[Music] foreign [Music] Sports welcome in everybody during the Washington Mystics as they go up against the Dallas Wings here with Tim Schwartz and Brian bannifatemi I'm Blake suniga and it's good to have you with us team group was Unreal Brittany Greiner Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins Smith those are three top picks who have all been perennial All-Stars and in my mind they're all Hall of Famers as well and I really love the 2016 class for two reasons Brianna Stewart Jonquil Jones both MVP loud clock at six [Applause] Elena Delle Donne on the wing really left alone that time to the left wing here's McAllen and she makes that one I mean come on you think a little Taft is going to stop McAllen no way she's just too tough [Applause] delladon [Applause] yeah in her second season in DC Delle Donne led the mystics to the first WNBA finals they ended up falling for the storm but what about year three in 2019 Elena was named MVP and Washington wanted on guarded by sabaly loud inside and she's good on the three ball now here is Sykes good work defensively by Natasha Howard to the inside McCowan with the bucket obviously McAllen 6-7 size helps his down low but she also has a little host of wins ale [Applause] the pick and roll game is the bread and butter for Oberman Wale loves working on eye points in the game three from Christy Tolliver Tasha Howard with the rebound just like me nine times out of ten she's gonna bury the three when she's left all alone the plan worked perfectly that possession Celadon outside trying to get back on track and the rebound ping off as they pick [Music] outside the three-pointer is on target with the ability to get off quick releases can Excel Dangerfield outside [Applause] and she takes it in for the layup off a very nice team the type of player who rather get an assist would get a big leg up on the competition now here's Hawkins Oliver up top moves over Dangerfield gets the 14-footer to fall [Applause] Austin with it McGowan defending and basket is good and material Austin grew up in Fredericksburg Virginia just a bit south of Washington DC years to come and Hawkins pulls it down that is such a low percentage shot she's got to remember that she has four suits misses off the right iron well that's just not a sight you see very often because she has a great feel for that jump shot especially when she's open you just knew she was gonna win that race Mystics trailing guarded by sabaly Della Don gets the bucket I think Toliver was born to assist because it seems like [Applause] can operate in either role of the two-player games from 13 feet down and over and here's Atkins drains the three-pointer perfect screen since 2016 but before that they had two other stops as a franchise joining the league in 1998 in Detroit and then a move to Tulsa in 2010. that's a good luck that is a good looking [Applause] here's Cloud out to Atkins here's Austin the shotgun on the assist by Ariel Atmos going back to when the defense taking on the identity of their City Dicky no good [Applause] and here's Washington [Applause] they've only allowed Oliver started now by a Google Wale he's now made half of her 10 shots in the game clock at six Pastor Tolliver and yes here's Dickie back to Korea she makes that one drop only in her second and five goals Bonnie tripped down the court for this team he's getting yeah just one season with the winning record but now that they've settled in the Big D they are much more comfortable in Texas so I expect the 2020s to be much more fruitful for the wings I don't know if you got that passed off I'm not for sure she was gonna take the shot [Music] [Applause] it's good and she knows the contact on the shot so she'll go to mine three-point play opportunity to 2016. Washington didn't win a single playoff series for 14 straight Seasons what a success now here's Tolliver he has six to the paint McAllen yes and it's Crystal Dangerfield picking up the assist it's so fun to see McAllen pour it in tonight shot clock at five now Austin McAllen defending the three from Crystal Culver that's good and that's her fourth basket of the game a rebound by zawi B oh it's Washington now two minutes they've led by as many as 11 points here Sykes that one goes in for the first back to McGowan stolen by Zoe B and here we go there's Oliver and that comes off the assistance outside tipped Eight Second difference between the shot clock and the game clock to the paint uses the glass to finish the layup well you simply have to be aware of Natasha Howard inside when she's outside here's Sykes from outside Off the Mark and we've reached halftime in this one Mystics ahead leading by nine and we'll be back right after halftime to get the third quarter underway can have about to start in just a few moments side Howard deflected here's Sykes [Applause] [Music] she can't get that one to fall so Dallas will take it the other way and there it is Pastor Burton Howard she's guarded by sights and here's Burton it's stolen by Natasha cloud yes and it's Elena Della Howard back to soberly and the layup is good after a nice another thing that makes Britney's Sykes different you don't want to give up that kind of look often they're very lucky they didn't get burned and that one goes in as she's fouled it'll be three points shooting one first personal foul teams first [Applause] thank you the other way here's Sykes rebound Dallas third quarter action in just under three and a half minutes of pass here's Burton here's McCowan Lucky Seven drops right in for rookie here [Applause] now here is sites and count it two points with a chance for one more at the line from her goal of scoring buckets and winning games so why would a little contact she made the only free throw attack with it she's guarded by Sykes outside Howard that's in coming off an assist from a wakuya a great possession Korea working it to the wide open teammate I mean that's a nice trip down Celadon 14 points for her and that one's good those two points almost a sure thing are they able to get them [Music] yeah now here's a gumawale defended by Atkins inside Louisa and she drops in the layup off the bat and with Delle Donne the league certainly missed their ground inside and that comes off the assist by nastakuya Dickey back to Korea block at four and down it goes two points they gotta at least get a finger on oh it's Washington now [Applause] 13-point lead Atkins back to Korea a good finish at the rack off the Slick feet outside agumawale over to the left wing and again it's the wings from DC and just has a feel for when someone on Earth [Applause] [Music] y burial Atkins all good and Dickie defended by Atkins [Applause] meladon outside pass to Atkins [Applause] makes it off the glass hustling her way through now here's Dangerfield she's covered by Toliver lets it Go and Dallas again with the bucket [Applause] just five on the clock here's how we be and another three to the paint the lead pass was put in just the right spot to produce Kaleo [Applause] and the lead is down inside single digits I love sabu's work off the dribble especially when she's moving and the competitive fires with is amazing outstanding job to convert through the challenging defense first trip to the free throw line for bird eye [Applause] down to five on the shot clock [Applause] and she finishes nicely on the layup with the nice touch around the rim Sykes doesn't miss many opportunities off Target with the free throw line Jay now outside Howard have one fall coming off the attacking mindset of Howard when she gets a good look inside she doesn't pass it up second minute off the clock now in the fourth no good back to sabalu and she trims the lead to single digits well because of the versatility satsu sably can give this team five to shoot [Applause] one is off good d by Natasha Howard outside soberly and you can count it she'll go to the line with a chance to make it three Urban player a true worker [Applause] no good unable to end this run inside count the bucket coming off a perfectly placed assist and they have gotten themselves [Applause] drops in the layup for two in the foot quarter it looked like it was just going to be a formality but their offense picked up at exactly the right time something gave them to get it back the mystics again can't hit the wings Trail Burton Al McGowan from down in the low post it goes neither team here in the fourth generating a lot of Separation started by sabaly sticks to shoot [Applause] pass to actions gonna stop the drought yes and it's Elena Delle Donne [Applause] he can't get that one Elena Delle Donne with a defensive effort here's sites beautiful dish and the layup goes down inside McAllen defended by Atkins the bucket is good and you'll have a chance for one more Ariel it's gonna be on aerial actress a sensational run has them on the verge of tying it up or maybe even taking the lead it's been an unreal turnaround and I'm gonna credit their defense but [Applause] so Dallas will take it the other way and McCowan grabbing those offensive boards what a luxury that is really for any team so when you have someone like McAllen you can turn missions into mate get those bonus Second Chance points just the threat of McAllen on the oh boards it also collapses the D and that opens up Cowan started by Austin what a nice shot by abundance and here's Washington [Applause] meladon basket counts that basket [Applause] win count that one nice play by the ball game Clue and McAllen finding an opening using roll just five to shoot back to Lou malale brings it from Beyond The Arc will it it wasn't already out of reach it is now thanks to the support that they're having the Wale with it and so it's Dallas easily grabbing this one some good moments throughout this one but they have the clear Advantage down the stretch yeah somebody did a great job of execution both the offensively defensively playing and control when they had a misstep they got right back to work and made up for it that'll do it for our broadcast everyone [Music]
