00:30We are currently atop the Eastern Conference 5th overall in the standings.
00:34Minnesota tied for the league's best record at 16-6 with the Las Vegas Aces.
00:41As we say hello and welcome you in with the Hall of Famer, Rebecca Lobo.
00:44I'm Tiffany Green. Holly Rowe will join us momentarily.
00:47Well, we have seen some gifted rookies come through this league.
00:51But I want you to put on the historical lens throughout the WNBA.
00:54What makes Olivia Miles' rookie season so special?
00:57What a joy it has been to watch Olivia Miles so far in her rookie campaign.
01:01What has she done in her first 20 games?
01:04Well, it has been historic.
01:05The only player in W history with 370-plus points and 100 assists in those first 20.
01:11And how about just, you know, the plus-minus for Olivia Miles.
01:14She has the best plus-minus of any player in their first 20 games.
01:18We were talking to Cheryl Reeve earlier today.
01:20And she said Miles single-handedly took a team that would have been about 500 at this point in the
01:25season
01:25and it has them at the top of the standings.
01:27Voted as an all-star starter as well.
01:30Along with Breanna Stewart.
01:31When you think about her in the New York Liberty, we've seen some inconsistencies from the Liberty.
01:35But Breanna Stewart has always been steady.
01:38Inconsistency because of players injured in and out of the lineup.
01:41And Breanna Stewart, though, is having another incredible campaign.
01:45Coming off a game a week ago against the Minnesota Lynx where she had a season-high 36 points.
01:51In the first quarter, she just didn't miss.
01:53She had 16 points on 7 of 7 from the field.
01:57Got out in transition.
01:58Scored in the paint.
01:59Pitch shots from long range.
02:01Incredibly impactful on both ends of the floor.
02:03As we take a look at today's starting lineups brought to you by Chili's.
02:08It's Breanna Stewart, Jonquil Jones, the two all-stars for the Liberty.
02:13Meanwhile, we talked about Olivia Miles.
02:15Her absence the last two games due to a calf injury.
02:19She re-enters the lineup along with the great season that Courtney Williams,
02:24Natasha Howard are having for these Minnesota Lynx to put them in position.
02:32And that's 16-6 overall.
02:36Liberty coming in at 13-9.
02:39They jump it off and it's the Liberty who maintain possession.
02:46We'll see the Lynx starting out in man-to-man defense.
02:49Coffee with the assignment on Breanna Stewart, much like a week ago.
02:52The defense, top defense in the league in Minnesota.
02:56And Natasha Howard on the break is fouled on the way up by Pauline Astier.
03:03When these teams met a week ago, the Minnesota Lynx had such a difficult time
03:07limiting the New York Liberty.
03:09New York shot 50-40-90 for the game in terms of their percentages.
03:13The Minnesota Lynx in that game, only two fast break points.
03:17Already here, Tasha Howard out in transition opportunity for two.
03:24And Howard at the free-throw line in her 13th season.
03:29Second time around with the Minnesota Lynx.
03:31Won a championship early on in her career back in 2017.
03:35But Cheryl Reeve has seen Howard turn back the clock with the numbers that she's put up this year.
03:41She was held to just seven points in that July 3rd meeting against the Liberty.
03:45She's such a great pick-and-roll player in getting the ball on the move
03:49and a perfect pairing alongside Olivia Miles.
03:52Rebecca Gardner over to Breanna Stewart.
03:55And the foul quickly whistled against the rookie, Olivia Miles.
03:59Her first personal team's first.
04:02Miles stuck on Breanna Stewart with a switch.
04:04And the New York Liberty intentional about getting Breanna Stewart the basketball in the mismatch.
04:12On the inbound to Stewie.
04:15We mentioned that season-high 36 points.
04:18Jockwell Jones pulls it from long range.
04:21Won't go.
04:22Courtney Williams out and running.
04:25Finding Nia Coffey running along the baseline.
04:28They steady offense with 15, 13 seconds left on the shot clock.
04:33Losing the handle and into the hands of the Liberty.
04:38Stewie pulling the transition three.
04:40Trains it.
04:41So first three points of the game for New York.
04:52Talked about how they love to go off the pick-and-roll.
04:55The step back there from Miles just left short.
04:59And also with this lineup, which is not one of Liberty's biggest lineups we've seen this season.
05:03And not as much switching as we had earlier in the year.
05:06That time, Astia navigating the screen.
05:09Staying with Miles.
05:11Sunescu baseline has to kick it back out.
05:14Five to go on the shot clock.
05:16Astia has to go to work.
05:17Tries to blow by.
05:18Kayla McBride and Dusso.
05:20Astia, that's her game.
05:21She is so good at getting to the rim, finishing around the cup.
05:24Her ability to blow by her defenders.
05:26That time, McBride switched but wasn't able to stay with her.
05:30The 24-year-old rookie was on pace to have one of the best seasons in the league as a
05:36rookie.
05:36Along with Olivia Miles.
05:38But it's the fight on the boards for Natasha Howard where she scores a lot of her points and she's
05:44fouled.
05:45Always a great sign for the New York Liberty when Brianna Stewart can hit a shot from deep early.
05:50It's the one area of her game where she's struggled with her efficiency this season.
05:55And then Astia here, just a little hesitation gets to the cup.
05:59She is, that's her 50-second time.
06:0250-second drive.
06:03She's blown by a defender this season, the most by any player in the W.
06:07And the great efficiency she's had along the way as well.
06:12These Minnesota Lynx come home after splitting with Connecticut's son, Cherieff, picking up win number 380.
06:22In the regular season, all-time winning as coach as Natasha Howard able to knock down both.
06:29When you talked about just some of the changes and we mentioned the inconsistencies due to injuries
06:35for the New York Liberty and Osatou Sabley who is out with a concussion, the left foot injury
06:40for Leonie Febisch.
06:43And so Chris DiMarco has had to do some work with this lineup, moving things around, everything
06:50that you think is consistent then changes once players are unavailable for the Liberty.
06:57That one deflected.
06:58Coming up with it, Rebecca Gardner out in transition.
07:02And just off the mark, misses the leg.
07:06Coffee back inside, finding Natasha Howard who's running the floor in a tie ball game.
07:12Both of these teams have four players who love to run, and that's Brianna Stewart and Natasha
07:16Howard.
07:17That was a great example.
07:18Those last two up and down.
07:20They are sprinting the floor, rim running.
07:24Jones thought about three and started.
07:26Instead takes it inside.
07:27And great defense there, protecting the paint on the Lynx.
07:32Left short by Ginesco.
07:33Got her own rebound.
07:34And Stewie straightens another three.
07:38Brianna Stewart so far this season.
07:39It's safe to say she's really enjoyed playing against the Minnesota Lynx.
07:43Yeah, throughout her career.
07:44I mean, she's averaged 21 points against the Lynx.
07:47She always brings her best.
07:49Meanwhile, Natasha Howard, responsible for all five points thus far for the Lynx.
07:54Tracking down that long rebound was Courtney Williams.
07:57Another opportunity won't go for McBride.
08:02And it comes from behind, and the foul committed it against Kayla McBride.
08:09Natasha Howard has always been a terrific rim runner.
08:12As soon as her team corrals the basketball, Sear here.
08:14She's not only filling the left lane.
08:16What does she do?
08:17Puts her hand up in the air.
08:18Give me the basketball.
08:20Able to get it and put it down.
08:22And then Brianna Stewart off the offensive board, stepping in confidently.
08:28Brianna Stewart coming into this game was only shooting 22% from the three-point line.
08:33So certainly a good sign for New York when she's able to drain them early.
08:40This group makes 10 threes a game already with two from Stewie.
08:45She's got the mismatch on Courtney Williams.
08:47Got to work quickly here.
08:48Turn around, no.
08:50But again, Stewie getting her own rebound.
08:52Offensive board.
08:53And a corner three from Gardner won't call.
09:01McBride gets it back into the hands of Olivia Miles.
09:04Miles leaves that one short.
09:06Already working on the glass quickly.
09:08That's an area where Liberty were looking to improve.
09:13The kick-out three is just off.
09:17See both teams, though, very comfortable and intentional about pushing pace, playing fast if they can.
09:26A foul on the floor going against Liberty.
09:29Astier, that's her second personal foul.
09:32The 24-year-old rookie who has come in and just provided a wonderful boost to this Liberty group.
09:41See her net trying to navigate the screen of Howard getting, moving her feet.
09:46Miles doing a terrific job getting that foul called.
09:48Now, Astier not only is a catalyst for New York on the offensive end and her burst and her able
09:53to get paint touches and in the rim, but she's a very good defender for them picking up.
09:57So this is an impactful second foul for New York.
09:59Maureen Johannes checks in the ball game for the Liberty.
10:04Kay Mack, the floater, no.
10:08Ball bouncing around and New York has it.
10:13This group coming off that loss to Dallas.
10:18They're sluggish there in the early going, but they had some great fight in that second half.
10:25Against the Wings, when the Liberty turn it over, a traveling violation going against Stewie.
10:37Both of these teams struggling a bit with their efficiency to get easy looks.
10:46Minnesota just one of seven from the floor, but a great find there.
10:50McBride can't finish.
10:52And they're one of the league's best in terms of field goal percentage, but so far struggling from the floor.
10:59Rebound by Miles, tap back.
11:03Up the middle of the floor, going right at Jacqueville-Jones, no.
11:08And Stewart comes up with the rebound.
11:19Screen, there's Inescu.
11:22In a three-second violation, whistled against Minnesota.
11:26He wins in three seconds.
11:28And a timeout taken on the floor.
11:31We'll step aside here as well.
11:33Three-point advantage for New York on the road.
11:41The WNBA on ABC is presented by Google.
11:45Welcome back to Minnesota, where the Lynx are close to having one of the best players in the world return
11:52to their roster.
11:53That's right, Nafisa Collier and Cheryl Reeve both told me that her return to the court is soon.
11:59It's even possible that we could see her before the all-star break.
12:02Cheryl Reeve said that she has been practicing full speed.
12:05And Nafisa told me she's going full speed and feeling well after that.
12:09Not too much soreness.
12:10And she feels like she's getting back to what she used to be.
12:13Now, Chuck Barton, their medical staff, they will have a lot of conversations.
12:17They do have some target dates in mind for her return.
12:20But they want to be flexible and be able to move the target dates depending on how she feels.
12:25Cheryl Reeve, of course, said we want to be really smart about this.
12:27If they've got to move those dates, that's okay.
12:30But it is possible we could see Nafisa Collier before the all-star break.
12:33And she said she is feeling great.
12:36You know, Nafisa Collier will certainly be chomping at the bit to watch her return to the court.
12:41Was out with surgeries on both ankles.
12:45And returned to practice on July 1.
12:50Nafisa Collier is such an important piece of this Nafisa Collier.
12:54Nafisa Collier is such an important piece of this Nafisa Collier.
12:55It is incredible to think that this is a Minnesota Nafisa Collier that's tied with Vegas for the best record
13:00in the league.
13:01And they're returning a 50-40-90 efficiency player who was number two in the MVP voting a season ago.
13:08Right.
13:09We see her getting some work in during pregame.
13:12Holly talked about just how she's been feeling good on both of those ankles.
13:17And just how much more dangerous of a team would the links be when she comes back.
13:20I mean, we've been able to see how incredible she was in the pick and roll game with Courtney Williams.
13:24And it's just a matter of I can't wait to watch her with Olivia Miles as well.
13:28Let's go.
13:32Mia Coffey whistled for foul.
13:36Hands to the face of Brianna Stewart.
13:38Coffey's first personal foul.
13:40And Escu.
13:42A little inbounded.
13:47But Angelini Hamilton in the ball game now.
