lineup Sabrina and Williams unbelievable and there's Noel Quinn you coach and reah H just played for me we have a huge Crow first possession as he magregor turning going right to the window a little short on that one as good as any team in the WNBA stealing the basketball Nea Golding will'll get an exact total for you in the second half to the defensive end and to the rebounding def John quell Jones very Adept at the longrange shot but this one's off the mark up and down the floor oh cra be moved by SC setting the tone for this team and here's a rip and run Gabby Williams on her back to Stewie three on the way knocking at home and oh nice bounce pass from diin Smith the magore Fades on that one and thing when you watch Skyler is the cleverness you know it defensively Hammon like way to finish oh great feed inside janesu di Smith with the off hand lays it up she is a lefty can break you down Vander SLO snaps it home from three over Stewie the trailer phich she knocks it down Seattle now 118 on an 112 run is New York the good time and look at the dish over the top ncu gets the switch with eie on her self but like you said she's backing it up with work on the floor you heard a lone ball bouncing and it was sky for the storm another Olympian and Aussie oh nice feed inside and on what's I rings to their lineup by coach brondell and there's yancu putting it up playmaker and a finisher AUM just seems like every time I call him rebounded now kicked back out feeis Stewie inside against M standing Seattle Storm with the lead 343 you're watching the WNBA Friday night spot that emphatic block moments ago Alysa yeah she's going to give it what she's got but i' also talked to head coach Sandy Point three rebounds she leads all centers in the WNBA she was only 5'9 when she arrived at High School in the is already in this game G tries to make it another but Samy does that brings people up you can see her activity level there attractive basketball far and it's has them in bad defense are getting defined they're getting ready for the postseason both of them to Vegas there's neaum the one two and step back now ycu and the whistle and we're going the other way area they moov the ball very very well they look Jewel transition throws it up in movement and juwel in movement it's almost an times a game she gets fouled that is that is a lot of time she gets both of these and Seattle great crowd here in Seattle Sab through tra came in at the last break here's juel out of the corner that one's off the Hamilton in and out for that one how about the shot blocked by Joiner hes has two games off the bench she has a non-co illness in and out for juel Laney Hamilton knocking over Sammy Wickam finding this screen by Lloyd AUM spins to open space and for nea I I love that look at the game o that little with it fakes the pass and then uses the pick and roll gets an angle but now that's off one here at 33% yancu attacks 4 seconds left quarter of play call your friends they've never seen Lany Hamilton knocking over Sammy Wick finding this screen by Lloyd AUM spins to open space and for NECA I I love that look at the game o the little with it fakes the pass and then uses the pick and roll gets an angle but now that's off one here at 33% yanu attacks 4 seconds left quarter of play call your friends theyve never seen needle and no one is disappointed right now with the action get pass over the top nearly picked off Lane Hamilton now against diin all five of the turnovers in this game both these teams I think Gabby Williams circling around kicking it back defensive possession for New York oh the high low there was a miss out here's fic the three on on a run quickly they have an 80 push making it 30 diing Smith the Lefty from 16 joh Cole Jones with it back to Stewie three on the way making an 110 turnover by seatt battle and three in the corner they deliver offensively in a big way and they were down 2624 seemed like a blink of an eye with the lead you're watching the WNBA Friday night Spotlight presented diin Smith got to force it up does extremely dangerous in those situations 16 to5 one thing that juel Lloyd keeps saying is we need more deflections find their Shooters cuz a lot of their Shooters have been wide open and then they push after they get Steals and they did in the first five six that's one of the pieces of their culture and when they can effectively P he gets it back from sabali that one's off the the pick by gr pan Smith will attack and get on a long close out Stewie the big one to pass over to eie magore Corner shooter Victoria Vio run see the close out right there long distances Skyler and from three-point range that one's Off the Mark eie magore right at Sab Fades and hits hasn't done it since so she is not shooting the ball very often get her more shot attempts at the basket a DI Smith Fearless ready for this moment and you can see Skyler wanting Smith trying to keep Seattle close it's now prin coach a 21-6 advantage in game to game but I I will tell you right now this is going to be a got to be sturdy enough to make that last one at the end of the game that separat that was with the right hand the off hand court for those finishes Seattle at four they win games they're 11 and one when they make more threes in their opponent creating ball movement and creating the ability to finish from three here Vivien good three-point shooter oh in and out that one look diin Smith with the rip she gets it back she gets amazingly good at causing deflection 82 run and juel Lloyd try y sobly going in on juwel Lloyd has a size advantage but we have a whistle defense they had it for the first seven minutes they've had it for the last three they a storm team kind of directed into what they got to do defensively good Roll by Guma knocks down to for Seattle Storm basketball diing Smith as he M they were ready to blow this game open about four minutes ago but of their defense their ability to outnumber something that has been really in Seattle's fa coming this one they're already a plus seven they are up 103 on new and then you've got New York who is very comfortable in moving the basketball a huge crowd as you just saw there just a couple of years ago and all four of them are full I I'm looking up I'm seeing a f Seattle keeping the aggressive defense hands everywhere over him she can knock down a three and there's a three knock down right there by Vivian dial of play Jones the fade away tough shot Lloyd three boom boom it's 24 Bri TR je I remember from coaching juwel we talked about you know get n and mule their second round pick going crazy on the bench for her and get got her out of the game quickly Seattle a plus this one diin Smith attack he is fearless when the defense has to move and a bumping foul another diin Smith on the season is averaging 4 taking her output up since the break 17 and seven on ycu LY can she hit another one yes she can Stewie working hard in scoring man she got a touch here's NE working on digging Smith oh going auma with 1 second left misses that Seattle scores 51 that is the most scored what a game coach and standing by with Skyler dig got to pull out all the stops but just most importantly I like how we're competing started coughing it up well I thought that Seattle really responded deely again now for Seattle you know New York's going to make a charge there's starts with defense in that regard and Stewie's been absolutely a three three-pointers but you look at the team totals in this game see get it up and she does uncu from way deep and little bit off off balance good cut by Neca and the five five on the shot clock wide open as Vander slute can't get it to go jqu Jones this time a feix for three and she knocked your play has been nothing short of outstanding drewel lyd you know there's a lot of freedom you know in this league and I love that to the corner diam Smith why not three on the way and the foul an assistant coach and he said in the first half we allowed their best players playing off of the crowd it is Electric in here and he mentioned that he also Liberty team thanks Alysa coach what's the to will speak to it bringing teams in here andk and I love that I love coming here even no question absolutely a mainstream sport here in Seattle he the Houston Dash and the Utah Royals coverage begins at 7 War up two and going to the window and making it a fourth if you're Sandy Brun devil how do you cool down a player who but we're looking at plays right here where she's coming off in New York so Skyler Diggin Smith will get a free throw and knock it and now almost has 22 but she couldn't get that one to go jeel with it attacking unes efforts and and Seattle's doing it right here there's three and six when trailing after two quarters of play the defense of Seattle's playing take a look at the turnovers 10 one right how aggressive they' become and one of the ways to combat you're talking about ter line Stewie an example of that St diing Smith going downhill throws it away but no the foul with seven on the shot clock she goes right to the window and can't get it to go Brianna get over Laney Hamilton with Lloyd in her face that one's off good seal first foul on Brianna Stewart Gabby Williams knocks down was so good for France in winning that over her now switch to Gabby Williams and a foul on Gabby for the shot clock gets a wide open look that's her first good look in a long Seattle had him on the ropes gum misses and now the Liberty break night Pace janesu up and over e magregor no good it'll be Seattle basketball underneath storm hanging on to a four first game you watched Caitlyn Clark go for thir go Hamilton step back nice looking shot can't get it to go however weak side juwes sets her feet that one's off with teammate juel Lloyd they won championships together but this one's off the mar screen Williams accelerates a little too strong on the layup attempt and the foul on Skyler diin Smith couple stats that are just jumping out at me you know New York can for the liberty so you got a couple stats that are really intriguing to Jones in the lane as he stays high and shuffling in points off the prior 11 that is the reason they are ahead oh speaking to steps back 19f footer and snaps it home Lany hamilt today di Smith tries to whip one up gets Hamilton how about that move that was brilliant she you can see come time missed nine games the knee injury just came back on complet completely on balance janesu the and one and North South Drive change of speed just to make the right basketball play and she made it right there steal by Jean quell Jones three ball by yancu no good these are two teams going at it at a high level but you love it when they season high for diin Smith is 29 she's got 24 right now jcu three on the way trying to create and she is fouled by she's got 11 points and six assists yeah she's coming to live this game ly having officials do you know some of the best officials will I kind of relax and then right we kind of just move on together you know step up in this game I think in this third quarter you can see H how fantastic WNBA game diin Smith tries to create with the direction the official was pointing there and we are going to review to 49 but New York still with I I don't know if I see enough to overturn the call on the field that I think there's enough to conclusively overturn the call to Seattle you know 7 seconds on the shot clock here 51 second NBA title that year I I I do dick me how you use it I I think it's made the quality of the game do here's Jesu oh just snaps it home over to Skyler diin Smith she's been hot all night that one doesn't how about this one straight away Sabrina unesc setting the alltime record for most into the corner Gabby Williams at The Buzz that one's Off the Mark and we will including juwel Lloyd and including Dan Hughes clock for Joiner Holmes juel Lloyd against her former teammate right up on the deck has to go over Jean quell Jones which is continuing to escalate and there's Gabby Williams from behind pokes at three game coach for Seattle the points off turnovers where they are a back door cut and a brilliant one by got a great one going here hey SLO Stewie's open no problem the shot clock jees got a make a 30-footer that one's Off the Mark Stewie to bander SLO and knocks it down Smith can't get by Laney Hamilton has to just fling it up does get per team and that might not be one of them there but but she millness so not 100% and they they've worked on her minutes a little bit Sammy Wickham with it fading away and hitting right off the bat Pro that you're seeing she's always a great finisher they about great finish Stewie just kind of realizing this is the time players play Dem Wick she can create some space in there well she has year to year je Lloyd a tough Fade Away jump shot Thon three on theway no good right there John qu uses the NECA side of it gets fouled and there you you know be be discipline keep your hand straight up and it takes a breath Lloyd was 16 now 17 a fans next FR I'm watching this one dick F Dan Hughes with you from Seattle Storm Factor here in the next couple minutes Stewie against di Smith team out of your mouth the new New York Liberty and why not they've got a lead of three games through get her own rebound put it back up and auma big three needed for Seattle in and out this one is very unique that we're about to see there but watch her eyes she catches it here you know what I can get New York all of a sudden up eight excuse me 10 87 such a fine mover without the basketball she's wonderful with stat night 19 points seven assists five reu ly Hamilton air ball there is I was just in the storm time out and Noel Quinn visibly FR wide open as Lany Hamilton so all those offensive [Music] reats go don't don't I love that [Music] phraseology we can take a good look oh there it is on the PA cuz when I look at these numbers that's a huge separation New York diing Smith driving in trying to finish with the right and Seattle win on a 162 run by virtue of play got both hands on that Skyler's ability to save plays defensively usually New York we'll see if this one goes the way of Seattle of the Excellence of New York on this play you know some some of the reasons no question about it New York hold none of that number one spot now now we got stats about about coaches that's right we got little that's our a turnover on the Liberty everybody that follow how do you get better at rebounding with without having the practice Vegas closer to that four seed true but you but seatt challeng guarded by diin Smith she will fire away that feel because they aren't getting any defensive rebounds they missed offensive rebound Nea oh got him with one on the shot clock puts it up no good offensive rebound there is zero question why I mean it's like that possession right there playing out you know and that's that's a factor I think cuz New York kicks it out F stagger on the way there it is 140 three-pointers she has 12 points on four of five from behind morgant town playing for the West Virginia Mountain got a new offensive coordinator and Ryan grub new head coach after the free throws Vivien gets the Finish you know both these teams are going to learn from this game I you know well and it's a factor when you when you're talk you know when you're put in battles especially when they're shooting as well as they are and New York is just pump fakes fires it up no good 50 to 47% yeah they are seven against Lloyd right to the window and score I I I thought that was big AUM long range from Seattle as Sandy brondello and Noel give each other hugs and just it's a fabulous experiences and it's going to be interesting to watch where they both
