00:04Hello, and welcome to this 2K Sports presentation of the WNBA and the Seattle Storm.
00:11In the booth with Tim Swartz and Brian Benefitemi, I'm Blake Suniga, and we're glad to have you
00:16along for the ride.
00:19Hope you guys brought your seatbelts.
00:21These teams fly up and down the floor.
00:24I'm strapped in.
00:25I'm locked in.
00:25I'm ready to go.
00:26This is a matchup I've been looking forward to.
00:28I love these fast-paced ones.
00:30Yeah, me too.
00:31But the big question is, who can slow the other one down?
00:34I also think dictating the pace is going to be key right here.
01:02It'll be the Storm off the tip.
01:06Inside.
01:07Malunga.
01:08Well-timed pass and goes straight to the bucket for the layup.
01:11Nice make for her as they get the scoring started.
01:14Yeah, she gets it going, and hey, who knows?
01:17Maybe a big night is in store for her.
01:20Pass the pow pow.
01:21Pass the pow pow.
01:22Pass the pow pow.
01:23Over to the wing.
01:24Over to the wing.
01:2618 feet out.
01:28Shoots and misses.
01:290 for 1 to begin the game.
01:34Heidemann.
01:35No good.
01:35Good.
01:36That's a surprise.
01:37Out of character for her to miss those when the D's not right in her taste.
01:41Here's Juhasz.
01:43Here's Juhasz.
01:43Good for the basket starting off 1 for 1 with that shot.
01:46Well, when Juhasz gets that kind of positioning inside, she usually makes the most of it.
01:56Now, here's Brown.
01:58Covered by Carrington.
01:59Takes a step back.
02:01Down low.
02:03Malunga.
02:04Good.
02:05Nice pass.
02:06She got that ball right into her teammate's shooting pocket, and it yielded great results.
02:14Pass to Juhasz.
02:17Hold.
02:20Now, Juhasz.
02:23The baseline J.
02:25Brown grabs the board.
02:30Horst in with it.
02:32Juhasz is there.
02:33A nice shot by Magligore.
02:35I like how Magligore picks her spots on offense, knows when to look to score inside.
02:40And last year, it was a great sophomore season for Jordan Horstin.
02:44Well, she made major leaps.
02:46Top five in both most improved player voting and sixth player of the year.
02:50Horstin was so much more efficient from the field.
02:53Now, here's Horstin.
02:58And the shot goes down.
03:00They're off and running.
03:02They've knocked down four of their first five.
03:07Pass to Juhasz.
03:08Pass to Juhasz.
03:10Ezi Magligore.
03:11Nice defense.
03:13And now they're one for five to start this game.
03:15Having trouble getting it going.
03:18And she gets the bucket.
03:19Hey, look.
03:20If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
03:22They keep getting in the paint, and they keep scoring points.
03:25And you know, Brian, there's not really a lot you can do as a defense when they keep getting in
03:31the paint like they have been on this run.
03:33Now, here's Carrington.
03:37Shot clock at six.
03:42Looking to end the run.
03:43Misses off the right iron.
03:45Awesome defense.
03:46I mean, she's gonna hit those unless you're right in her throat.
03:50And there's the call on Carrington.
03:52That's her first foul.
03:55First personal foul.
03:57First team foul.
04:06And here's the Storm now.
04:08Pass to Brown.
04:09A three ball.
04:10You know, despite that miss, a strong start for them offensively.
04:15No doubt.
04:16I mean, look.
04:16They're scoring with confidence.
04:17And when you can score with confidence, that really helps set the tone.
04:21They're making them count in the early going.
04:24And here's Pau Pau.
04:28Juhasz can't get it to go.
04:30Terrific D.
04:31That's how to protect the rim.
04:33Pass to Brown.
04:38And here in the first quarter, a little over three and a half minutes played.
04:42A chance there to push it to double digits, but it's off the mark.
04:46Faked in off the glass.
04:48That's where you like your shots to come from.
04:52Seattle in the lead.
04:56Now here's Malanga.
05:01Flexi Brown on the wing.
05:05Takes the three.
05:07Rebounded by Pau Pau.
05:09You know, it's not been the best quarter for her as far as scoring.
05:13We'll see if she can get back on track.
05:18To the paint.
05:20And it's Seattle with the rebound.
05:25Now here's Brown.
05:27On the wing, Jordan Horson.
05:30Pass to Heideman.
05:33Left side, Malanga.
05:35Clock at six.
05:37Nice move.
05:39And it's good on the land.
05:41Yeah, that's not nearly the kind of defense that's going to prevent the player of her ability from scoring.
05:49Malanga covering.
05:51To the inside.
05:54Harrington outside.
05:56With her first shot attempt.
05:58That shot off the mark.
06:01And it's the Storm with the ball.
06:03Pass to Heideman.
06:05Now Malanga.
06:07Flexi Brown on the wing.
06:10Horsten.
06:12They get it again.
06:13And that one good.
06:15It's not hard to see why they're giving up points on this run.
06:18Just too many looks from in close.
06:20You know, usually when teams give up runs like this, it's because they allow chances from inside.
06:26Make them beat you from deep.
06:28I can see.
06:31That one good.
06:32They need to beat you from deep.
06:33You know, finally.
06:36That one good.
06:37One good.
06:47Here's Miller.
06:50Pass to Harrison.
06:52And here's Burrell.
06:54She's guarded by Samuelson.
06:56And there's the whistle.
06:57That goes on Harrison.
06:59That's her first foul.
07:01Great play to sacrifice her body.
07:03Take the charge.
07:05Giving up her body for the team.
07:07And really a heads-up play as well.
07:10Reads the play nicely and gets in the perfect position.
07:13Here's Melbourne.
07:15Shot from 12.
07:20Tries again.
07:21Hits some marim on the way in.
07:23And the bucket's good.
07:24They keep going down low with the ball.
07:26And it keeps resulting in points.
07:29Extremely positive.
07:30I mean, that's a very nice lead to have this early in the ballgame.
07:33They've come out on fire out of the gates.
07:36First quarter concludes.
07:37And a double-digit lead on the scoreboard.
07:40Storm out in front.
07:41They lead by 12.
07:43Hold tight.
07:44We've got more basketball action headed your way.
08:04A lopsided first quarter in the books as we get ready to begin the second quarter.
08:09And, guys, we've seen a confident-looking storm team out there.
08:13It's been a lopsided affair as far as the rebounding goes through one.
08:17You want me to tell you what stands out in this game, I'll tell you what's standing out to me
08:21in this game.
08:22Look, as soon as the ball is hitting the rim, they're just crashing the glass.
08:26Solid job.
08:28Here's Miller.
08:33Pass to Harrison.
08:37Miller.
08:39Out to the right wing.
08:44Shot for 12.
08:45Jump shot is good.
08:47Terrific assist.
08:48That was a diamond from Miller.
08:52And it's the Storm with the ball.
08:54In the draft, the Seattle Storm took Don Meek Malunga with the second pick.
08:58It was their highest pick since 2016 when they took someone by the name of, I think, Brianna Stewart?
09:03That's her name?
09:03First overall?
09:04Yeah.
09:04I'd say that one worked out.
09:06Storm got the 6-6 Malunga.
09:08An incredible prospect from France.
09:10She's got such a bright future.
09:13She is one of the best when it comes to making the sweet lead pass.
09:19Pass to Cook.
09:22Here's Kubai.
09:24Now Dolson.
09:25Defended by Harrison.
09:29Misses the baby hook.
09:31Just over a minute gone here in the second quarter.
09:34To the middle.
09:36Fouled hard that time.
09:39And she'll get two shots at the line.
09:49First free throw is good.
10:03And she makes both free throws.
10:08Here's Brown.
10:12Out to the wing.
10:15Here's Heideman.
10:17Forsten.
10:21And here's Kubai.
10:23Six on the shot clock.
10:27Here's Heideman.
10:29And the Storm.
10:31Miss again.
10:34Pass to Pow Pow.
10:39Here's Burrell.
10:43Doesn't go that time.
10:48On the wing.
10:49Jordan Horstin.
10:51Yep.
10:52That goes.
10:53Look at Horstin getting aggressive inside.
10:56Working for the high percentage look.
11:02Hall with the ball.
11:04And it's off from three-point range.
11:10Inside.
11:11And the basket by Kubai.
11:13Their prowess inside has just been tremendous, guys.
11:17It's been no contest on the low block.
11:19And really, Brian, until the defense puts up at least some resistance, they ought to just keep pounding them down
11:27low.
11:27They've got a big lead, not just on the scoreboard, but in the rebounding numbers, too.
11:32Yeah, it's been a gritty performance and a physical brand of basketball, but, hey, that's how you win.
11:38Bring your lunch pail.
11:39Pass the hole.
11:42Juhasz.
11:43Guarded by Dolson.
11:45Juhasz.
11:45That's good.
11:46That's a strong, strong move by Juhasz.
11:51Time called here.
11:52The Storm decide to talk it over.
12:25Pass to Brown.
12:29Malunga.
12:30J. Doubler with Carrington.
12:35Alexi Brown on the wing.
12:37Five on the clock.
12:40No good of front iron.
12:43If only she can improve on what's been a shaky day for her.
12:47They could really stretch this lead out, don't you think?
12:51Pass to Juhasz.
12:53To the paint.
12:55She makes that one drop.
12:56Only her second in five goes.
12:59Beautiful dish down low.
13:01Seattle leading.
13:05And here's Heidemann.
13:09Max McGregor.
13:10Good on the bucket.
13:12When you defend the pick and roll, if Max McGregor is the screener, it is really tough to contain.
13:20Pass to Juhasz.
13:23Pau, Pau.
13:25Here's Holt.
13:27That three off the mark.
13:32Run loads from 13 feet.
13:34Now Brown.
13:36Here's Heidemann.
13:38Drops in the tray.
13:39I tell you, she loves getting looks like that for three-point range.
13:45Just nobody near her.
13:47Well, at the 2024 games in Paris, Dominique Molunga helped France capture silver.
13:52Yeah, at just 18 years old, she was a key part of that France team.
13:58That performance, a big reason why she went so high in the draft.
14:03Pass to Magregor.
14:05Down low.
14:07Shot from six.
14:09And she wills that one in, sinking right through off the back iron.
14:15They trail by 14.
14:19To the inside.
14:21Oh.
14:22That one goes in.
14:23Well, we've seen Lexi Hall has some range, but she can also slash, bring it inside.
14:28And the Storm with possession.
14:32Here's Heidemann.
14:35And the three off target.
14:39Lexi Hall on the wing.
14:40Pass to PowPow.
14:45Hits the jump hook.
14:46You know, it wasn't the best start for her, but she's shaking it off here in the second.
14:54Now Magregor.
14:56Six points for her.
15:06Pass to Brown.
15:07The tray.
15:09Ooh, no luck on that one.
15:13And we finished one half of play.
15:16It's the Storm.
15:18Leading by 10.
15:19And time now for the halftime break.
15:21With the third quarter soon to follow on 2K Sports.
16:23And the second half about to start in just a few moments.
16:27And what a performance we're seeing out there by Magbagor.
16:31Sheer dominance in the post by her so far.
16:34Just tearing them to shreds when she gets the ball inside.
16:37And getting it to her is the only hard part.
16:40Because once she's got the rock, she's automatic.
16:54Now here's Pau Pau.
16:56She hasn't yet put up any points in this one.
17:00Here's Carrington.
17:02Good on the shot.
17:04And that shaves the lead to single digits.
17:07Great teamwork out there.
17:08Setting the table for one another.
17:10They're playing as one.
17:11Five stray baskets resulting from assists.
17:14Great team basketball.
17:15Yes, it's good.
17:17Well, she's been reliable again today.
17:20They need her points.
17:20And she's providing them.
17:24Pass to Juhas.
17:27Carrington.
17:29To the left side wing.
17:31Now Hull.
17:34Carrington.
17:35She's covered by Brown.
17:37No good on the three.
17:39With the success they've had in rebounding the basketball,
17:42they're right where you'd expect them to be.
17:43And that's firmly in the driver's seat.
17:46Rebounding, it's an effort stack.
17:49They've been the more determined team to this point.
17:55Yep, that one goes.
17:57Good pass work.
17:59The assist was right on target.
18:01Now a timeout called by Seattle.
18:12Now a timeout called by Seattle.
18:28And the Storm with possession.
18:31They're leading by eight.
18:33Here's Magmagor.
18:35Plays it in without an inch of room around her.
18:38Forceful drive by Magmagor.
18:40Kind of daring the defense to get in her way.
18:44Pass to Pow Pow.
18:49Here's Juhas.
18:51She has six.
18:53Now here's Carrington.
18:55Shot clock at five.
19:00Pow Pow on the lead.
19:02Oop.
19:02There's the 24-second violation.
19:05So they'll turn it over.
19:15Two minutes gone in this third quarter now.
19:20Pass to Heidemann.
19:23Screen by Magmagor.
19:28Heidemann, no good.
19:29Good.
19:33And here's Pow Pow.
19:35Looking for a first basket still on this one.
19:38Count it.
19:39They're working in nicely right there.
19:43Seattle in the lead.
19:48Just under two and a half minutes into this third quarter now.
19:51Here's Heidemann.
19:52No good from 11 feet.
19:54Wow.
19:55I thought that was absolutely automatic.
20:00Down low.
20:03Pow Pow gets the bucket.
20:05There, Chris, passing has opened things up offensively.
20:09Yeah, it makes the game easy.
20:11Ten straight points off of an assist.
20:13That's impressive.
20:15Here's Brown.
20:17Here's Malunga.
20:19Hole with the rebound.
20:21Another shot.
20:23Count the basket.
20:24He has shot the ball exceptionally well as they built this lead for themselves.
20:32Pow Pow with it.
20:35Juhasz.
20:36Defended by Magmagor.
20:39That's good.
20:40Basket number five on a five-for-eight shooting night.
20:43They've shown some great passing on their last few trips down the floor.
20:47You've got to imagine that.
20:48Their coach is very happy with that.
20:49Four straight passes leading to scores.
20:52That's just great team play.
20:54Yeah, late reaction for the defense.
20:56She's always going to convert that.
21:16Second half here,
21:18and we're just over three and a half minutes into it.
21:20Aston Burrell.
21:22Pow Pow.
21:24That one drops for her.
21:26You know, they've been extremely efficient and effective getting the ball inside.
21:30Totally.
21:31I mean, we're seeing some real shortcomings from this defense.
21:34They've given up five straight good looks in the paint.
21:38Shoots on the block.
21:39Again, Seattle.
21:41Again, Seattle.
21:42Dave Eberman.
21:48Now, Pow Pow.
21:50On the wing, Dijanae Carrington.
21:53Juhasz.
21:55Right wing.
21:56From 18 feet away.
21:59Burrell, no good.
22:00They are really getting the work done inside with their rebounding tip.
22:04They haven't allowed many second chances.
22:06It's been one and done for the most part.
22:08And that's helped them build this lead.
22:11That one's a foul.
22:12It's called on Pow Pow.
22:14That is her first foul of the game.
22:17Number 31.
22:18Stephanie Dolson.
22:26Here's Horstin.
22:29Pass to Dolson.
22:31From outside the yard.
22:36Now, here's Horstin.
22:37Guarded closely.
22:39Here's Brown.
22:40Fires from deep.
22:42It's hold in by Burrell.
22:44He's been eyes pulled.
22:45Unable to contribute offensively.
22:48Pow Pow.
22:48Pow Pow.
22:52Now, hold.
22:55Pass to Pow Pow.
22:58Over Brown.
22:59Connects on the foul line jumper.
23:01They've raised their field goal percentage to up over 50% now.
23:06They look like a different team in the second half.
23:10Melbourne.
23:11Count it from 12 feet.
23:12Got to play tougher.
23:14That was too soft on her.
23:16That close to the rim.
23:20Carrington up top.
23:21She's covered by Brown.
23:25Pass to Burrell.
23:27Carrington outside.
23:29Now, hold.
23:32Inside.
23:34Pow Pow gets the bucket.
23:36That's their third straight make off an assist.
23:40And it's always good when you can score points by getting teammates involved.
23:43Yeah, that's just great ball movement.
23:49Magmagor up top.
23:50She's got 10.
23:52Count that one.
23:53Another bucket for Magmagor.
23:55She's feeling it tonight.
23:56They have to continue to run offense for her.
24:02Here's Burrell.
24:03And she drops in the layup.
24:05Off glass.
24:06That is some dime-dropping.
24:09Exquisite assist.
24:10And we've reached the end of the third.
24:13Four out in front.
24:14Leading by six.
24:16Don't go anywhere.
24:17The final quarter is coming up next on 2K Sports.
24:39We welcome you back to what has been a good one here as we get into the fourth quarter.
24:50And here's Heideman.
24:51Pass to Dolson.
24:54Now Heideman.
24:59Dolson in the post.
25:01Miller defending.
25:02Dolson.
25:03Shots good.
25:04Scoring inside, it's about a lot of things.
25:06To me, touch is most important.
25:08And Dolson knows how to get the ball in the hoop.
25:11Here's Miller.
25:12She's guarded by Samuelson.
25:15Pass to Burrell.
25:19And she uses the glass on the layup.
25:22Great communication between teammates there.
25:31Now Heideman.
25:35And here's Dolson.
25:45Pass to Heideman.
25:47Clock at four.
25:48And the basket by Kubai.
25:50You just love a player like her.
25:52She's been the floor general at the offensive end.
25:55She has been on it today.
25:57Just doing a great job of keeping that ball moving.
26:04Here's Bell.
26:07Here's Bell.
26:08Now Burrell.
26:12Kubai grabs the board.
26:13Okay, this has just been an outstanding display on the boards.
26:17And it's a big part of why they have a lead going here.
26:20Doing the dirty work down low.
26:22I really love to see that.
26:23It's been a collective effort.
26:25Everybody's boxing out.
26:27Making sure they secure the glass.
26:31Here's Burrell.
26:31And foul called as she misses.
26:35And you've got to shoot the country.
26:36Second question.
26:38First team dies.
26:45He's off on the first.
26:47So both teams changing it up here.
27:01Good on the second free throw.
27:03And we're about two minutes into the fourth quarter now.
27:08Pass to Melbourne.
27:11Now here's Dolson.
27:13No good that time.
27:15Well, thus far they've managed to overcome an off game from her offensively.
27:20And stolen by Dolson.
27:26Here's Heideman.
27:28Guarded by Pow Pow.
27:29Offensive rebound.
27:31Samuelson outside.
27:33Goes back up.
27:34And she lays it in.
27:37That's what I call pretty passes.
27:39Timely recognition as to where the open teammate was.
27:44To the wing.
27:45Right side.
27:48Burrell.
27:49Well, she's guarded by Samuelson.
27:51And the three ball is good.
27:53A fantastic quarter for her here in the fourth.
27:56And just been so efficient from the floor.
28:01Let's go with a three.
28:03Good on the triple.
28:04And she had one in the first as well.
28:07And look, we all know that she can be dangerous from downtown.
28:11So the defense can't forget about her.
28:16To the right side.
28:21And it's Melbourne.
28:23And can't cash in from close range.
28:26An important rebound there on a night where their board work hasn't been the best.
28:30But they're still in this.
28:32What do you think?
28:33Can they dial it up a notch here in the clutch?
28:35Let's hope.
28:35Nice, accurate pass right into the middle.
28:38Seattle calls timeout.
28:58We've played just over three and a half minutes now in this fourth quarter.
29:04Passed to Malanga.
29:06Doesn't get it to drop for her.
29:11Now here's Hull.
29:13Forced and defending.
29:15Now pow-pow.
29:18Back to Carrington.
29:20Brains it from beyond the arc.
29:22Big-time bucket at a big-time moment.
29:26Carrington showing some serious nerve in a pressure situation.
29:31Pass to Magdegor.
29:33Shot from 12.
29:35There's Malanga.
29:37For the basket.
29:38It's number six for her this game.
29:40Six for nine.
29:42And that's 67% shooting.
29:44Carrington.
29:45She's covered by Brown.
29:47Oh, no good.
29:48Well, it wasn't a block officially.
29:50But it might as well then.
29:51She really affected that shot.
29:54Yeah, it was clearly her defense that threw her off there.
29:58That's exactly what they're going for in that possession.
30:03Now here's pow-pow.
30:06To the paint.
30:08Makes that one.
30:10Her sixth of the night.
30:11Shooting a very healthy six for nine.
30:16Seattle in the lead.
30:21Back to Magdor with the ball.
30:27Yes, once again for her on an excellent seven for eight shooting night so far.
30:32Timeout 0-18.
31:01Now here's hold.
31:02Tight defense on her.
31:04Pass to Carrington.
31:05That one falls.
31:07And a nice beat that time from pow-pow.
31:10Putting those guard skills to work.
31:12Carrington with the quick trigger.
31:18And here's Magdegor.
31:21And she can't answer back.
31:23The three-pointer off-line.
31:27Now hold.
31:28Beyond the arc.
31:29Sinks it.
31:31And she has brought them within two points.
31:34Big time hoop.
31:35Lexi Hull more than ready for prime time.
31:40Magdegor.
31:41Buries it.
31:42Here's Magdegor.
31:44Ice water in her veins.
31:46They need to score quickly.
31:47No time to waste.
31:49Pass to Juhasz.
31:52It's good.
31:53In these big moments, Juhasz is willing to step up and get the buckets they need.
32:00And they foul intentionally.
32:02And they're going to have to do it again.
32:03They're not in the penalty yet.
32:05A smart foul there to try to extend the game.
32:08Yeah, this isn't over.
32:09But the clock's as much of a problem for them as the score is right now.
32:13They need some missed free throws.
32:23He hits the first one.
32:25And that makes it a three-point lead.
32:33So she gets them both.
32:34And it's a four-point ball game.
32:36And that makes it a two-possession game.
32:38Those could turn out to be vital free throws.
32:41A foul for three.
32:55And it's Seattle with the rebound.
32:58They've led by as many as 14 points.
33:15She drops the first one
33:16and that puts them up five
33:24and a tough break as her
33:26second attempt at the line
33:28No good. That's an intentional
33:30foul. That took way
33:32too long. If they're trying to stress this thing
33:34out, they shouldn't have wasted so much time
33:38And that hurts
33:40as she doesn't get the first one to fall
33:42really trying to focus now
33:44on the second. And the second
33:46of two is good. And that increases
33:48their lead to six
33:51They still got a little time
33:52to play with. So a three
33:54and a quick foul can make things interesting
33:56Yeah, it could, but they're gonna need some help
33:59any way you cut it, Tim
34:00They'll be hoping for some missed free throws at the other end
34:03But hey, we've seen some crazy things
34:05happen
34:16Here's you, Haas
34:19Here's pow pow for three
34:21Connects from downtown
34:25And now an intentional foul
34:27They need the ball back as soon as possible
34:36And she cannot get the first one to drop
34:39Tough one to miss
34:47And no luck that time either
34:49Chance to tie it up here
34:51A three-pointer would do just that
34:53Defense knows that too
34:54And so the big win by Seattle
34:57in a tight game
34:58That was a fun night of basketball
35:00and a fabulous finish
35:01as they waited until the very last moment
35:04to finally seal it
35:05And so many times
35:07we see these tight games won at home
35:09That advantage, I think, played a factor here
35:11And that's a wrap, everyone
35:14And that's a wrap, everyone
35:44Thank you
