04:20to the middle
04:22and thomas
04:23gets it to go
04:25beating opponents with physicality
04:28i love that rugged old school style that thomas can bust out
04:36that's her second shot in her second basket
04:39my math says that's two for two
04:42that assist got a little nod from her teammate after the bucket
04:48oh it's a thomas attacking
04:50up and in
04:51off to an efficient start
04:52two for three from the field
04:54a quick forward who can beat defenders off the dribble
04:58thomas has a multi-faceted game
05:01pow pow
05:02bonner defending
05:04here's van der sloot

05:26whitcomb defending

05:37one for two this game
05:39that's a heads up play right there guys
05:41not just on the assist

05:48van der sloot defending
05:50back to thomas
05:51whitcomb
05:54second shot opportunity
05:56and thomas with the layup
05:58wow
05:59i mean come on
06:00that's ten straight points in the paint
06:02the defense
06:03it's just nowhere to be found
06:05they have to start committing more bodies down low
06:07and van der sloot gets it to go
06:10once you let van der sloot get to the rim
06:12the damage is already done
06:14she's too skilled around the basket
06:17outside whitcomb
06:18three pointer
06:20here's brown
06:21and she was fouled in the act
06:23with a serious opportunity for a three point play
06:26shooting one
06:27not much resistance on the inside
06:29that's their fifth consecutive mate in the paint
06:33those looks they're allowing are almost automatic
06:37in fact i'll just say it they are automatic
06:39and that one misses
06:41always great to see bigs who can hit from the charity stripe
06:46and brown
06:47definitely fits that mold
06:53pass to harrison
06:54and she dunks it down
06:56really a sweet move
06:58getting up there with the reverse
07:00love that
07:01and the fins
07:02they got a little show right there
07:04that one definitely had a little something extra guys
07:07a little mustard on it
07:09i've got to pick my jaw up off the floor guys
07:12you see it by the feet anywhere
07:13i can't fuck it right now
07:15that was incredible
07:16the scoring fast and furious
07:18as we end the first quarter
07:20it's the mercury
07:21they lead by four
07:23and the second quarter is on the way
07:26when we return
07:41and the first quarter in the book
07:42second about to get underway
07:45and what do you guys think about the mercury here in this one
07:48lots of running to start the game here
07:50it's a tempo that they like
07:52and they're getting some easy buckets in transition
08:01here's johannes
08:05good
08:06first shot
08:07first basket
08:08that is some dime dropping
08:11exquisite assist
08:16pass to mac
08:17back to williams
08:20now here's thomas
08:23and it's off from three point range
08:28now harrison
08:31and she hits it
08:33to tie up the game
08:35there chris passing
08:36it opened things up
08:37offensively
08:39yeah it makes the game easy
08:40ten straight points off of an assist
08:42that's impressive
08:46thomas
08:46no good
08:48they've got the opportunity
08:50to get back the lead
08:51they've been waiting for this chance
08:53lots of all-stars
08:55changed teams
08:56in the summer of 2024
08:58including
08:59alissa thomas
09:00spending her first 11 years
09:02with the connecticut sun
09:03finishing top five in mvp voting
09:06in each of her last three years
09:07thomas was so close to getting the sun
09:10their first wnba title
09:12losing twice in the finals
09:14this for thomas
09:15an incredible run
09:16in connecticut
09:17to the paint
09:19and she
09:20banks in the layup
09:21it's not hard to see why they're giving up points on this run
09:24just too many looks from in close
09:26you know usually when teams give up runs like this
09:29it's because they allow chances from inside
09:32make them beat you from deep
09:34timeout called the mercury
09:36so it's both teams making substitutions here
09:49we're now around a minute and a half into the second quarter
09:54to the inside
09:56and stolen by courtney vandersloot
09:58and here's the fast break
10:01down it goes
10:02for her third basket
10:03in as many tries
10:04and they're really keeping that ball hopping around
10:07yeah hip hopping around if you ask me
10:09look their last five trips have all ended with a great pass
10:13leading to a hoop
10:13they are really sharing the basketball
10:21pass to thomas
10:22baked in off the glass
10:24well just taking what she sees
10:26have to appreciate how thomas breaks down defenses
10:30and pick and rolls
10:36down low
10:38that one goes in for her two
10:40making it look easy
10:42she's now four for four
10:43that's just great ball movement
10:45and that's keep this run
10:47passing it
10:48with the purpose
10:50the d has not been able to keep up
10:52sometimes the best play is to move it
10:55whitcomb
10:55nice idea there
11:03mercury with the rebound
11:09elissa thomas on the wing
11:12rebound by juhas
11:14you know it's not been the best quarter for her
11:16as far as scoring
11:18we'll see if she can get back on track
11:20to the right side
11:22here's vandersloot
11:24whitcomb grabs the miss
11:29here in the second quarter
11:31just under three and a half minutes play
11:33connects from three point range
11:35that's just showing off right here guys
11:37she is too good with the crossover
12:03one item that stood out is their ball movement
12:06things are definitely clicking and more importantly it's tough to defend the ball
12:10pass to vandersloot
12:15drops in the layup for two
12:16they've shown some great passing on their last few trips down the floor
12:20you gotta imagine that their coach is very happy with that
12:23four straight passes leading to scores
12:25that's just great team play
12:27bonner outside
12:33thomas outside
12:35just five to shoot
12:38outside whitcomb
12:42kick out to bonner
12:44and again phoenix with the triple
12:47the scouting report on bonner is probably play off a bit
12:50but when in rhythm
12:52she is better
12:53as a shooter
12:57you haas
12:59she's covered by thomas
13:01you haas can't get it to go
13:03those chances
13:04usually they're two points for her
13:06the d i guessed it just enough to bother her
13:10here's thomas
13:11goanna bonner for gray
13:12that one no good
13:17here's pow pow
13:19and that one drops for her
13:24phoenix trailing here
13:28bonner outside
13:32the 11 footer
13:34down it goes for her third basket
13:36and as many tries
13:37shows off the playmaking ability
13:41bonner sees things on the court that other players simply don't
13:46pass to you haas
13:47from 15 feet away
13:49and it's off the back of the rim
13:51no good
13:55wick come with it
13:57she has six
13:58on her right side
14:02to the middle
14:03thomas
14:04nails the baby hook
14:06her ball distribution has been outstanding
14:09yeah tim all you have to do is look at the numbers
14:11those assists
14:12do not lie
14:13and they keep piling up
14:14here's pow pow
14:15goanna bonner with the block
14:18defense is all about effort
14:20bonner gives so much effort on this side of the ball
14:23fun to walk
14:29about seven seconds
14:31separating the shot and game clock
14:32pow pow gets the bucket
14:38and here the mercury
14:43up top thomas
14:45guarded by you haas
14:47basket by brown
14:48using her lengthy wingspan to her advantage
14:52brown is able to dominate down low
15:00no good from outside
15:01man the first half comes to an end
15:03we've got a close game going on here
15:05mercury out front
15:07up by two
15:08and we will see you back here after the break
15:11for third quarter basketball in just a bit
15:41up
15:52and we will be on the side of the wall
16:03and we're gonna go ahead
16:04and i'll see you back into the car
16:05we've got to karen
16:10i'm sorry
16:11you
16:11Well both sides have assessed what they need to do over the break and we'll see
16:15if one can pull away in the third. Alyssa Thomas with a strong contribution so
16:21far in this one. Sheer dominance in the post by her so far just tearing them to
16:26shreds when she gets the ball inside. And getting it to her is the only hard
16:31part because once she's got the rock she's automatic.
16:46Now Vandersloot over to the wing, puts it up from 12 and it's Phoenix with the
17:00rebound. Brown inside, Bonner inside.
17:10U-Haas is there. Bonner with the bucket. They're beginning to just fall apart
17:15defensively especially on the interior. Yeah they're crumbling like a cookie
17:20right now and that's four straight field goals they've allowed from within
17:24touching distance of the rim. Vandersloot outside from 17 feet out that's
17:30another one for her, her fifth in just seven shots. Smooth shooting from Courtney
17:36Vandersloot. She understands her role as a scorer and I would say she plays that role well.
17:41Yep, that goes. Nicely done. They continue to attack inside. That's ten points in a row from the paint.
17:48It's now become a here it comes and see if you can stop it.
17:53Vandersloot shot is off. You just assume she's gonna knock those down when she's as open as she was there.
18:02Here's Thomas. Looks good, is good. That's her seventh basket in 12 attempts. Up and in on every one of
18:11their first three shots to start this second half.
18:17Now here's Vandersloot. Guarded closely. Juhaas, that's good. So confident in her shooting ability. Juhaas gets the ball and goes
18:27right into her motion.
18:28Juhaas gets the ball and goes right into her position. Now a timeout called by Phoenix.
18:47Phoenix leading.
18:52Thomas outside. And a basket by Brown.
18:57We're seeing some good ball movement out of them. Definitely. Ten of their last twelve points have come off assists.
19:23And we're just about two minutes into the second half now.
19:30And it goes as the official calls the foul. Count it and she'll shoot one more at the line.
19:44And the free throw no good. The under-recruited going to college called too short. Courtney Vandersloot has always had
19:52a chip on her shoulder and has always defied expectations.
19:58Here's Thomas, basket number eight for her on 13 attempts. That's a 62% clip so far.
20:05That makes it ten of their last twelve points coming from inside the painted area. Just dominating down low.
20:13And obviously, that's something the defense has to address. Good work there as it goes.
20:19You know, she's having a nice quarter. Scoring with confidence.
20:26Bonner outside.
20:29Goes back up. And the bucket is good from Thomas in deep.
20:34Well, controlling the boards, they're plus five in that category.
20:37Yeah, and look, rebounding, it's not a glamorous stat, but you look at the scoreboard and you see the result.
20:45It's stolen by Alyssa Thomas.
20:50Here's Whitcomb. Misses the three.
20:57Just under three and a half minutes played here in the third quarter.
21:03Inside, Juhas. No good with the layup.
21:06It hasn't been a very good day for her, guys. And her team really needs her.
21:12Desperately needs her to start burying those shots.
21:18Here's Pau Pau. Uses the glass to finish the layup.
21:22Down there in the low post is where you want to create a lot of your offense.
21:27Timeout called the Mercury.
21:29Noticing the squad was getting a bit worn out there.
21:32And coach called time to let him grab a drink and revitalize.
21:43So, both teams changing it up here.
21:59And here is Bonner.
22:01She's got five. Pass to Whitcomb.
22:07Bonner outside.
22:09And again, Phoenix no good.
22:12Those have been some terrible shot choices, Blake.
22:16That was not good at all.
22:18Here's Pau Pau for three.
22:23She's covered by Brown.
22:25And there's the three-second violation.
22:28On Saturday, the Atlanta Dream are coming into town
22:32and it's going to kick off a homestand for them.
22:34Then on Monday, they head out on the road to face the Washington Mystics.
22:38Well, one way you can look at this difficult stretch against some of the best in the league,
22:42it's a chance to prove yourself.
22:45And it could provide a huge statement.
22:48It is definitely, though, going to be a challenge.
22:51Pass to Bonner.
22:53Here's Mack.
22:58Kick out to Bonner.
23:00Buries it from three-point range.
23:02A good look there.
23:03And she didn't waste it.
23:05Her second three of the game.
23:09Now here's Pau Pau.
23:11Whitcomb defending.
23:13Pau Pau gets the bucket.
23:15Are you sensing a theme, fellas?
23:17Because I am.
23:18I mean, they're taking it straight to the bucket every time down.
23:21And why not?
23:22Why not continue to take it to the bucket?
23:25That's eight straight points in the paint.
23:26They're making this a physical ball game.
23:34And there's the foul.
23:36It's going to go on Newhouse.
23:38That is her first foul of the game.
23:53Now here's Whitcomb.
23:55Six points for her.
23:56Fires for three.
23:58Hits it from three-point range.
24:01Look, I'm not sure who was supposed to pick her up,
24:03but someone's going to get an earful from the coach for leaving her that wide open.
24:08Whitcomb with the steal.
24:09And a fast break now for the Mercury.
24:14And she can't extend the lead to double digits.
24:18To the inside.
24:20And she drops in the layup off glass.
24:27Down low.
24:29Four seconds left.
24:30And she lays it in.
24:32That pass led her so perfectly, she didn't even have to break stride.
24:38And it's out of bounds for the Mercury as Phoenix retains possession.
24:53And that's it for the third quarter.
24:55Both teams scoring well as we head into the fourth.
24:59Mercury out in front.
25:00They're up by eight.
25:02And fourth quarter basketball will be coming your way on 2K Sports right after this.
25:22Hello and thanks for joining us again.
25:25The fourth quarter of play should begin in moments.
25:33Phoenix in the lead.
25:37Pass to Bibby.
25:41And here's Whitcomb.
25:42Three pointer.
25:44She's off on that one.
25:45Well, with a clear look at the basket, she doesn't really miss a lot of those.
25:50To the middle.
25:52Takes the assist and lays it in.
25:55Picked out the pass nicely.
25:57The deeper we get into this game, the more offense we're seeing.
26:02Yeah, both of these teams are firing on all cylinders right now.
26:05I love it.
26:06Here's Bibby.
26:07And she misses her first shot.
26:11Out to the right wing.
26:12To the paint.
26:14Vandersloot.
26:15Whitcomb defending.
26:16Vandersloot's shot is good.
26:18They're finding lanes to the hoop every time down.
26:21Five buckets in a row from the paint.
26:23And on the flip side, the defenders have to show more fight on the interior.
26:28Or at least some fight.
26:29Pass to Mack.
26:31Soft touch off the glass.
26:33Very nice touch dropping that one in.
26:37A few possessions into the fourth quarter.
26:39Just over one minute play.
26:45Here's Vandersloot.
26:47And the shot is good.
26:48Dropping in off the front of the rim.
26:51It's been Vandersloot's game so far.
26:53Her tenacious play on offense has been very productive with no signs of stopping.
27:00Pass to Whitcomb.
27:01Launches a three.
27:04It's rebounded by Courtney Vandersloot.
27:07Yeah, the great shooters.
27:08They know when they've got enough opening to go for the three.
27:11I didn't think it was a bad choice there.
27:13Yeah, not very good defensive coverage that time.
27:16But he got lucky.
27:18Plenty of drama in this one so far.
27:20Hopefully, from our standpoint at least, don't be surprised if it isn't decided until the final buzzer.
27:26We can only hope.
27:29Lays it up and in off the pretty assist.
27:32Pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now.
27:36I mean, there's more holes in their defense than in a block of Swiss cheese.
27:40Man, you just made me hungry.
27:41But that's right.
27:43Five of their last six makes were in tight.
27:46They've established themselves inside.
27:48Where's the cheese?
27:49That's what I call a captivating move right there.
27:52She absolutely incinerated the defense with that one.
27:56Shots good by Bell.
27:58Eight of the last ten points.
28:00That's right, you heard me right.
28:02Eight of their last ten points at that end of the court have been scored on very high percentage shots
28:07in the paint.
28:08Something's got to change.
28:09You know the defense making it far too easy for them and they're taking advantage.
28:14The second she got around the pick and shook her man, it was straight to the bucket for the easy
28:19deuce.
28:20Very well done.
28:23It's rebounded by Phoenix.
28:27Here's Whitcomb.
28:30And the layup falls.
28:32Wrist pass into the paint.
28:36Timeout, 018.
28:45Batsky!
28:49Batsky!
28:55Batsky!
28:58Batsky!
28:58Here's Pow Pow.
29:03Here in the fourth quarter, just under two and a half minutes gone by.
29:08Vander Sloot outside.
29:10Puts up a three.
29:12Offensive board.
29:14It counts!
29:16And the foul!
29:17But Alani Brown picks one up.
29:19Terrific job to convert the putback.
29:22She stayed with that play from start to finish and that's something you say about her a lot.
29:36Over three and a half minutes through the final quarter now.
29:43Bonner with it.
29:49For three.
29:51Rebound by Juhas.
29:53The defense has nothing to worry about out there with her shooting because she just can't dial it in to
29:59beat this half.
30:00In two minutes.
30:02Here's Pow Pow.
30:04That's another one for her.
30:06Her fifth in just seven shots.
30:10Phoenix with the ball.
30:12It's a one point game.
30:14Thomas is green.
30:18Vander Sloot defending.
30:20Got a hand on it!
30:22Such a versatile defender.
30:24Juhas affects each game with her shot blocking ability.
30:28And count it!
30:29The shot is good.
30:30Go to the line.
30:32Oh, they're apped up now.
30:34After training for so long, they've finally pulled ahead.
30:45That's just what the doctor ordered.
30:47And she makes good on the free throw with the hoop and the hard.
30:59Vander Sloot defending.
31:01Thomas using the post moves to get the two points.
31:05Well, with her stance to the game,
31:06Melissa Thomas knew they needed points.
31:12Now Vander Sloot past the Juhas.
31:17Vander Sloot outside.
31:20Now here's Juhas.
31:24Rebounded by DeJuanabon.
31:26And a fast break now for the Mercury.
31:29Pam Thomas!
31:30And the official whistle, a foul on the shot.
31:33The bucket's good, and she'll go to the line.
31:36But we'll beat it to Mercury.
31:38Inside the first.
31:41Shooting one.
31:49A lot of players say they want to be in those situations, but she truly does.
31:56What a clutch performance.
31:58That's the Juhas.
32:02Doesn't get it to drop for her.
32:04What a big possession right here.
32:07No question, guys.
32:08Tension.
32:09Calpable.
32:10Can you feel it?
32:11Oh, man.
32:12Can I ever.
32:13One thing that I'll always respect about Thomas is that when she steps on the court,
32:18she has zero, and I mean zero, friends.
32:22And it's because she wants to win by any means necessary.
32:28Superb assist.
32:30She was crafty, creative, and the ultimate teammate on that play.
32:35This has not been a quarter to remember for her.
32:38I mean, what's going on right now?
32:40What is this?
32:41She's not making any sort of impact for them at that end of the court.
32:46Here's Vander Sloot.
32:47Oh!
32:48No good!
32:49And so they choose to intentionally foul.
32:52A smart foul there to try to extend the game.
32:55Yeah, this isn't over, but the clock has much of a problem for them as the score is right now.
33:01And they need to miss free throws.
33:05He drops the first one.
33:07And that makes it a three-point lead.
33:14And she is unable to get the second one.
33:17A chance here to send it to overtime.
33:20They need a three.
33:25Oh!
33:26Unbelievable!
33:27Just in time.
33:29Best one for the highlight reel.
33:31Needed a three to extend the game, and she delivers.
33:35Talk about a clutch shot.
33:36No fear hoisting up the big three-point bucket.
33:40And this one is headed to overtime.
33:42Free basketball, boys and girls.
33:44Time expires, and we're going to overtime, baby!
33:48And we've got more exciting basketball action coming your way right after the break.
34:08Well, if you're just joining us, this one has been a great one.
34:12We've got overtime action now, folks.
34:27Pass to Bonner.
34:29Outside Whitcomb.
34:31From past the arc.
34:34And it's out of bounds.
34:36The Mercury able to retain possession here.
34:38In peace.
34:47Here's Thomas.
34:48Nails the wide-open jump shot.
34:51Such a well-rounded talent.
34:53And when Thomas starts to feel it, she can really do damage from the mid-range.
35:08And here is Vanderson.
35:08Nails the understanding those guys out there.
35:16What are you doing withjego assisting definitely with him?
35:18Charles!"
35:19Dan Rooney!
35:19Asha, nasha, nasha!
35:20Why are you doing that?
35:21And here's Vanderson!
35:29the three
35:31the shot no good
35:33Phoenix leading
35:35and up the court comes the Mercury
35:37on the break
35:37Potter no good
35:43and her flute outside
35:46puts it up

35:47it's rebounded by Phoenix
35:53outside Whitcomb
35:54Brown that one goes
35:56count it
35:57I like that she almost pulled the trigger
36:00but then she recognized there was a better option
36:02made a nice pass
36:06pass for you Haas
36:09fires from deep
36:10count that one as her seventh make
36:13in eight attempts
36:14that's a scorching 86%
36:16she's made the most of her chances hasn't she
36:18needs to keep on working
36:20to get these good looks
36:24here's Bonner
36:25count it
36:26good deed
36:27but guess what
36:28Bonner tied at 6-4
36:29coupled with her
36:30touch and leaping ability
36:32make her dangerous down low
36:35pass to Vandersloot
36:37let's go with a three
36:38hands it from downtown
36:40why not have Vandersloot take the big shot
36:43she's the best ball handler on the floor
36:46I like leaving it in her hands
36:50here's Whitcomb
36:52tried to come right back with the three of her own
36:55but it's no good
36:57to take the lead
36:59and it's good on the layup
37:01just really good awareness right there on the assist
37:03the Mercury trail
37:09around two minutes into OT now
37:11it's been a good one
37:14pass to Thomas
37:1611 feet out
37:17and no good
37:19trying to use the glass
37:22here's Vandersloot
37:26Whitcomb grabs the miss
37:30and here's Bonner
37:32from downtown
37:34the shot that time
37:35not on target
37:36and we can probably expect to see them slow it down now
37:40yeah burn some clock while they have to lead
37:43make it your friend
37:43get their number
37:44text them
37:46take advantage of some
37:47shotty D there
37:49they gotta at least get a finger on her
37:52and the Mercury call time here
38:19one second separating the shot clock and the game clock
38:22and a foul called on Vandersloot
38:25that's foul number two for her
38:27and these calls
38:28they can be some of the toughest calls for officials to make
38:32but in this case
38:33I think she got it right
38:35the defender's still moving there
38:37and never really got set
38:39and it's out of bounds to the Mercury
38:42as Phoenix retains possession
38:52they lead by four
38:55can they get it
38:57that shot
38:58off the mark
38:59and they commit the intentional foul
39:01and we'll see another one of those
39:02so that they can get into the penalty
39:10here's Vandersloot
39:11and now we've got the intentional foul
39:15first personal foul
39:16second team foul
39:29so the first one drops
39:30and that puts them up five
39:39so she gets them both
39:40and it's a six point ball game
39:42no mistakes there
39:44and I think you can close the book on this one guys
39:59and it's the Mercury with the ball
40:02here's Whitcomb
40:04and again
40:05Phoenix no good
40:08and so it's a victory for the road team in this one
40:11they had some nervous moments down the stretch
40:14but things finally came together for them in the overtime
40:16you know they didn't probably anticipate a close one down the wire in regulation
40:20but they picked it up a notch
40:22and I thought this overtime period was outstanding
40:25this win has got to feel very satisfying
40:29that'll do it for our broadcast everyone
40:31don't you know it's fun
40:56it's fun
