meeting July 16th went to the sky in Vegas the last game before the All-Star Olympic break [Applause] blocks on the three-point attempt and a shot clock violation 17 points one block four rebounds three assists for Kennedy CER her stat line here so far she takes a peek inside crossb pass on y not there cardoso with the clean up job Sky back on top four lead changes five ties here today [Applause] and H the third quarter Wilson works it around the Clark and Wilson off the bounce against cardoso another good contest from cardoso you got to you got to imagine she takes it super personal guarding another South Carolina alone man Asia Wilson and just showing her what she can do kind of a big sis baby sis matchup both of them won national championships carner with the cut get the assist to cardoso all six7 over saw that cleanly coming [Music] points in the paint equal 26 all between these two teams shovel pass gipson with the Finish beautifully done by the point God Chelsea Gray oh the no look through the whole defense off and guson so good at moving without the [Music] basketball Carter th she's calling for a foul call won't get it on the move nearly picked off by Carter Plum gets it Wilson finishes it that's like a layup for Asia Wilson open at the elbow but you see a couple of plays strung together for Vegas starting with getting a stop then getting out in transition C that six ties seven different lead changes we're tied again here at [Music] 52 cardoso tried to get the offensive rebound into the hands of Wilson going to take it herself haia Wilson a one person he a break but blocked again by cardoso cardoso with five blocks on the afternoon man oh man Comm a career high in blocks today for cardoso the sky with the jump Here Comes Carter PS fires had to put it up the quarter clock expiring it's fitting hey we tied at let's not forget Kennedy two just her own personal numbers one for four in the first quarter two points two assists and she has exploded from the second quarter on Kelsey Plum hesitation time down to shoot into Plum's hands once again driving Baseline the kick out gray is ready fires and hits just the third three-point make for the aces today as you see Tiffany Hayes walking back gingerly to the aces bench good sign to see her walking back out though and we're just told too that hay is actually clear to come back into this game to Emily proud our our sideline reporter for Gathering that [Music] information cardoso feeding on she's got three of those not that time [Applause] [Music] Guston turns towards her strong hand gets it to go really nice awareness from Plum to get it to Gus while she had the mismatch right in the heart of the paint dou yeah double figures for Json 10 points in the starting lineup based on what they need in matchups is what py ham tells us kickoff Jackie young still scoreless in this game will take it herself her first points on on Teresa Weatherspoon so Kelsey Plum to the free throw [Applause] line wears everything on her heart not her sleeve and her team right now trailing by eight cardoso catches the pass Onan left all alone makes good on it 15 points for nichaela Onan really stepping up the last game against the Connecticut Sun Lindsay Allen stepped up and was scoring and there was that extra player for them this time though it's been onion wed looking for her shot she has become a starter since we mentioned since the mabery trade Clark not there too strong Carter on the Move gives it to ree catches the pass can't get the shot off but he'll stay here it's off the aces last [Music] [Applause] [Music] gosson not there great looking with eyl bucket great job by gray on the offensive boards keep your eye on Kennedy Carter Chicago did not sub in the third quarter she has been playing both sides of the basketball could be a little fatigued at this point in the game [Music] yeah with all five starters for the full 10 minutes of the third re near back but that falls short Angel re seven points 14 rebounds looking for her 22nd double double of the season this is a critical part of the game right now for the Chicago Sky they have to hang in they have to make a play equally as critical for the aces to try to shut the door coming over ree Smothers G [Applause] just 20% accuracy from three-point territory for the aces today normally top three in the lead there is Allen forcing the issue off the glass for two tough take by Allen weather SC told us she's been recognizing more when to interject herself into scoring and when to call on herself nice bucket gray spinning off on Y and trying the contact [Applause] her second we've seen gray several times ton one-on-one get to her spots and then look to score she feels confident in that [Applause] matchup there's more WNBA action coming your way September 4th on CBS Sports Network Caitlyn Clark the Indiana FIFA trying to battle to be one of those top eight teams to make the playoffs hosting the Los Angeles [Music] Sparks let's go SC sa with me let's go [Applause] SC in with it six to shoot gives it up to Allen now for to shoot post entry Tes puts it up you can count it Granddad of Angel Reese who just turned 80 years old yesterday happy [Music] [Applause] [Music] birthday lead to single digits and Allen tried to pick it off out of Gray's hand but commits her third personal instead you got to wonder Teresa weather SP not making a sub in the third quarter how's that going to play over fatigue exhaustion for some of these Sky players here in the four absolutely just asking your players to dig deep but this this unit right here I mean they played connected defensively it's been good opening up the fourth the same unit G set for three again and Becky Hammond told us that they were getting the looks they wanted in the first half they just weren't knocking him down from three hasn't been that story here in second J CL oh the [Applause] response that's nasty that is nasty she hit that shot and then looked at her head not for to go with their nine points here's banam gets a look tribes calls their own number Rees looking for the put back it's smothered on the shot attempt it'll stay here though with 11 seconds on the day the aces out scoring the sky this quarter 21 to8 B up with three to shoot off balance had to take it and a tough shot another empty possession here for the sky Plum again inside four minutes to [Music] play gr penetrating looks it off to Plum Allan has goes right at goson what a move okay Lindsay love that move took it right at the big time is not on the sky side but still some time to try to whittle into this lead Aces looking to shut the door young throws it away you know the aces have played pretty clean basketball just the fourth turnover of the game remember they had 20 turnovers against the links in the last game that they played yeah we spoke to Chelsea simp and then Kelsey talked about not getting in too deep into the paint I thought she's done a fantastic CH today of getting a piece of the paint facilitating toward teammates keeping the offensive flow [Applause] [Music] moving Allen for three Reese with another rebound making 18 rebounds remember she's gone back to back with 20 rebounds looking pursuing once again Rees
