00:00Сеттер, she is great offensively, she is great defensively.
00:03They talked about that, how much they miss her on defense when she's not in the lineup.
00:07And she really does let Marina Mabry calm a little bit and cook from that wing.
00:12She doesn't have to do so much.
00:13So, big return to Julie Alamond today.
00:16Here's a look at the starting five for each of the two teams.
00:20Toronto has used 11 starting lineups this year, the second most in the WNBA.
00:24But good news for Tempo fans, it's the same five that they used in the big night against LA.
00:30The night that Money Mabry dropped 53 points.
00:35Tip-off, Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto with the Tempo.
00:41Dropped six of their last eight, trying to get back to winning ways here.
00:45And there is Alamond, just two turnovers in her last two games.
00:49But speaking of turnovers, that pass from Mabry out the back.
00:52Yeah, not the offensive possession you obviously want to start with with the turnover,
00:55but you have to like the ball movement to start with the tempo.
00:58They talk about that all season long.
00:59When the ball is switching from side to side, they can get easier looks on offense.
01:04So, you like the start in terms of, like, the way the ball was actually moving.
01:08Kia Stokes looking to go back inside.
01:11Gabby Williams mentioned one of the ten players in the W this year
01:15to be in the starters column in the All-Star game coming up in Chicago.
01:22One of Kia Nurse's former teammates at UConn.
01:26We'll get to that in a little bit.
01:28Certainly a big Husky connection in this game.
01:32Tempo looking for their first field goal here.
01:34Mabry coming off a 19-point game, goes to the rim and draws a foul.
01:40And that's a great start for the tempo.
01:42You like to see Maureen Mabry get into it early.
01:44You know she's going to get a lot of attention on defense.
01:46They're going to be forced to guard very far outside that three-point line.
01:50So, her ability to attack the close-up and draw some fouls early is a great sign for her.
01:58Now, Mabry has certainly entered the realms of star power when it comes to Toronto.
02:05And it's big names.
02:07There are crowds everywhere you go in this building that follow Maureen around.
02:12Yeah, a lot of posters in the air for the new All-Star,
02:15her first time being an All-Star and getting to do it here with Toronto.
02:18She just said how happy she was to have had this opportunity
02:21and to be an All-Star for this team.
02:24Toronto's first All-Star in the WNBA.
02:29Gabby Williams, crossover up top.
02:32Ends this ball off.
02:34Burton goes down low.
02:35An elite whistle.
02:37And Veronica Burton will head to the line.
02:40And that's something she does really well, attacking the rim.
02:42When she gets two feet in the key, she's able to make a couple decisions.
02:45You're going to see here, Gabby Williams is going to attack this paint and kick it out.
02:48And it's that close-out that she reacts so well to
02:51and draws that foul on Julie.
02:53And obviously you don't want Julie Allemond in foul trouble earlier for the Toronto tempo.
02:59Referees today.
03:00Angelica Suffren is the crew chief.
03:01Marcy Williams and Josh Reed make up the three-person team.
03:06And it's a tough contest here for the tempo
03:09because it's not offense that the Valkyries bring to the table.
03:12It's defense.
03:13Pretty well tops in all the most important defensive categories this year,
03:17including the fewest points against at under 77.
03:21They just held the Mystics to under 50 points, Tamika.
03:24Yeah, they're one of the second-best defensive rating in the entire WNBA.
03:27So stingy on defense, and you're going to see it all night long.
03:31To the corner.
03:32Isabel Harrison lets the three go.
03:34Rebound comes to Burton.
03:39Calls out a couple of instructions on the wing.
03:41And then the Lescini.
03:43Three is up.
03:44And Alvon does well to tip that rebound away and collect it herself.
03:51Harrison.
03:52Maria Conde inside.
03:54Harrison to the basket.
03:55And it's an early lead for the tempo.
03:57That's a great pick and roll from the wing.
03:59You get Conde coming off.
04:01And Izzy Harrison with a perfect roll slipped inside.
04:04And then Conde's an underrated passer.
04:05She finds her right down the seat.
04:07Harrison double figures in five of her last six games.
04:11Williams, mid-range.
04:13That's no good.
04:14And underneath the basket, Zappily with the rebound.
04:20Now up top.
04:21No room for Mabry.
04:22So the handoff here.
04:23Conde.
04:24And another miscommunication here for the tempo.
04:27And another turnover.
04:28Yeah, you're seeing here Conde coming off that screen.
04:30Zappily actually picks and pops a little bit instead of rolling down.
04:32And Conde thought she was going to roll into that position.
04:35Take another look at it right here.
04:37Conde's coming off the screen.
04:38Now this is the bucket.
04:39You're just going to pass this to Izzy Harrison for the score.
04:42I think tempo fans are saying more of that.
04:44Yes.
04:47Williams is up top.
04:51Anderlissini on the wing.
04:53And this time Mabry.
04:54Who's hoping for a travel call.
04:56Instead it's a foul.
05:01She's still discussing that with the refs.
05:02Hoping she can get that one reversed.
05:06Celia Zanderlissini.
05:0930-year-old from Italy.
05:10Flips this one in.
05:13He is Stokes.
05:17DeWilliams.
05:18Turn around two.
05:19Short.
05:19Another rebound for Julie Alamon.
05:21Races away.
05:22Hands off.
05:23Conde tries a little Eurostep.
05:25Kicks it out.
05:25Harrison.
05:26Mabry can hit from there.
05:28But guarded closely.
05:29Inside Sabily.
05:31Shoulder down.
05:31Baseline.
05:32Hands it off.
05:33And Harrison again connecting.
05:34And you've got to like the pace that the Tempo are playing with.
05:37You see Julie Alamon getting the outlet off of every missed basket.
05:40And trying to push the floor for early offense.
05:43And that one turns into an easy sport.
05:45This is an interesting matchup.
05:46Because the Tempo are one of the fastest teams in the league.
05:49And the Valkyries have one of the slowest paces of play in the WNBA.
05:54So, which one will it be?
05:57Long two.
05:58Then the Lissini misses that.
06:010 for 4 to start this game.
06:04Valkyries are.
06:08Burton on the wing.
06:09Sabily almost pokes it away.
06:11Three seconds left on the shot clock.
06:13Shot up from Thornton.
06:14And that one rattles out.
06:16And the Tempo get another stop.
06:21Elma celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday.
06:26Birthday cake in the house.
06:27It's a cake to go around the Tempo, I feel like.
06:31Foul called here.
06:32There's a Tempo enjoying an early four-point lead.
06:35And so far, they've been able to get inside here on the Valkyries.
06:40Stingy deep.
06:41And this plate right here that we're replaying.
06:42That again is Marina Mabry off the ball screen.
06:45Sabily with the role.
06:46And Sabily is such a good passer.
06:47Underneath she's able to find the slip on the offside of Izzy Harrison.
06:52Early substitution as Sabily comes out.
06:55Laura Yushkaita.
06:56An early call off the bench.
07:00The Valkyries.
07:01Only shoot the ball at 41%.
07:04That's last in the WNBA.
07:06And Izzy Harrison back to work.
07:08Quick six points for Izzy Bell.
07:10Yeah, the pick and roll game for the Tempo right now
07:11with Julie Alamond and Marina Mabry using their bigs.
07:14She's been really successful to start this game.
07:16And you'll see that on that last possession.
07:20Williams throws the ball away.
07:22So far, it's the Tempo defense that's flexing its muscle.
07:25Yeah, this is a Tempo team that came out at the beginning of the season
07:28and said they really wanted to rest their hat on their defense.
07:31Brandello's talked about it all season long.
07:33When they get to practice and they get their bodies in and they get to play together,
07:37they're way better on the defensive end.
07:42All out of bounds.
07:43This will stay with the Tempo.
07:46It's Golden State starting this game 0 for 5 with two turnovers.
07:51But one thing the Valkyries do have is a very deep bench.
07:55In fact, the best bench in terms of offensive production in the WNBA this year.
08:00So Kyla Charles, a quick call in here.
08:04Inbound.
08:05Trying to go back inside again.
08:07This one defended well by Golden State.
08:10And the Massini hands this off.
08:12Burton.
08:15Curls back, guarded by Mabry.
08:19Here comes the screen.
08:21Burton.
08:22This one goes off of Isabel Harrison's foot.
08:28Kick ball.
08:29Kick ball is the call and the inbound from the wing.
08:35Charles quickly in.
08:38Tiziana here from Mississauga.
08:41Homecoming for her.
08:43All turned over though.
08:45And this one goes out of bounds.
08:52But again, this is the pace.
08:53You get a deflection here.
08:55Hands in.
08:55Green Mabry steals it.
08:56She's pushing up for it.
08:57She sees Conde with a light and drives it up there.
09:03Brickley in.
09:03Shot baseline.
09:04That doesn't fall.
09:05Rebound down to Thornton.
09:07Back again to Burton.
09:09Halfway through this first quarter.
09:12Call on the ground momentarily.
09:14Collected quickly by Charles.
09:16Back up top.
09:17Burton.
09:18Ten on the shot clock.
09:20Almond trying to keep it close.
09:22Charles again.
09:23Crosses over.
09:24Three ball up.
09:25Something that Golden State also does very well.
09:28And that connects from downtown.
09:30As you get really good penetration by Golden State.
09:32A little bit of over help inside the key that gives Burton too much space.
09:36She's too good of a shooter to give her that much room outside the three-point line.
09:39Travel called as Harrison took too many steps.
09:43Just getting going at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
09:46An early three-point tempo lead.
09:52With more on that, let's welcome in Regan Subban.
09:57Thanks, Matt.
09:58With Marina being named a WNBA All-Star, the reaction within the locker room was simple.
10:03It's about time.
10:05I spoke to Nura Savily earlier and she said she couldn't believe that this is the first time it's happening
10:10in her career.
10:11Especially with this season being the first time she ties the WNBA record with the most points in a single
10:16season with 53.
10:18She said she couldn't believe it because she's been such a solid and strong player within the league.
10:23But it's even more special that it's happening for the first time now in her career.
10:27And she is finally getting the recognition that she deserves.
10:30Matt?
10:31Thanks, Regan.
10:31And yes, eight seasons now in the WNBA will be going to the All-Star game shortly in Chicago.
10:40She has turned a lot of heads this year and hoping to do so again here tonight against a team
10:46that's just half a game out of first place.
10:49Big matchup here and so far the Valkyries have struggled from the floor.
10:52Just one of seven shooting.
10:54Yeah, you came in and they were supposed to be a defensive team, which they've shown.
10:58But the Temple are doing a great job on offense.
11:00They're doing a great job defending their superstars.
11:02Gabby Williams is an All-Star and right now she's sitting 0 for 2 from the field and having a
11:07tough night.
11:07They're playing a lot of one-on-one offense.
11:09And when that comes to play, the Tempo can play one-on-one defense with many of the players in
11:14the league, if not everyone.
11:17Team of Pui, who was the last-minute replacement for Julie Elmo, in against Dallas on the weekend, comes in.
11:28A couple of fouls quickly on the Tempo here.
11:32Burton.
11:35Guarded by Pui, seven on the shot clock.
11:38Charles will try again from deep.
11:40Offensive rebound collected quickly.
11:44Janelle Salon into the game.
11:45First touch turns the ball over.
11:47That's Golden State's fifth turnover already of the quarter.
11:53Power Yuskaita trying to back down, uses that shoulder, and this one out of bounds.
11:58Good defense from the Valkyries.
12:00That one from Tiffany Hayes.
12:02Yeah, you get Yuskaita on the post trying to post up Hayes.
12:05She's looking for a foul down there.
12:07It's a physical play in the baseline.
12:11The ref's taking a second look at this one.
12:15Little discussion, but we play on.
12:17Kaitlin Chen, who came off the bench for 14 points to lead the Valkyries in the win over Washington.
12:28On the way.
12:29Quick three up from Chen.
12:30No good, and the rebound comes down to Maverick.
12:32One to Edelman quickly.
12:33Great pass to Pui.
12:35How about that for a dime?
12:36Pui off glass.
12:37And that's great court vision out of Marina Mabry.
12:40You know she's a scorer, but when she gets her head up, she can see a lot of passing lengths.
12:45And that's just really good offense in transition.
12:49Tempo on five.
12:51Eight stages now, first quarter.
12:55Salon and Hayes.
12:56Hand off at the top of the key.
12:58Up top, Janelle Salon.
13:00Fakes the three.
13:01Now we'll get it off to Chen.
13:02And ran out of time.
13:05And another turnover.
13:07From the Valkyries.
13:09And come on.
13:12Now we're in here.
13:16So instead of the Valkyries defense, it's been all tempo here so far.
13:22Yeah, they've really come out communicating really well.
13:24They have a game plan for the offense.
13:26You can see they're switching.
13:27They're playing in gaps.
13:28And they're able to force deflections or force the Valkyries into shots they don't really want to take.
13:33Double-team comes on neighboring.
13:35And Skyt's trying to fire this one in.
13:37And Salon did well.
13:38Used that big frame to reach up and take it away.
13:42Salon's big.
13:43She's athletic.
13:44She can play in passing lengths really well.
13:46So if you put that ball in front of her, she's going to be able to go out there and
13:48get that.
13:49And then that's how the Valkyries want to play.
13:50They want to play a little up-paste when they get those steals and entry positions.
13:55Tempo's seventh turnover so far in the quarter.
13:58So 12 total.
14:00It's been one of the stories here so far.
14:03Tempo by five.
14:05Tiffany Hayes.
14:09Off balance there.
14:10Draws the foul.
14:15Also being a blocking foul here.
14:17Two shots.
14:22Tiffany Hayes attacks.
14:23Thea Nurse right here in this closeout.
14:25Yousketa tries to get into that passing or that attack lane.
14:28She's a step too slow and clips her with that leg.
14:32You see the effort there though out of the Tempo.
14:34They're really conscious of being able to gap and being able to contain that dribble penetration.
14:40One step faster and that's a charge and not a block, right?
14:46Valkyries, one of the bottom five teams in shooting free throws this year.
14:51Just under 77%.
14:54Just made it to the line four times in that defensive win over the Mystics.
15:00One of two this time.
15:03Whistle goes.
15:05We're going to do one more shot here on the violation from Yousketa.
15:13So second chance.
15:18She just really badly wanted that rebound.
15:19She knew what was coming off and she knew she could get that ball.
15:22You know, you know, you know, she was right there.
15:24Laura Yousketa is a great rebounder.
15:26She has an act for the ball, so.
15:30Going up and good.
15:31Yousketa.
15:32Leads Toronto this year at plus 44 in terms of the plus minuses.
15:37In fact, the tempo of minus 71 when she's not on the court.
15:42Yeah, big impact.
15:44Kia Nurse into the game.
15:45Point for three.
15:47Just fall short.
15:48Rebound again to Salon.
15:49Trying to play with some pace.
15:53Julie Elmau now waiting in the wing.
15:55Set to come back in with two minutes to go in the first quarter.
16:02Three ball on the way from Hayes.
16:05Long rebound.
16:07Emma here, one of five Canadians in the WNBA.
16:11One of them, Kia Nurse, also on the floor here right now.
16:15Mississauga-Hamilton connection.
16:18Chen, not much left on the shot clock.
16:21And another Golden State turnover.
16:23They're sixth.
16:25And the fans appreciate that.
16:27Yeah, that's a defensive shot clock violation is a lot of effort, right?
16:32You've got to think about you're playing defense with entire possession.
16:35That's communication.
16:36That's rotating.
16:36That's giving up.
16:37Not one single easy look.
16:39Those are the types of defensive possessions that really energize you as an offensive spot.
16:46Oh, I just saw there that the Valkyries have the fewest turnovers in the WNBA this year at 11.
16:51Already have six.
16:52And Sabley, when she gets going downhill, it's trouble for defenses.
16:56She's so versatile from that position because she really attacks really well off the dribbling
16:59and can shoot from outside.
17:01So you have to respect her outside the three-point line.
17:03She's such a great post player with ball handling skills of that of a larger guard.
17:10Up and good from Chen.
17:13Ten of the 12 Toronto points have come into the paint.
17:16One from the outside.
17:17This one, though, called on the offensive foul.
17:20And Miara Sabley doesn't like that.
17:22It's going to be her first.
17:23No, and she's just talking to the ref saying she's not set.
17:26This is a very good attack.
17:28And she gets her on the pass.
17:30And she's got...
17:32You see the no charge circle there.
17:34So she's got a little bit of an argument for what just happened.
17:36And she'll be going to the first.
17:40Sabley has to come out of the game.
17:46Less than a minute now to go here in quarter number one.
17:49A close affair here.
17:50First of three meetings between these two.
17:54Valkyrie's an expansion team last year.
17:56Made the playoffs with 23 wins.

32:10Yeah, and Izzy Harrison can be an absolute game changer.
32:14When she is aggressive and she is attacking the range, she gives them an entirely different dimension than that post,
32:18but you'll see right here, she plays so well in space, she's not scared of anything, she can shoot from
32:23anywhere on the floor.
32:25So when she's really rolling the offense, it gets a lot more dangerous.
32:31She has to be the first tempo player to reach double figures here in this one, which is good on
32:37both of these.
32:44joined the team late with an injury, made her season debut on June the 7th, and immediately had 14.6
32:52assists in that game, and has now got 10 to lead the tempo.
32:58And now Toronto needs some defense. Burton hands off, Williams quickly out to the wing again, taken by Thornton, and
33:06an offensive foul.
33:08Called on Kayla Thornton.
33:10And that's a good defensive position because you see the guards were able to switch.
33:13So because they can switch those screens, Julie Olliman can really get up.
33:18You'll see her here trying to fight right over, and when you're fighting over a screen, you force the ref
33:24to have to make a call.
33:25That defensive player was not in position before she tried to roll through there.
33:28Condé attacking, this ball tipped out of bounds.
33:31You can just see how active Golden State did with the hands on defense.
33:35They've come back in this second quarter and really decided,
33:37we're gonna bear down and play that defense that everybody seems to talk about.
33:39I think they came out a little bit slow in that first half, or first quarter, excuse me.
33:44And they've really got into passing lanes, they're using their athleticism and their speed on that defensive end.
33:48Had a look there at Coach Natalie Nakase.
33:54First ever expansion team to reach the playoffs last year.
33:58Nakase was a big part of that.
34:00Less than three on the shot clock.
34:02Harrison's gotta hurry, gets bottled up, and turned the ball over.
34:07And again, that's another solid defensive possession out of the Valkyries.
34:10They're playing in lanes, they're communicating.
34:12They're playing just behind in the post player, you're gonna see it right here.
34:15She just sits behind, waits, waits, and just a little miscue by Izzy Harrison out of bounds.
34:22That's just them challenging the offense to play out of sorts.
34:26And the Lasini watches that one from three.
34:30That's up and good.
34:31That's the fourth triple of the day.
34:34Here for the Valkyries.
34:364 of 13 shooting the three.
34:38Nurse takes some contact.
34:40Gives it off to Alma.
34:43The foul was called on Golden State.
34:47On top of the key.
34:50To Chile out.
34:52And the Lasini will take one.
34:58As per usual, didn't seem to like it.
35:00Nobody does.
35:01No one really likes any of the calls when they go against themselves.
35:04Of course.
35:05Inbound comes to Mabry.
35:07Up top to Alma will shoot the three.
35:09Underneath the basket, quickly taken back.
35:14Thornton spinning at the foul line, looking for some help.
35:17Gabby Williams on the wing.
35:19Golden State by seven here on a big second quarter run.
35:2419-6.
35:26Right now, Thornton's wide open.
35:28Looks at that three and cans it.
35:30Rattles down.
35:32Tempo call and time out.
35:34They're gonna go back and they're gonna take a look at this one.
35:36They're just a mess.
35:38It's not about one person doing someone else's entire job.
35:41It's about everybody stepping up.
35:43She said regardless of who's available, the team's preparation and belief never changes
35:47because they still expect to have enough to win every night.
35:52Having a big bench.
35:55Players willing to step up in big roles.
35:57Regan, that is very key and it's gonna have to be the case again.
36:01Here for the Tempo.
36:04Mabry's still looking to try and get going.
36:06Hasn't made a shot from the floor yet.
36:080 for 4.
36:09Gabby Williams pulls up for three.
36:11Short.
36:12Harrison collects her fifth rebound.
36:1623 points so far here for the Tempo.
36:19Down by 10.
36:21Harrison up top.
36:22Takes the dribble.
36:23Condre looking for an open lane.
36:25We'll go right to the paint.
36:27Fade away two.
36:27That's good.
36:30It's a great offensive take by Marie Kondi.
36:32That's a 6-3 guard.
36:33So she's coming up the wing.
36:34She can elevate and be able to shoot over a contested hand.
36:36And you just saw a little step back.
36:38A little lean.
36:39Be able to put that shot up.
36:41Just the second made field goal for the Tempo in the quarter.
36:44And the first in four minutes.
36:47Tempo trying to get on a run.
36:49Starts with a stop here.
36:50Amahir.
36:51Shoulder down.
36:52looks at that contact and says,
36:55I'll take it.
36:57Big bucket for the Canadian.
37:03Now Amah on the wing.
37:04Condre just made two.
37:06Off glass for three.
37:08This time no good.
37:10And here we'll get this to Thornton.
37:14And to Lassini.
37:16In the post.
37:17Up top again.
37:19Thornton again.
37:20Goes right at the defense.
37:23And gets that to go.
37:24Those are two big takes by the Valkyries.
37:26You'll see they're taking right into the key.
37:28Right into the chest of the Toronto Tempo.
37:30They've got no issues with physicality.
37:33And they're big finishes.
37:35Going right into the teeth of the Tempo defense.
37:38Gabby Williams though just picked up another foul.
37:41That's her second.
37:42You're gonna get a look at it here.
37:44Ami here right into Izzy Harrison.
37:46Izzy Harrison took the exception to that.
37:47She definitely stepped out of bounds and was like,
37:48Excuse me, what?
37:49And then again, Thornton right into Condre.
37:53They want to force the issue.
37:54They want to draw fouls.
37:55Getting two feet into the key.
37:58Causing the defense to have to react.
37:59That is their attack game.
38:01You see them in transition.
38:02They don't actually want to push.
38:03They want to set up their half court offense.
38:05And then attack closeouts playing one on one.
38:07They also love to shoot the three as well.
38:11Golden State puts up the most threes in the league at over 31.
38:15They also make the most at just under 11.
38:18When you're a team that wants to attack the paint,
38:21you get some of those open locks.
38:22You're asking defenses to collapse.
38:25And then you get those kick outs to the other side.
38:27That was something that the Tempo really did well
38:28when they had Brittany Sykes on the floor.
38:32Zandalicini will go right back to that three.
38:35Avery a hard-fought rebound.
38:37Has to wrestle it away.
38:39There from Burton.
38:41Now Elmo.
38:4260 seconds to go in the half.
38:44Condre deep in the corner.
38:45Driving in baseline.
38:46How about the up and under?
38:48Draws the foul.
38:51Condre's such a versatile guard.
38:52You'll just see her.
38:53She's stepping out and she's having bigger bodies guard her
38:55because she's playing a lot of times in that forward position.
38:58And then her versatility allows her to attack defenses.
39:01She's played in Europe a lot of years.
39:02She's got some really pretty finishes.
39:04And you'll see it.
39:05She's got a lot of tricks in her bag.
39:09Foul on Emma here.
39:11So we'll put the Tempo at the line.
39:14So far 7 of 8.
39:17Now 8 of 9 from the free throw line.
39:20But still work to be done here.
39:22This second quarter has really changed the game.
39:25When Maria Conde is scoring
39:27and when she's giving him another option from outside the 3 point line
39:29or attacking the rim like we just saw.
39:32The Tempo are better on offense.
39:33And she's averaging double points.
39:36Double fingers a game.
39:37She just adds another score.
39:39She takes a little bit of pressure off of Marina.
39:4226-11.
39:44Ball in the hardwood.
39:45Almond diving.
39:46Picked up by Williams.
39:47Goes to Zandalasini.
39:49Puts up the 3.
39:50A contested one.
39:51Offensive rebound for Thornton.
39:52And that's another foul called on Harrison.
39:56Going to be her third.
39:57That's tough because you've got a lot of frontcourt players in foul trouble right now.
40:02See Harrison's got three.
40:03Yushkaida's got three.
40:04You've got Niara Sabeli no longer in the lineup for this game.
40:07So Tiani Q's at the table.
40:09She's going to check in here.
40:11She's going to give some relief.
40:12But again, you're trying to play with this frontcourt presence.
40:15These big bodies.
40:16You've got a lot of attacks inside by the Valkyries.
40:18You need to be able to have these players available for you to clog up that lane.
40:23Tough balance here for Coach Sandy Brondello.
40:26Who has a couple of last minute instructions for Key.
40:28Who's going to give Harrison a break.
40:30But now that's Yushkaida and Izzy Harrison.
40:33Both with three fouls.
40:35Yeah, and you had no points in the paint for the Valkyries in that first quarter.
40:39It was ten to nothing in favor of the tempo.
40:42And they've come out in this quarter and made a point of that.
40:45You've got ten points in the paint right now for Valkyries in the second quarter.
40:50Alma.
40:51It's a nurse in the corner.
40:53Burton goes down.
40:54Looks around.
40:55Alma hits the three instead.
40:57And a little bit of life inside the building after another three pointer.
41:03She seems to have a knack for scoring at the end of a quarter.
41:07Hit the buzzer beater on the turnaround.
41:10Temple the two of nine shooting the three.
41:13Here today at just 22%.
41:16Thornton fakes.
41:17Runs again.
41:18Some hard.
41:19Steps into the paint.
41:21And another foul.
41:22This one going to be on Nurse.
41:25She's feeling some pain in this room right here.
41:27She grabbed her back initially.
41:29She went down hard.
41:30Again, these are hard attacks to the rim.
41:32She's attacking right at Kia Nurse right here.
41:35Right to the chest.
41:37And Kia kind of slides to the left.
41:39And she tries to step inside of it right here.
41:41See Kia go all the way.
41:42And then she steps inside and gets caught by that outside hip.
41:45That was a painful one.
41:46She takes a hard fall you see right there.
41:47Falls right on that tailbone.
41:50Thornton had really struggled in the past two games.
41:53A combined one of 14 over the last two from the floor.
41:57It's taking a different approach here.
41:58It's just hard buckets.
42:02Getting it done from the foul line here as well.
42:05Now 4 of 4.
