particularly against the Chicago Sky Reese on the inside Powers with an Up and Under and goes off the glass losing game stretch and of course four of those games without the leading score and Kennedy Carter back in the lineup tonight she's got it in the corner whips a pass inside of cardoso and Kennedy did just enough on that field goal attempt to disrupt Ray and finishes with the finger what a start tonight for Kennedy [Applause] Carter Kennedy looks like she's well rested she looks like someone who set out the last four games another forc turnover by the [Music] sky barell off the ball screen downhill into the defense it's blocked off of barell and back to the sky is so good at getting a defender on her hip and turning the corner and against any other [Music] pan him off the bench and right away makes an [Applause] [Music] impact Sims bounces to Hy Angel Reese gets a hand in it to take it away Bantam thought about it one more to the shields lines up a three and [Music] connects got it right into her but couldn't take advantage it's a one and done for the Sparks The Shield skips crosscourt ban him right away for three got it this is what Teresa Weatherspoon envisioned when she came here but when you can find Rachel banam for a spot up Corner three Angel race muscles to the cup can't lay it in rebounded by Stevens all four points in the quarter for the Sparks have come via the free thr of rakia Jackson banam off the screen got another great start off the bench tonight for Rachel banam but first let's take another look at this Rachel banam three three for three for the newest member of the Chicago Carter bounces inside to Angel re who lays his in right ahead of the shot clock he would love to see Chicago run more pick and roll looking for the roller versus the ball ER coming off but when that post player rolls hard Camila cardoso Angel Reese Isabelle Harrison it puts a lot of pressure on the interior defense Diamond to Shields off the hesitation with a chance at three Diamond the shields is at her best when she's not thinking when she's just reacting to what the defense is giving her when she's just putting her head down being aggressive looking to turn the corner and get to the rim this is a 2000 none of them are Bonafide Superstars and so Kurt Miller recog izes that so he likes to go with the hot hand right now she's got a game High 13 got the ball in the wing now rejects the screen good defense from the shields pass is knocked away on Onan stop and pop from 15 she buries it four quick points from Michaela Onan wed forces a timeout So Good In transition with her size her ability to pull up and Rise great run and answer by Chicago Harrison in the paint slides by the defender and goes off the [Applause] window kert Miller is bringing all kinds of heat into the paint any time Chicago gets him to paint Isabelle just goes to the bench after picking up her second foul goes right through the hands of Lee [Applause] talit off the screen pass knocked Away by Onan wed can't get it to go off the [Applause] glass Carter great feed onion wed hits Chicago just plus one on the glass tonight for the best rebounding team in the W Allen catch and shoot got it stretches especially since Olympic break and even the game where they beat Las Vegas headed into the Olympic break where Lindsay Allen was Chicago's five-point Chicago lead trying to end a seven game losing streak Reese has one-on-one against Stevens and floats it [Applause] in shot clock at five onion wed spins Fades and connects and not just the offense but she kind of took over her role as being the top Defender as well Allen steps back off the screen and buries the three Lindsay Allen has shown the ability to score she's known as a pass first point guard but Allen working off the ball screen this is Reese with two to shoot right at it and Banks it in four assist that's what they've been missing the last few games not just Kennedy scoring although trust me you're going to miss 17 points game but you're also going to miss dimes like that Kennedy Carter's ability to penetrate creates opportunities for other players because the defense has to help how she hasn't even tapped her potential yet wants to be a stretch four but she needs to have some Grace with herself and wants other people to have Grace with her too as she's still learning as a rookie Zia cook is a is a high volume scoring guard and this is what she brings she brings a different look to the LA Sparks back court she doesn't need screams she doesn't need sets run for her she can create her own what a pass inside from Carter to Angel Reese and she's got a chance at a three-point play Angel Reese thank you for that ball screen and that nice assist that is a nice kin to Barbie connection and Angel going at the biggest they have extended the lead up to a dozen final 6 seconds of the quarter Allen gets double team cardoso for 17 ft away buries it with one on the timer cam Camila cardoso shot that like she practices these 17t jumpers all the time Noah Atlanta who won in overtime tonight and Teresa Weatherspoon refuses to use the word pressure well she was too cold it's cuz she had to sit the whole third quarter hand being swatted by cardoso cardoso has been having an absolute block part 30 since coming back the shields double team skips to the corner race inside to cardoso oneon-one muscles it up no race the follow in their development let's talk about Camila cardoso she's going to develop and get rid of that dribble but you know what it's not so bad when you've got your fellow skyscraper coming in out of nowhere Jackson thought about the three after 15 in the first half she has not scored here in the second Hami leans in against cardoso who might have got a piece of it there's a difference between coaching a team and leading a team and I think Teresa weather is doing a phenomenal job of leading her young inexperienced team Angel Reese it's not that she's always in the right place at the right time she works as soon as she thinks that one of her teammates is going in to score then she starts to put herself in position Carter bounces to re pass deflected by Hami but they give it right [Applause] back Carter one on two finds cardoso Hollywood and I realize that we're in the heart of Illinois right now but she is bringing the Hollywood to win trust arena with plays like [Applause] that she's double teamed and she's able to fight through the double team reee lines up a three and got [Music] it it's an absolute charm and if they're going to keep daring you to shoot it and you practice it Let it Fly that's what Diamond the shields was trying to do the last time she went to contest de Erica Hy's transition layup great adjustment by the vet Carter slicing and dicing through the defense what a night for Kennedy Carter Chicago has to be much more intentional about getting back in transition but Kennedy Carter she's just playing around [Applause] now Stevens knocked Away by Turner
