01:27over a minute played so far out to the left wing
01:34using the post moves to get the two points i'm not sure really in that set who was supposed to
01:41be on her there and apparently neither do the defenders when you look at this sun roster there
01:46are a lot of new faces a leading scorer dawana bonner is gone they also lost elissa thomas
01:51djanae carrington brianna jones three players who spent their entire careers with connecticut

04:17that is the first row of the game
04:20cut break to the d took the hit and drew the whistle but she was late to get there the
04:25ref couldn't give
04:26give her a free pass on that one
04:31sun on d the rebound by brittany griner
04:42and the officials now calling the shooting foul she got a lot of ball on the block but also got
04:49the body
04:49so some free throws coming up right now
04:55the first one falls you have to like how assertive petty could be out on the floor even when opponents
05:01have the upper hand physically she takes it to them
05:07she hits both from the stripe
05:13here's pow pow
05:16to the middle
05:18off to a good start as she hits her first shot at 10. she did so well to lead her
05:24teammate right to the ideal spot
05:26that's the kind of playmaking coaches like to see
05:29here's morrow

06:18and she gets the bucket
06:20their crisp passing has opened things up
06:23offensively
06:24yeah it makes the game easy 10 straight points off of an assist
06:28that's impressive
06:29there's a four second difference from the shot clock in game box
06:34here's petty
06:36second chance shot
06:38and a layup by miseman
06:40a monster on the glass miseman is not afraid of anyone
06:49here's hole

06:55a good close contest so far as we finish the first quarter
07:00sun ahead they're up by two
07:02let's take a quick break and then it's on to the second quarter after this
07:22and it's been a tight one here as the second quarter getting going
07:26and guys what's your take on the sun so far really putting in the work on the offensive glass
07:33they've set the tone here early with the hustle
07:43now here's miller defense is right there down low
07:48oh with the bucket great teamwork out there sitting the table for one another
07:52they're playing as one five straight baskets resulting from assists
07:56great team basketball
07:58now here's petty
08:04not gonna fall starting off slow she misses her first three from the floor
08:11the three drills it from outside how many times have we seen a possession like that from them today
08:18such a pretty pass i don't have an exact number for you but i can tell you it's
08:23we've seen them a lot okay let's just say that strictly using assists as the measuring stick
08:28they've been by far for better fees outside miller inside here's harrison
08:36the rebound by burke the sun trailing
08:44here in the second quarter with a little over a minute of play
08:48petty can't hit she can't get anything to drop and the way she's going it's probably not something
08:55to try to shoot her way out of and i'm sure her teammates would agree with that you know the
09:00last thing they want to see her doing is shooting it more now here's petty
09:07to hold the run and the layup is up and in how about the fearless nature of shea petty mixing
09:14it up down low
09:18outside miller
09:20that's to harrison
09:23and down it goes two points of their last six baskets five have come on the interior
09:30here this is smash mouth basketball guys yeah they're really imposing their will offensively
09:36and getting exactly the kind of looks they want miller one up one down she makes her first shot in
09:43this game it seems that every pass they make is leading to a score here just phenomenal ball movement
09:49everyone's looking for the best shot and it's paid off during this run
09:53nice shot by burke no good it's rare to see her come up empty on such a wide open hook
10:00elson adota with the rebound and we're now a little over two and a half minutes into the second quarter
10:09edwards defended by harrison
10:13on the wing shea petty

10:49and now about three minutes gone in the second quarter basketball
10:54that's the burrell
11:01there's the triple the shot is good on the assist by pow pow man their offense has really cranked up
11:09in
11:09the second quarter geez that build goal percentage is now in the 60s it's tough to beat them when they
11:15shoot it like that she put that lead pass on a platter for her here's juhas out to the right
11:21wing
11:22to the paint can't get it to fall and she's missed her second after making her first rivers
11:31and the layup's good off the glass
11:37how about with it
11:42and she lays it straight in they carried out the plan perfectly that time around
11:53the shot no good
11:58beats him uncovering
12:01past the pow pow

12:11and here's the sun they trail by six
12:24shot pocket six
12:29makes it off the glass
12:32that's a terrific move to the basket the defense played that one well but it didn't make any difference
12:38down low
12:39that's a good move to the top of the field
12:41that's a good move to the top of the field
12:48meets him on outside
12:51gets it to go from downtown
12:54an assassin from beyond the arc
12:56be someone can do so many things that other players her side
13:01simply can't
13:02it took her a little while to get into the flow of the game but she's turned it on here
13:08in the second quarter
13:14nelson adota
13:16it's over juhas
13:18got a hand on it
13:19such a versatile defender juhas affects each game with their shot blocking ability
13:26pow pow can't get it to go
13:32pass to mizaman
13:33pass to mizaman
13:40shoots a three they get the rebound
13:45can't tie it up
13:46can't tie it up as that one misses
13:48and the first half comes to an end we've got a close game going on here
13:53up by three and we'll step away briefly but get you right back out there for the start of the
13:58third quarter after the break
14:09oh
14:11oh
14:51Well, both sides have assessed what they need to do over the break, and we'll see if one can pull
14:56away in the third.
15:21The third quarter are now beginning. Both sides looking to pull away in the last half of the game.
15:28Nice to Burrell. Soft touch off the glass. And Connecticut has possession. It's a five-point game.
15:41And here's Morrow. Now here's Misman. Rivers. Good. And it's Emma Misman who picks up the assist.
15:53That's what I call pretty passive. Timely recognition as to where the open teammate was.
15:59Pass to Juhas.
16:08Here's Pau Pau. For three.
16:12Morrow with the rebound.
16:17To the left wing. To the middle.
16:21She's now made half of her ten shots in the game, and that's her fifth basket.
16:26She had her head on a swivel and was able to still pick up the pass and get the assist.
16:32Pass to Juhas.
16:36Pau Pau.
16:39Played in with a nice touch off the glass.
16:42Superb assist.
16:44She was crafty, creative, and the ultimate teammate on that play.
16:53To the paint.
16:55And here's Morrow.
16:56All sorts of time.
16:58No luck on that one.
17:02To the inside.
17:04Uses the glass to finish the layup.
17:07You know, they've been extremely efficient and effective getting the ball inside.
17:11Totally. I mean, we're seeing some real shortcomings from this defense.
17:15They've given up five stray good looks in the paint.
17:18Reiner with the screen.
17:26Rivers.
17:28Off target from three-point range.
17:31One item that stood out is their ball movement.
17:34Binks are definitely clicking, and more importantly, it's tough to defend.
17:38Burrell, no good.
17:39There was not a ton of congestion in the lane, and she could have done better for sure.
17:49Just over two and a half minutes gone by in the second half.
17:56Down low.
17:59And she converts the layup.
18:01That's the tenth straight point they've given up in the paint.
18:03It doesn't matter how good their perimeter defense is if they keep allowing easy looks inside.
18:13Inside.
18:14Miesaman.
18:15Terrific assist and a nice finish.
18:18Just a solid play all around.
18:21Offensive versatility allows Miesaman to play high or low in the paint.
18:32So, both teams changing it up here.
18:36So, both teams changing it up here.
18:47Pass to Juhasz.
18:50Over to the wing.
18:52Now, here's Hull.
18:55To the left side wing.
18:59To the paint.
19:01Today's game counts double.
19:03It's not just a regular season game.
19:05This one is part of the Commissioner's Cup as well.
19:07So, a victory would be twice as nice.
19:16And she knocks down the first one.
19:30And so, she makes both from the line.
19:33A little under two and a half minutes off the clock now in the third quarter.
19:38And they could use a big shot here to get this offense going.
19:41Yeah, too many empty possessions.
19:43I mean, it's simple.
19:44They need points.
19:49To the wing.
19:50Right side.
19:55And the rebound goes to the sun.
19:57That is such a low percentage shot.
20:01She's got to remember that she has four teammates out there with her.
20:05She doesn't need to do it all by herself.
20:14Pass to Burrell.
20:18And she was fouled in the act of shooting and opportunity for a three-point play.
20:24Nice work inside.
20:25Hard to get that one to go over the bigger defender.
20:28Well, it was never going to be easy.
20:30A little artistry on the inside.
20:32Call it maybe a Rembrandt.
20:36The sun trailing.
20:41Pass to Griner.
20:43Burden.
20:44Good.
20:45And the assist goes to Brittany Griner.
20:47She was one step ahead of the D in making that pass.
20:50Nice assist.
20:51You know, I had to do a double take just seeing Brittany Griner in a new uniform.
20:55Yeah, no longer with the Mercury after 12 marvelous seasons.
21:01Won a championship in 2014.
21:03Nine all-star appearances.
21:05Two scoring titles.
21:06Griner had an incredible impact in Phoenix.
21:09And it's good for two.
21:11You know what she wanted to do all along?
21:14The teardrop.
21:15The sun on offense.
21:17They trail by six to the inside.
21:21Griner, shot's good.
21:23And 10 of their last 12 points now have come off an assist.
21:27They're just moving the ball well, getting everybody involved.
21:30Out of bounds.
21:31It'll be sun ball.
21:33Not the kind of pass you want to be making right there.
21:35Lucky it wasn't stolen outright.
21:37So, it's both teams making substitutions here.
21:43And so, here is Connecticut.
21:49Pass to Petty.
21:50From past the arc.
21:52That shot off.
21:53Well, it wasn't a block officially, but it might as well been.
21:56She really affected that shot.
21:58Yeah, it was clearly her defense that threw her off there.
22:02Griner with the rebound.
22:04Well, they're in the lead, but she's still been frustrated offensively.
22:11Scott.
22:13And again, no good by Connecticut.
22:16Stock clock's off.
22:17This could be the last possession of the quarter.
22:18That's what they should have in mind.
22:20Don't let the opponents score again.
22:22Outside Miller.
22:24Bell.
22:32Ah, no good on the last second attempt there.
22:35The third quarter comes to a close.
22:38Up four.
22:39We're going to step aside for just a second, but join us right back here for the start of
22:44quarter number four next.
23:02And thanks for joining us again as the fourth quarter of play is set to get rolling.
23:07It's been a close battle to this point.
23:15Now, here's Petty.
23:17Pass to Burke.
23:19Now, Misuman.
23:22Here's Petty.
23:23Nelson Adota.
23:25And so she earns a trip to the line.
23:27Officials saw the contact.
23:29And she'll shoot two.
23:31That free throw, no good.
23:44Man, she's good on the second.
23:47Here's Pow Pow.
23:52Down low.
23:54Pass to Bell.
23:58She's covered by Edwards.
24:03Pow Pow gets the bucket.
24:05Fantastic pass.
24:06She made that a very easy bucket with the setup.
24:12Up top, Petty.
24:14Guarded by Pow Pow.
24:16Puts up a three.
24:18That one doesn't drop.
24:23Pass to hole.
24:26Here's Harrison.
24:28Here's Pow Pow.
24:29Petty defending.
24:31Now hole.
24:32Shoots.
24:34And yep.
24:35It finally drops after rolling around the rim.
24:38A bit lucky to get that shot to fall.
24:43Misuman.
24:44Hole defending.
24:48There's Nelson Adota.
24:54Mercury.
24:55Emma Misuman.
24:56Oh, yes, she did.
24:57Five up.
24:58Five down for her so far.
25:00It's easy to see when Misuman is feeling it.
25:05I mean, she just plays with so much passion and purpose.
25:09Now here's Harrison.
25:11Here's hole.
25:12And the layup is good.
25:14There's a pattern taking shape.
25:16They're working it inside and getting good shots from close range.
25:19Yeah, four of their last five baskets have been of exactly that variety.
25:23Now a timeout called by Connecticut.
25:30And the sun making a change here.
25:44And here's Connecticut.
25:46Six-point game.
25:51We're about two minutes into the fourth quarter in this one.
25:56Let's it go from deep.
25:59Rebound by Juhas.
26:00On an open look like that, she's just got a gift for making the weak coverage pay.
26:06That's a surprising miss.
26:08She's almost always deadly when she's that open, even from way downtown.
26:13Pow, pow, can't get it to go.
26:18Just under two and a half minutes gone by now in the final quarter.
26:23And again, Connecticut no good.
26:28To the middle.
26:29Here's Juhas.
26:31And she drops in the layup off glass.
26:34They've shown some great passing on their last few trips down the floor.
26:38You've got to imagine that their coach is very happy with that.
26:41Four straight passes leading to scores.
26:43That's just great team play.
26:45Now, here's Mishman.
26:48Yes, once again.
26:49And she remains a perfect six attempts, six makes.
26:54That's some tenacity inside, battling for the second chance points.
26:58Pass to Juhas.
27:04Oh, takes the three.
27:06Nelson Adota with the rebound.
27:12Here in the fourth quarter, just under two and a half minutes gone by.
27:16And she uses the glass on the layup.
27:43And they're holding on to the slimmest of leads.
27:46And they can't afford to let it get any slimmer.
27:49And that one's good.
27:51That pass led her so perfectly, she didn't even have to break stride.
28:00Down low.
28:02Uncovered.
28:03Reiner with the bucket.
28:05Getting it done inside.
28:06You have to be bold to succeed in big moments, guys.
28:10And Reiner shows that she's up for the challenge.
28:14Lays it up and in off the pretty assist.
28:18Unselfish basketball on the interior.
28:20That's the kind of pass a coach loves to see.
28:25To the paint.
28:26Here's Reiner.
28:28Lays it up and banks it in.
28:30Yeah, seeing over defenders contributes to Reiner's dominance down low.
28:36He's just lethal around the rim.
28:40Bangs home the trifecta.
28:42That was simply a defensive breakdown there.
28:46She was all alone for that shot.
28:49I mean, that's like a warm-up shot.
29:02She's guarded by Reiner.
29:05Passed to PowPow.
29:07And here's Burrell.
29:10Clock at six.
29:11The shot is good on the assist by PowPow.
29:14That is some dime-dropping.
29:17Exquisite assist.
29:19Connecticut trailing.
29:21Here's Misamun.
29:22Lucky seven drops right in.
29:24She's perfect from the floor.
29:26Seven for seven.
29:27I love Misamun's courage and confidence to not just take, but make the clutch shot.
29:35Here's Burrell.
29:41And the baseline jumper, no good.
29:44Well, that's just not a sight you see very often, because she has a great feel for that jump shot,
29:49especially when she's open.
29:55Wide open look.
29:57That shot off the mark.
29:58Well, sometimes, you're going to miss even the easiest of chances.
30:10And she commits the intentional foul.
30:25So, the first one drops, and that increases their lead to six.
30:38And she hits both free throws.
30:40And it's a seven-point ball game.
30:42The free throws go down, and the lead goes up.
30:46Timeout called the Sun.
30:47They're not ready to give up yet.
30:49They'll try to intentionally foul if they get a quick hoop.
30:52How did this time out?
30:53I'm sure that's what they're talking about.
30:55It's their only chance, and even then, it's a distant one.
30:59But I think, Ryan, they've got to take it.
31:25Oh, and that cuts the lead to just five.
31:30And an intentional foul right there.
31:46And that hurts, as she doesn't get the first one to fall.
31:50Really trying to focus now on the second.
31:56And she's able to hit the second one.
31:58And that increases their lead to six.
32:25Oh, and she's being acquainted.
32:27I don't know.
32:27I don't know if it's your turn.
32:28There are some kills.
32:29I don't understand well.
32:30I don't know if there are any other out of the way.
32:36puts up the three
32:38the offensive rebound
32:41from deep three point range
32:45so the home crowd
32:46have him here as they get the victory
32:48this was a fantastic ball game
32:50and they did a great job making sure
32:52it didn't get away from them
32:53yeah they faced some challenges but held firm when they needed to
32:56defensively, offensively
32:58effectively locking down the W
