Sunday 26 points in the paint often times The Unsung here J Lloyd the reason why she's now dropped 20 plus in five of her last seven Post University post makes it personal Lloyd in the back court with diin Smith NECA AUM for the sun yes we've talked about first years as starters Marina maber can one today partner the adjustments should be fun to watch here we go round two Seattle Connecticut storm basketball Williams controls the pace of the offense love diin Smith off the ball she collects on the wing fourth in the W in assist Skyler diin Smith Smith first year in a storm uniform and she throws it away Stephanie white seconde head coach of the sun her fourth year overall as a WNBA head coach 51 victories still eight games to go in year two including tonight has done an exceptional job very proud of her team despite the fact they had some bumps at the end lost some discipline on Sunday how they closed out that ball game off the kneecaps of boner she recovers but just five to shoot for D boner over the timeline with three Hees carington PES at an offensive board attacks juw ly D Carrington Bol loads of confidence Carrington making herself being felt early with the offensive rebound and a putback at 14 points Sunday on six of nine shooting three steals for Carrington foul committed by Connecticut's Alyssa Thomas Noel Quinn in her fourth season third full campaign what did jul lyd just bring over to just a little confetti little confetti little Funfetti that fell on the court Noel said her team despite the two and five record out of the break they still have positive urg urgency still no Panic quite yet for Seattle they know they can do it before get hot diin Smith Tes up a three rebound bom there's no Panic from the from the storm as of yet because they're in the playoffs right now now it's about consisteny consistency both of these teams want to be starting to play at the highest level going into the playoffs Rim running big Bri Jones for zip Connecticut NECA auum T's up one left the three short Harris is on it in attack mode Tai Harris Blows By diin Smith a 60 Sun Run in the first minute 40 Ty Smith bringing the energy [Applause] early every Connecticut starter has average double figures this year Lloyd to three no Ty Harris bringing the energy early danana boner initiates offense Harris to the rescue Sun shot the ball well on Sunday 54% from the floor and as we said 65% in the paint caring toon up one leg swish in her bag timeout Seattle for the sun on Sunday Connecticut has risen to sixth in the league in points from the bench staying ready neaum smooth on the turnaround that is the reason why you can get always score in the paint with NECA is just out of a timeout trying to get something easy for the team Thomas takes matters into her own hands draws a foul and earns two at the line NECA gum the guilty party well it seems the Sun have found comfortability in rotations as of late under Stephanie white with mayb taking over as that first player Off the Bench it's now her sixth game coming off the bench consecutively in her nine games with the sun overall then you have Burton filtering in Olivia Nelson ad DOTA nice mix yeah they have a great mix of of players and I think the one thing that Ney does is if someone gets in foul trou she could really fill the void in any position and you know you have a change of pace when Burton comes into the game she is a different type of a point guard than Ty Harris Ty Harris is is a primary scorer scoring time point guard but Burton will come in and if you get offense out of her that's great but she's looking to get defensive stops as IM magor can stretch the floor averaging 12 a game eight and a half rebounds in the mix like d Carrington for most improved player bana Jones Stephanie white said we've got to be more aggressive getting her touches she's two for two she's two for two and starting off right where she left off last game and just filling the defense that was just great body control asserting herself the sun Ed their defense to fuel offense Harris makes the catch stay in bounds but threw it away Williams Maneuvers by Carrington and lays it in you're not stopping Gabby Williams once she gets a full steam ahead going towards the ren kuzo you must be proud of I am proud of her that's my girl kick it boner no little closer [Music] yes take her time and do it right Bonner hesitated on the first one but she gathered and knocked it down something else Stephanie white has harped on when we have those catch and shoot threes do not hesitate not hesitate and they get great looks and they have great Shooters so that's the last thing Stephanie white wants out of her players is second guessing the shot that was a mismatch right there bana Jones just took Skyler Diggins lunch money Carrington matched up with lyd and as a player sometimes you may not know that you're as open as you think you are but you're more open than what you think you are so it's a good idea to just catch it and shoot it Bri Jones what have you had for breakfast the last three days chicken noodle soup chicken noodle soup for breakfast and a soda on the side three for three from the floor six [Music] points on Sunday she was nine of 13 five to shoot for Seattle diing Smith off the dribble Outlet NECA Jones was wrapped up with magore got the box out halfway through the first Sun by nine Carrington fumbles it with a bit Gabby Williams looks to stay in front of boner contested isn't like a high flyer so she uses her body so well to get positioning and pin people underneath the basket get great passing angles to receive the ball and positioning for her to just turn and score she's not messing around down there and even when she doesn't get the ball you have to account for her
