00:03hey folks welcome in to some wmba action on 2k sports taking on the dallas wings i'm blake
00:11suniga and with me at the broadcast table are tim swartz and brian banifatemi
00:17well guys is it too early to start thinking about playoff position at this point of the season
00:22yeah for most teams it is but for the team to the top of the standing securing home court advantage
00:27is looming large well let's settle down a little bit right because we can't look too far ahead
00:33the postseason is still a long ways away
00:55here we go
00:59and the wings start out with the ball
01:05here's beckers
01:08shepherd
01:11here's agumowale
01:12comes out of the gate and
01:14well that's just not a sight you see very often because she has a great feel for that jump shot
01:20especially when she's open she did so well to lead her teammate right to the ideal spot that's the kind
01:28of playmaking coaches like to see
01:29now here's smith pass to lopez seneschal inside now here's shepherd that kick out to beckers
01:39off target from outside
01:42we've all known the name page beckers well before the 2025 draft
01:47she's used to the spotlight
01:49no doubt i mean she's been a name in basketball for a long time she was the number one recruit
01:53out of high school then in college as a freshman the national player of the year
01:57obviously huge expectations for her here in the w but page beckers is used to that
02:03that's just run of the mill for her she's one of the more skilled offensive players out there
02:09pow pow on the wing
02:12vandersloot
02:13pass to burrell
02:17and here's pow pow
02:18here's yuhas
02:20it's good from long range
02:23well yuhas certainly has that shooting stroke
02:26and for her it's all about becoming more consistent
02:33there's agumowale with the three
02:36it's rebounded by courtney vandersloot
02:42now about two minutes gone by in the first quarter
02:45all by herself
02:46here's beckers
02:48and the ball travels out of bounds
02:50that's a turnover
02:51where was she going with that pass
02:53i have no clue
02:55that's awful
02:55that's just giving it away
03:02now here's pow pow
03:03defense is right there
03:06yuhas
03:06guarded now by agumowale
03:09count that one
03:10four makes on four shots
03:13everything has fallen for them early
03:14here's dallas now
03:16seven point differential
03:22beckers outside
03:24fast agumowale
03:25let's go with a three
03:27and it's rebounded by courtney vandersloot
03:30they've had a cold start so far
03:32just one for five from the floor here early
03:37now here's ujahs she has seven solid play on the low block and that one's good
03:44pretty impressive five straight makes to start this game
03:48dallas with the ball
03:53now about three minutes gone here in the first quarter
03:56they need this
03:58oh nice shot by beckers
04:00a skilled distributor
04:02get yourself open and agumowale
04:05and agumowale will find you
04:08fast to burrell
04:11vandersloot
04:14checkers with the block
04:21now agumowale
04:22no scoring yet from her
04:24but that's likely to change
04:30just over three and a half minutes gone here in the first
04:35pass to ujahs
04:41banked in off the glass
04:43three consecutive field goals have come right at the rim
04:46the defense better start buckling down
04:49they're getting exposed and punished down low
04:52eight beckers from outside
04:54offensive rebound
04:56shepherd good
04:57when you pair shepherd's length with her effort level
05:01you end up with offensive rebounds like that
05:04after ujahs
05:07that's good and so courtney vandersloot gets the assist
05:11pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now i mean
05:15there's more holes in their defense than in a block of swiss cheese
05:19man you just made me hungry
05:20but that's right
05:21five of their last six makes were being tight
05:25they've established themselves inside
05:27where's the cheese
05:28he's missed everything this quarter
05:30everything every shot every shot she's taken has been a miss
05:33i mean it's just been hard to watch
05:36and she was fouled on the way up
05:38two she throws for her
05:40since the wings moved to dallas in 2016
05:42it's been tough times for the franchise
05:45yeah first nine years in dallas
05:47one winning year
05:48one playoff series one
05:50the good news for dallas
05:52i think winning the lottery in 2025
05:54might change their fortunes
05:56both teams will make substitutions
06:06and so she hits both
06:10dallas with the ball
06:11they trail by nine points
06:19off on the layup
06:21solid job by the defense to get in her way as she was going up to the ring
06:28pow pow on the wing
06:30and her salute outside
06:35and she banks in the layup
06:37and you can't help but really pick on their defense
06:40they're completely in disarray
06:42everything's coming much too easily
06:44i mean you've got to take something away
06:48now here's clark
06:49and another miss by dallas
06:51she had all the time in the world to get that shot off
06:55and shot clock in game clark
06:57separated by less than six seconds
07:02here's the wings with the ball
07:04eleven point game
07:09outside sims
07:15and stolen by courtney vandersloot
07:20and as the first quarter wraps up
07:22already a double digit lead
07:24up by eleven
07:25and the second quarter is on the way when we return
07:48a lopsided first quarter in the books
07:50as we get ready to begin the second quarter
07:53there hasn't been a lot of settling
07:55for outside shots
07:56really early on
07:57yeah they've done a good job to work it low
07:59and not take the easy way out on offense
08:01no shortcuts
08:02pound it low
08:10here's johannes
08:11still getting warmed up offensively
08:14no buckets yet in the game for her
08:17shots good by bell
08:18that assist got a little nod from her teammate after the bucket
08:25the lead pass was put in just the right spot to produce the layup
08:29nice pass
08:30she got that ball right into her teammate's shooting pocket
08:34and it yielded great results
08:39all with the ball
08:41she's against seagrass
08:42shots good by johannes
08:45that's how to orchestrate for your teammate
08:47terrific pass
08:55count it
08:56good recognition from agumbawale
08:59she's more than capable of understanding when her teammates are wide open
09:03just over a minute gone here in the second quarter
09:06and fellas we were talking about this
09:08one great thing about agumbawale
09:11her durability
09:12she rarely misses games
09:14led the league a couple times in minutes played
09:17and then amongst active players
09:19agumbawale leads in minutes played per game
09:22four of their last five makes
09:25came off a high quality shot inside
09:27and that's right out of the textbook
09:29they're having their way down low right now
09:38outside sims
09:40seagrass down low
09:41miller defending
09:43got her with the pump fake
09:45savvy move there
09:46after starting the game off pretty slow
09:49they've really come to life here
09:51yeah they're putting it together
09:52still trailing though
09:53but their offense
09:55it's gaining some traction
09:56here's bell
09:58back to miller
10:00basket good
10:01i tell you what
10:02miller is a walking mismatch
10:05on the offensive end
10:06especially foul line down
10:08shots good by suarez
10:12well done to finish that one off
10:40here's van der sleuth
10:43pass to johannes
10:45van der sleuth
10:50and a little under two and a half minutes gone by here in this second quarter
10:55juhasz
10:55covered by smith
10:57just five on the clock
10:58and down it goes
10:59two points
11:00once you let van der sleuth get to the rim
11:03the damage is already done
11:04she's too skilled around the basket
11:10abun bawale with it
11:12he hasn't scored yet
11:14that i'm sure will change
11:15very close to making the defense pay for the lax coverage that time
11:20not a great habit to get into
11:22letting her
11:23get that wide open
11:28now here's beckers
11:29the right honor
11:32it's pulled in by burrell
11:34you know you watch her
11:35and you see her mechanics
11:36are totally out of whack right now
11:38she's lost all feel for her shot
11:40yeah and it's not hard to tell
11:42you know just look at her numbers right now
11:44nothing is going down for her
11:46we're seeing some good ball movement out of them
11:49definitely
11:4910 of their last 12 points have come off assist
11:53pass to smith
11:57agun bawale
12:02she hits that shot
12:04and that's her first of the night
12:05now one for six
12:07just like all the best guards
12:09the elite guards in the world
12:11arike ogubenwale finds ways to score inside
12:15go ahead and his shot is off
12:18so it's dallas now
12:20trailing by 13
12:21agun bawale good
12:23well they're starting to come on here in the second
12:26yeah their offense looking much better
12:28they're trying to make up some ground
12:32pass to johannes
12:33lets it go from deep
12:35sinks the three pointer
12:37well van der sleut's unselfishness
12:39is part of what makes her so special
12:41she loves to create for others
12:42time called here
12:44the wings decide to talk it over
13:03so it's dallas now
13:05it's a 14 point game
13:13smith up top
13:15well timed pass
13:17and goes straight to the bucket for the layup
13:19some defensive breakdowns happening now
13:22their last four buckets allowed
13:24have come from very close range
13:26and giving up these hyper save shot attempts
13:29it's not going to get it done
13:30they need to figure it out
13:32and we know johannes has this in her
13:35remember she averaged a double-double her third year in college
13:41pass to beckers
13:43shoots over van der sleut
13:45and it's beckers missing
13:47that's something they need to do more of
13:49get after it on the glass
13:50it certainly wouldn't hurt
13:52some extra possessions would definitely help narrow the gap
13:55and that one drops for her
13:57they've done good work with the ball
13:59they've been moving and getting quality chances
14:03and their field goal percentage reflects that
14:05they've been the much better team
14:07shooting the ball
14:08and it's not just about shooting brian
14:10it's what you just mentioned
14:10it's about moving cutting
14:12all the little things
14:13that's fantastic defense
14:16on one of the best three-point shooters in the league
14:19didn't give her an inch of room
14:21and that's the only way to stop her
14:23the defender has to be all over her
14:25with a hand right in her face
14:31Paige Deckers from outside
14:33the shot off that time
14:35and through one half
14:36it hasn't even been close
14:39up by 16
14:40and we'll see you right after halftime
14:43for the beginning of the third quarter
14:51and it's time for your fair half-court shot
14:54please direct your attention to Central Court
14:57drums please
15:00they're thinking about the shot
15:10let's hear it for the participant
15:12out your expert
15:12or whatever
15:12continue earning
15:14so
15:14I'm gonna do it in my flooded
15:15I'm a greatvre
15:19so
15:20I'm
15:20gonna do it in my month I'm

15:32well as
15:32well I
15:32wanna do it in myerness in my
15:33that's
15:33I don't
15:34see it's
15:41necessary
16:06And as we begin the second half, first half wasn't even close.
16:10And we'll see if there is a comeback on our hands or more of the same as we get the
16:15third started.
16:16And you have to like what we've seen from Dorka Juhasz.
16:19She broke out her entire arsenal of post moves in the first half, and every one of them was working.
16:25Yeah, and I'm going to call her the magician because I think she might have even a few more tricks
16:30up her sleeve.
16:32And I think she's going to break them out as we start heading down the stretch.
16:38Welcome back to the start of the second half.
16:40Big margin on our hands, but we'll see if that gap narrows down in the final two quarters.
16:46Pass to Pow Pow.
16:48Here's Vandersloot.
16:51Pow Pow.
16:53Boots over Agungawale.
16:55Pow Pow can't get it to go.
16:56Well, she didn't have a hand in her face, so I thought she was for sure going to bury that.
17:03Now Agungawale.
17:06The shot is good.
17:08Becker's making the play.
17:09Well, it's tough to stop Agungawale when she's letting it rip.
17:14She can get those shots off in a hurry.
17:16Here's Juhasz.
17:18Dallas with the rebound.
17:23It's Lou Lopez and a shawl on the wing.
17:26Wyatt so far offensively searching for first points of the game.
17:31With the perfect physical frame for interior scoring, Shepard can sure do some damage down low.
17:38Now here's Pow Pow.
17:40No coverage that time.
17:42Well, the D's sagged off, and no hesitation on her part to rise up and bury the three.
17:51Outside Agungawale.
17:53Makes the three.
17:54They grab their own miss.
17:56Yep, that one goes.
17:58Their second half has started well.
18:00They've been good on three of their first four attempts.
18:03I like to see that.
18:06Pass to Juhasz.
18:10Covered by Smith.
18:13Baseline try.
18:15Juhasz can't get it to go.
18:17One for four from the field since halftime.
18:20They're having a hard time getting it going.
18:22Lopez Seneschal.
18:24That's good.
18:25They continue to get it inside.
18:27The defense struggling to just contain them.
18:29And look, when you make five in a row from in tight like they have,
18:33it also just takes pressure off of your perimeter, guys.
18:35Great point.
18:37Here's Burrell.
18:38Pow Pow.
18:39Guarded now by Agungawale.
18:41And they pick up two.
18:43Really, that's her strong suit.
18:45The ability to find a way through the deep and finish at the rim.
18:52Just under two and a half minutes into this third quarter now.
18:56Becker is no good.
18:57She keeps trying to force it up when she's guarded.
19:01And she's just getting grit after grit.
19:04Here's my suggestion.
19:06Move the ball around.
19:07Now here's Juhasz.
19:10She's got 13.
19:11Vandersloot uses the glass to finish the layup.
19:15Well, Vandersloot is just fearless,
19:17getting past the inside contact and getting to her finish.
19:24There's Agungawale with the three.
19:26Here's Shepard.
19:27Lays it up and banks it in.
19:30Defensively, they're on their heels every time the ball comes inside.
19:33And if they don't start showing some aggression,
19:36things are just going to get worse.
19:44Both teams deciding to change it up.
20:00And here's Juhasz.
20:02Pass to Johannes.
20:04To the inside.
20:07Juhasz.
20:08Covered by Smith.
20:13To the left side wing.
20:17Now, pow, pow.
20:18Shoots over Agungawale.
20:20Pow, pow.
20:21Can't get it to go.
20:25Smith outside.
20:29Plenty of space.
20:31That kick out to Beckers.
20:34Let's the three fly.
20:36Drills it from outside.
20:38They have a little extra hustle in this second half.
20:41Doing much better in terms of second chance points.
20:43On the third pick in the 2023 draft.
20:46Maddie Segrist struggled a bit as a rookie.
20:49And that's not uncommon.
20:50Yeah.
20:51I mean, it was a tough adjustment, right?
20:52Scored under four points the game.
20:54But she really improved in here, too.
20:56Averaging nine points.
20:57Rebounding better.
20:58And looking way more comfortable out there.
21:01Now here's Beckers.
21:03She's got nine.
21:04She's over Juhasz.
21:05But they get it back.
21:07Outside Agungawale.
21:09Second shot opportunity.
21:11Offensive rebound.
21:13Segrist gets the bucket.
21:15It's not hard to see why they're giving up points on this run.
21:18Just too many looks from in close.
21:20You know, usually when teams give up runs like this, it's because they allow chances from
21:25each side.
21:26Make them beat you from deep.
21:29Yeah.
21:29Anytime the shot comes from that range, the offense has done its job.
21:35Dallas calls timeout.
21:37That coach wants to get everybody on the same page out there and maybe change up some things
21:41as well.
21:42Yeah.
21:43That's probably a good timeout.
21:44You might as well talk things through.
21:46And kind of change that game plan as well.
22:09Here's Menjiadu.
22:11Hole defending.
22:14And it goes as the official calls the foul.
22:18Count it.
22:18And Joe shoots one more at the line.
22:21One for Dallas.
22:22Double C by Menjiadu.
22:25Shooting one.
22:37Now, Joe Hannes.
22:39Five points in the game.
22:40Miller.
22:42Sweet little floater.
22:44Love the determination from Diamond.
22:47Refusing to let the physical defense throw her off.
22:56Back to Sims.
22:58Takes the three.
23:00And Bell pulls it down.
23:07Good work there as it goes.
23:09Great teamwork out there.
23:11Setting the table for one another.
23:13They're playing as one.
23:15Five straight baskets resulting from assists.
23:17Great team basketball.
23:19Now, five seconds separating the shot clock and the game clock.
23:23Using her height to her advantage,
23:25Segrist can see the whole floor and distribute accordingly.
23:28Go Hannes.
23:30Go Hannes.
23:30She's covered by Sims.
23:40the shot's good the defenders didn't really even get a sniff of her on that move to the iron
23:46that will count and released it in time but it's off the mark and that's it for the third quarter
23:54both teams scoring well as we head into the fourth up five and time for a short break stay
24:01right where you are the fourth quarter is coming up next
24:16we welcome you back to what has been a good one here as we get into the fourth quarter
24:25the wings trail
24:32there's the triple the offensive rebound
24:37segrist misses they depend on her to convert those chances a lot of times even with solid defense
24:44draped on her
24:47here's hold so the whistle blows on the shot two free throws for the contact there
24:54it's going to go on odyssey sims but coming into her own in this league lexi hall making the most
24:59of
24:59three minutes
25:06both shots good from the stripe
25:12now here is sims
25:24back to gumbo wale shock pocket five
25:29and the three off target personally i am shocked that didn't turn into three points
25:34she makes you pay on those nearly every time pass to miller johannes all up top
25:43from the elbow she can't get that one to fall dallas with the ball they trail by seven
25:51and she makes that one very nice touch dropping that one in
25:59here's johannes
26:02bell to the middle
26:05got a hand on it and they're able to recover and the shot goes in
26:12we're just over a minute and a half now into the fourth
26:16pass to suarez
26:23and she drops in the layup off glass
26:26land her defender straight into that screen to open up the lane to the hoop
26:34it's diamond miller on the wing and here's bell
26:39down low
26:43rebound dallas well if this ball game comes down to the rebounding battle they'll be the ones coming out
26:50on top they've had a strong game on that front without question now here is sims that's good and
26:57it's stephanie suarez with the assist a disciplined player with a consistent offensive attack sims alters
