opportunity I did have a chance to catch up with mytic scar Britney syes on Britney said once the team saw they were capable of closing tough games the conf thank you so much megas Connecticut defensive prowess and attention to detail to start for Stephanie white as the reverse L doesn't go Atkins does not go as Karen can fly quickly inside can on the shock block as Jones to control her body and timing in there too strong on that one as like Connecticut they love to attack it they don't shoot the three particular CR here's Dolan as Thomas will swap that up has this team at 22 and8 Stephanie white has just on both sides of it in the corner carington that one Falls for D Karen here another threat great attack there by Ayah they drag the defense with you when you take hard purpose for Cuts Like That points and nine boards a lot of them came by way of cuts enjoying the long Labor Day weekend holiday how about that out of bounds Washington looking to ex two seconds Sykes got by Karen Sykes attacking Jones and Sykes is going to head back stop and go Hydraulic by activated in that way the intentionality behind points two4 from the free throw line so a lot of other ways to impact the game is doson to Van L quick trigger does not go going to get a whistle a foul on L as the trade right there at the right before the trade deadline I like that match up Burton the three [Music] that's DOA inside on Dolson saying she used a little too much of the hit with her but van L pinched down and that's Theon ad DOA and now they're going to get Thomas on oh you know you can't throw your hip over and get outside Sykes will take it this time doesn't go you're open they're going to give you a second to shoot you got to let it go that to go slow the defense down enough to get that shot Off Britney points in six minutes that one dancing with a star welcome she has just been fantastic in terms of being an yet again as you see her right there on the frame all game four Connecticut out of that timeout carington in a row come down to defense and you can't wait till the Edwards a little show comes back middle carington a lot of confidence right now for Connecticut has that of players in the country during her collegiate career at North now Edwards has to let it go that one yeah I mean she's 0 for four from three but again mean the pin is nine-point lead here for Connecticut boner trying to add to it as well and that gets lost she gets absolutely and you can see right there on the way up samel said you know you want to run her off that three-point line and the ability to stretch the floor she only played 12 minutes against [Applause] Chicago leave with something on this for the mystics on a broken play nine times out a it's the first benchmob Squad yeah M Mo minutes off Burton attacking pull up Jay doesn't go con with a rebound decipher where to put the ball with a pass that's what you were saying as the whistle blows here I'll get back at Chicago a really solid bucket there five on the shot clock Walker Kimbro lost her F and it'll be Burton and Walker Kimbro [Music] to boner running the floor and unfortunately right there she put her hands up and instead of putting her hands up you know what she should have done that's why she got the foul she got into the body because her feet were not as she's been struggling a bit from the floor shooting under 30 for of theistic well she had a season high at Dallas whistle and foul called on WE that one didn't say anything was quiet she splits the pair there little floater looked like she was trying to challenge it did did she get a piece with her body I couldn't C case here to to win this challenge so now you get more angles to be able to see us so if you don't have a degree in officiated you'll win it camera angles but that's the best angle to see that there is absolutely no contact you have the ability to challenge obviously in high school you didn't but coach wish they had it now I would definitely love that uh here but we got it with that same shout out to the video staff as well too for getting him that answer quick enough called on samelson because there was no TR will jump it up and Connecticut will little time B three in the corner two seconds attacking the clock too strong that good energy by the mystics second quarter on that bobblehead here at Esa car [Music] s angler that back cut cat Harris didn't really been fantastic this season Thomas is grabbing at her lower right oh no and Thomas it takes a un locker room after colliding with Carly samelson setting that screen and just I just looked like it was crosscourt Atkins Rises and connect a 9-2 run here's Harris as she can first on Staley her coach Atkins back to back to get down in the quarter court she can relay enshrined into the mystics Hall of Fame here here in the WNBA well I mean Christy she's only 64 that's what we're going to say on that but you know there is the mystics [Music] organization six on the shot clock spins off Jones could not get that angler look like that could have been a jump ball Emily angler was right maybe it was because she was behind her and that reach in initially up by Atkins Harris Baseline cut and the Finish take away steps into it and knocks it down deflection misses the layup though flips that one up drops at home better certain they continue to attack that and an offense to the Suns PR staff she just said that they that Alysa Thomas is complete that one Caron that was a really beautiful whistle foul call spin on it boom right into the hands of D carrying Sutton attacking nice drop off to Dolson Dolson in transition cic baby inside lays it up and INB gold Edwards two strongs and then speaking of dropping things off look at that little pitch pass back for game has levels and layers to it and he accepted as a blocking foul is going to be called on Britney inside into the paint but look at the last three games to [Applause] Excellence B 9 32 under four to play here a 3932 lead inside kicks it Edwards nice little short J play quality defense taking charges in that Chicago game IQ of her making that kind of cut off the ball very high pull up jumper does not go underneath the rim boner comes somehow finish Edwards great bounce pocket pass dolon inside sights block from Caren defensive play of the game chrisy I mean it's e and the defensive prowess come get that and get it off Sykes attacking lays it up the a bringing that toughness and grit to the court as always Steph Dolson whistled for the foul just a 57% free throw shooter but does get the first clud here the last eight games Nelson adota shooting 72 Works off Edwards pull up that one Taps that away ends up though in the corner with Caron that one Low cross with the layoff and the kick how about boner attacking has it stet Stephanie white wanted some contact there so she hit her on the hand on the action to get a touch and shot from the floor six points 13 minutes of [Applause] play Sykes left that short as m in paint points for the home team and nine assist on GM mikeebo in postgame live with Wes and CH up you know they're just steady for for us uh both of them on both with a Defender right in her face you know they're both steady um and they have been J's made but three for three right now you know we got to respect it and we got to adjust disrupt them a little bit more on both on the defensive in you know maybe we can pull this out well that was an anomaly that D carington knocked in off and continue to carve away here's Dolson gets things three-point defense and how they are top Atkins getting a piece of the paint and boner overh helped and now she contests triples B answers with a three for connetic offensive rebound for Connecticut and it leads to their defense against Connecticut van defensive adjustments made for the home team a 5145 ay from the outside knocking in a couple of triples for Con in transition lays it up and in it's now an 110 plucking that one away like a grape for Mariel Atkin for Connecticut they have an advantage and Sykes is grabbing at her when it comes back down that way and there's an injured she planted in that left foot roll Mal intended obviously but Britney the frustration there in college dealing with two ACL surgeries not too long ago continues to battle back getting to 100 getting carried off and that's just so tough to see oh boy our Meg McDonald as you see Britney syes giving the fans down in the first half with a leg injury Edwards off the slit nice pass from vanl inside Couldn't get that to go and a whistle and a foul but I coached against Bri Jones in high school and I think we had all was not good see I was going to leave it alone and not ask [Applause] thater she has been five of seven in the last couple of games for the mystics angler nice rip and pull doesn't go Aben Jones Jones inside extra one Ang that falls angler got down low nice little touch and Stephanie of a great pass up to that F line extended area and for more on Emily angler we go to last 3 years you can have two approaches you can complain roen when it comes to play on the floor and she said she used to say SL two years ago she was fourth overall pick her left quad as well too as boner is me and it's been a 72 run since the injury become one of the best defensive teams in the league after the break to get your group in the game lots of groups in here the officials correct themselves and say sun angler attacking high off the window this one will that one doesn't go van tracks her those last two those are shots we've seen her hit as we 17 points Locker Kim thought about it will attack Baseline too strong hope like it's nothing serious for Britney Sykes she is you can play chest not Checker's ability to score inside Jade Melvin seek this game or not I think she has that mindset that she just wants to be on the bench with her second [Music] violation see yesterday I asked G TBO hey what do you want to see done when that but no one moved immediately on that one from the three-point line ton with the little D Burton quickly up the floor attacking Melvin Defenders as we said earlier in the Big 10 four times beast when it comes to anticipation je Dolson returning to the Ball Game angler to the bench has found a way to impact the game in some capacity doubled kicked it Dolson to melbour that three's off the marker Dolson that one rattles home dial it up a little stronger on the defensive side don't that defense out do couldn't connect hesitation the floater she has perfected that called and honor you can see it all over her body language like come on I know ta her on the arm too bad on that [Applause] but melbin one as we head to the fourth quarter
