00:00We've got some big games coming up.

00:04We're going to get to that in one second.

00:06This week, though, as I've said at the top, they beat the Sun.

00:10They beat the Mystics, which I think this is an impressive win

00:12because there was no J.J., because there was no Saab,

00:15because there was no T. Cloud in this game at all whatsoever.

00:17And those first two that you just mentioned were late scratches, too.

00:20Late scratches, too.

00:20So that's like running on the fly.

00:22Right.

00:22Late scratches, Saab questionable, was questionable early on the injury report

00:27and all that.

00:28But what do you think this win can do, these wins,

00:31I won't say these wins, for this week,

00:33what do you think it can do for this team as they head out west

00:36to play three games at Phoenix, in San Francisco against the Valkyries,

00:41and then at Seattle?

00:43What do you think this week can do, especially this Mystics win?

00:46Do you think that's the kind of win that can spark this team,

00:48healthy or not, as they try to move forward and close out the season?

00:51I really do because this is like one of those springboard wins.

00:54Like they did a lot of, they made an adjustment at halftime when it came

00:58to defense, played a lot more zone, and they had success playing zone.

01:02And so, you know, seeing that they're able to make those in-game adjustments,

01:05you know, they gave up five offensive rebounds in the first four minutes

01:10or less, and then they only gave up one at the rest of the game.

01:15So I think that you see, or maybe even two, but you get my point.

01:18You see that they were able to clean it up and make the adjustments.

01:21And so, you know, this game, like they rebounded the ball really well.

01:25They played good team defense.

01:26They didn't turn the ball over a lot.

01:28They made smart decisions with the ball.

01:30They did a really good job with their slot shot selection

01:33and making sure that they're not forcing things.

01:35And they also got to the free throw line 20, 28 times.

01:39That's a wonderful number.

01:41They were aggressive in driving.

01:42They were aggressive.

01:43They were aggressive in driving.

01:43Yeah, so I do think that this is that springboard win

01:46that can really help, you know, set the tone

01:47and also give you that feel-good vibe despite being down so many players

01:53heading into a very pivotal final two-week sprint.
