glad you said that because I was going to talk about just the Erica's growth over the last arque taken away by talit and arque got a piece of by lri tram put secet in there danger field no AZ had it lost it arque lost it for the Sparks here is hambi on the drive Matty tried to tire up off the leg was in on the rotation you got to leak out on that because they're going to try to pass it over there well in instead into the hands of hamy ball still loose colani Brown cover up with it hque stops no yeah you you especially against a team like the Sparks when you know they love to get out and push the ball in transition you can three points yep and she looks like she's headed right back to another 23 points if not more well she's got 11 already heading back to college for RIA Jackson yeah you know we we were talking about that before the game with with Coach Miller's job of just getting acclimated to the W and what it means to be a pro Jackson tried to get it inside you heard the round of applause that wings and played outstanding and that's an understatement she was incredible yeah this year when you talk about growth she definitely is one of those players that's grown and she's just continued to remain a professional not playing in the W this year shot clock at three for arque findes an opening got it beats the shot clock Odyssey Sims has the ball in her hands something is going to happen AR G Count the basket the foul threes they're they're they're beautiful but I love watching her history Skyler diin Smith Ria Jackson hits another three R will foul Natasha Howard how about Ria Jackson though coming in average has grown so much this season I love when she got this 12 games because of that broken foot this offense Stevens good great d by MD Matty knew exactly well and you can see that in mty's game and I hated to see her go down with an injury because she was playing so well New York to go four of nine in the opening quarter from three then they shut him down pretty much the rest of the way Jackson Off The Glass okay we you mean in Ria Jackson is the whole package and not just on offensive end but defensively too absolutely how about that pass from one of the best first quart for La this year Maddie does she get the bounds and she does Odyssey s is going to put the ball down and she is going to attack whoever St to the Southpaw with the three perries in her ninth of the Year shooter that time arque doing a nice job of penetrating finding satu for easy wasn't an easy three but if it's satu shooting it Asia Wilson Kelsey Plum and the lasas Asia Wilson today 2018 two he's had a great game with 13 former Dallas L I think the 24y old was drafted back in 2019 35th by Atlanta counted for Flash has had at times this year they get down by a big margin absolutely and you know lots of times that doesn't just start on the offensive end you got to be able to put some stram more than that satu Miss time because of the shoulder injury Natasha Howard fish rebound and the put back and have you watched the episode yet no I haven't watched remember the Canadian national team started three games for that in the Olympics average just under eight points a game Sims Odyssey having wings have trailed by a bunch as many as 16 and they tip away that is go and that forces the turnover arque a Kia can't get it Odyssey pokes it track you will not run cuz it's like it's going to be a wide open layup but Kia nurse did not give up on the play and even that she would have heard from her brother CU hockey players don't give up on anything so that's why she kept going arque somewhere over the rainbow La only one of four shooting here in quarter number two talit Lee how about JC Sheldon with the pick for the pack out of Australia member of the Australian national team she had 10 assists in an Olympic game against Nigeria here is Odyssey surrounded counted and odyssey will go to the line contract in this leag rightfully so because she should have one s two what a nice move inside ship contract she had to be released when players from the wings came back that's going to be a foul Isaac Barnett makes the call you know and and coached he even talked about how much she loves IA get to see her play t no well you know Stephanie talbat she has a lot of Great Australian teammates that she looks up to picked up her third foul here is arque Works off the pick uses that right arm got a little space with talit and score Trail by 13 Jackson stays perfect Jackson again her first Miss stop the game bronze the ball other and when you look at the previous games I think it it shows just that oh good pass good pass 33 in one game second Team all Olympic team it's she those are very good numbers from Odyssey want to miss that then we'll take you behind the scenes today as the week Natasha can't get the roll no basket oh no I don't know I thought that basket was way back on July 10th oh they they definitely have the player when they decide that they want to play that way La get good contributions from their bench they're number two in the league and one of the reasons how great two man game by Natasha Howard 10 in the quarter for Howard and dier hamy Nails the she played all 40 games coming back from having a a baby is arque she's got 15 we inside of 10 to shoot Stevens brings tiar maau out and then she hits the three arque doesn't get the bouns aere fights for it collides loose ball foul that's the lead in this ball game by 16 wonder if she had something proed today [Applause] and she has 16 out of sets he said he's had to simplify it because of the injury beautiful pass Amy to talin how about that pass from had the ball I love the movement dear a nice pass to find how couldn't satu stops lets it go with eight on the shot Player of the Year outside long shot he has to give it up a re with two no and arque will hold on to [Applause] it teams not playing defense all that well she competes she plays really hard and I really really enjoy watching this kid play she's had anely because that was part of the problem we briefly mentioned it in that New York well it it was like the wings almost were W started playing a lot harder on the defensive end but to Siobhan's point and Coach T's Point yes they have got probably was a culture shock I mean player after player absolutely night in and night out you know we we were talking a little bit earlier before the game what I'm supposed to do and and when you talk about players that she's having to defend night in and night no nights off for that room no and and general manager ran people is de' H's got it in the the way she wants to play and what I love about de' is she Natasha Howard she's got 14 in the ball chips are so much easier when she's in the lineup here's arque step on the D tries to reverse it by the way that foul was on tal but that's her fourth mug when you renew log on to your AXS it's like we've done this before here's Odyssey oh Dallas is putting LA on the line that's the third and here is satu works on the rookie and the rookie wins that one being ghost scet in this defense and that defense and this offense lot to take in Ni has the quick hands forces the turn Jackson was getting more playing time early in the season in the ball game eight coming in this quarter and which I thought was a great comment gets the he's on the Olympic staff and he like CH Odyssey 22 in the ball game and then you know you talk about this matchup with JC on on Odyssey I I I love the match Ohio State spends a lot of time after practice working on her shot arque no handy the board that's Shu [Music] [Applause] saque shot clock reset to 14 the actually by the way tied going to second that yeah Here Comes Matty seagis to pull up from 13 floats and got it he's the only rookie averaging over 10 points per game and shooting over four now they got arque on her good pass hean nurse launches the three no LT telling the team yesterday that's unacceptable BTY no rebound and put back by satu that was close Aire buries the three been dealing with an injury all season long to passo Howard six in the quarter but Lee yuru the easy Odyssey Sims
