00:04Hey folks, welcome in to some WNBA action on 2K Sports.
00:09We'll see the Atlanta dream.
00:11I'm Blake Suniga, and with me at the broadcast table are Tim Swartz and Brian Banapatemi.
00:18And starting to look at the back half of the season now.
00:21Is it too early to start talking about regular season awards?
00:24Well, for MVP, I think that field has been narrowed down at this point.
00:28There are a clear group of women who have a real shot at MVP.
00:32And as for the rest of the awards, a few of them are still wide open.
00:36A lot can change between now and the end of the season.
00:59Here we go.
01:03It'll be the dream off the tip.
01:08Pass to Reese.
01:1311 feet out, and she hits it.
01:16When she breaks out the crossover, you can be sure.
01:18She's going to leave somebody in her wake.
01:22To the middle.
01:26Van der Sloot outside.
01:29Pow, pow.
01:31Over Gray.
01:32Pow, pow gets the bucket.
01:35Great communication between teammates there.
01:40Here's McDonald.
01:45Pass to Gray.
01:48Goes outside.
01:50And here's Ryan Howard from the arc.
01:52He can't get it to go.
01:54For this Atlanta team, it's been a long time since they've won a playoff series.
01:59More than a decade at this point.
02:012013 was their last series win.
02:032018, their last year, over .500.
02:05So dream fans are hungry for a winner.
02:08Now here's McDonald.
02:13Rebounded by pow, pow.
02:14Now, the D was ready for her that time, and they had to be.
02:17She is strong in the paint.
02:19Stolen by Jones.
02:23Pass to Reese.
02:26Outside McDonald.
02:28Jones.
02:29Guarded by Juhasz.
02:32Out to Howard.
02:53Now, Van der Sloot.
02:57Pass to Burrell.
03:00Down low.
03:01Down low.
03:02Down low.
03:03Inside.
03:05Weighs it up and banks it in.
03:07Down there in the low post is where you want to create a lot of your offense.
03:14Now, here's McDonald.
03:17Out to Howard.
03:18Takes the three.
03:20Rebounded by pow, pow.
03:21Hard to figure out why she didn't bury that one.
03:24Hard to figure out why she didn't bury that one.
03:25I'm a defender near her.
03:27Burrell.
03:28Pass to Juhasz.
03:31And there's the call on McDonald.
03:33That's her first foul.
03:36First personal foul.
03:43Here's Van der Sloot.
03:44And here's Burrell.
03:46Guarded by Howard.
03:49Now, here's pow, pow.
03:51Just five on the clock.
03:53Buhasz.
03:54Buhasz.
03:56Buhasz.
03:56Buhasz can't get it to go.
03:59Atlanta trailing here.
04:02On the wing, Ryan Howard.
04:04Trying to get back on track.
04:05And she's still waiting to make her first shot of the night.
04:09Now, 0 for 4.
04:10Yeah.
04:11I mean, she has been way off the mark before it is getting rough.
04:15Shots good by Burrell.
04:17That's just great ball movement.
04:18And that's Keith's run.
04:20Passing it with a purpose.
04:23Kadee has not been able to keep up.
04:26Now, here's McDonald.
04:27The open shot.
04:28Angel Reese.
04:29And once again, off the mark by Atlanta.
04:34Pass to Burrell.
04:35From 7.
04:37Ann Jones pulls it down.
04:40They've been looking out of sorts here in the last few possessions.
04:43This is when they need to be patient and find a high percentage shot.
04:49Outside McDonald.
04:52Now to Howard.
04:53Beyond the arc.
04:55It doesn't go for her.
04:56This has not been a corner to remember for her.
04:59I mean, what's going on right now?
05:01What is this?
05:01She's not making any sort of impact for them at that end of the game.
05:06And stolen by Aerie McDonald.
05:09And here we go.
05:10The dream on the fast break.
05:12Reese gets the bucket.
05:13She's hit the ground running here in the first quarter.
05:16And just has put together a nice quarter offensively.
05:22Pass to Burrell.
05:23U-Haas.
05:26Here's Vandersloot.
05:29One up.
05:30One down.
05:31She makes her first shot in this game.
05:33Got to be disciplined against Vandersloot.
05:36If she gets a clean look at the rim, she usually converts.
05:40Now Reese.
05:41Guarded by U-Haas.
05:45Reese, no good.
05:46Good.
05:46Some great tight defense right there.
05:49Got right up on her and forced the miss.
05:52Just close enough to bother her on the shot, but disciplined enough to avoid too much contact.
05:59A nice shot by Vandersloot.
06:01Every time they get scored on during this run, it seems like it's come from inside the paint.
06:06Buckle up on defense.
06:08Yeah, it's time to collapse down and make them shoot jumpers.
06:12From D, Felicia Gray.
06:14No good there.
06:19Reese defending.
06:21Here's U-Haas.
06:23Lays it up and in off the pretty assist.
06:26This has been a great job of getting into the middle of that defense and scoring from the paint.
06:32You know, really, that's why they're on this run.
06:35You get that close to the hoop, and it's a lot easier to drop scotting.
06:39From D, Felicia Gray.
06:41Rebound by U-Haas.
06:43Three seconds separating the shot clock and the game clock.
06:48Here's Vandersloot.
06:50Down it goes for her third basket and as many tries.
06:54And there are more points onto an early lead that just keeps on growing.
06:59And a nice lead hit is.
07:01And it's no mystery how they've done it.
07:03They are attacking that bucket.
07:05Here's Howard.
07:06Gets a very good look and converts.
07:10Here's Vandersloot.
07:13Good if it goes.
07:15Oh!
07:15It goes!
07:16It got the shot and the ball!
07:17It goes!
07:18She got it!
07:19She got it!
07:20She ends the quarter with a money three as the buzzer sounds.
07:24They knew exactly what they wanted to do there and the timing couldn't have been better.
07:29You just can't end a quarter better than that.
07:31Domination in the first quarter.
07:33It's been pretty lopsided.
07:35They lead by 13.
07:36They lead by 13.
07:37And we'll be back right after this.
07:57Well, not exactly a neck and neck game, but as the second quarter starts, there is plenty of time for
08:03a comeback.
08:03The ball movement from them in the first half.
08:07Absolutely terrific.
08:08Very timely passing from them.
08:11And that's fun to watch.
08:19Covered by Vivian.
08:20Covered by Vivian.
08:26Connects on the jump shot.
08:28Well, we've seen that more than a few times.
08:31Easy bucket in the paint.
08:32The interior defense at that end has been lifeless to say the least.
08:38Now, here's Vivian.
08:41Pass to Endor Fall.
08:44Back to Vivian's.
08:51Can't connect from short range.
08:53They have a very long way to go to get within sight of the lead.
08:57And Blake, from what we've seen so far, if I were you, for your help, don't hold your breath.
09:03Yeah, yeah.
09:04That'd be a very bad idea.
09:05I mean, that's just too easy for Howard.
09:08Is the defense going to rush her off the three-point line?
09:11Or is she going to make these all night long?
09:14Out for the right wing.
09:16From the elbow.
09:18And it's Atlanta with the rebound.
09:23Outside Vivian's.
09:25Count that bucket.
09:26She did so well to lead her teammate right to the ideal spot.
09:31That's the kind of playmaking coaches like to see.
09:41And here's Bell.
09:42She's been patient so far.
09:44Nothing yet on the scoreboard.
09:46Six to shoot.
09:47Takes the 13-footer.
09:49It's not going to go for her.
09:51They've got a chance here to cut the deficit to within ten.
09:55Three Ryan Howard.
09:56And the dream another three.
09:59They've got to watch out for Howard on those quarter threes.
10:02Because she will live in that spot all game long if they let him.
10:06And they pick up two.
10:08Of their last six baskets, five have come on the interior.
10:12This is smash-mouth basketball, guys.
10:15Yeah, they're really imposing their will offensively and getting exactly the kind of looks they want.
10:22And it goes out of bounds following the shot.
10:26And the dream making a change here.
10:39And a little under two and a half minutes gone by here in this second quarter.
10:46To the inside.
10:47Juhasz.
10:48That's basket number two with their third shot.
10:51Off to a fast two for three.
10:53That's a strong, strong move by Juhasz.
10:56It's good.
10:58Nice pass.
10:59She got that ball right into her teammate's shooting pocket.
11:03And it yielded great results.
11:05To the paint.
11:06Here's Juhasz.
11:07And the layup's good off the glass.
11:10Some defensive breakdowns happening now.
11:13Their last four buckets allowed have come from very close range.
11:17And giving up these high percentage shot attempts, it's not going to get it done.
11:21They need to figure it out.
11:24McDonald, no good.
11:29Pass to Johannes.
11:38Down low.
11:40Here's Juhasz.
11:41Banked in off the glass.
11:43That's the tenth straight point they've given up in the paint.
11:45It doesn't matter how good their perimeter defense is if they keep allowing easy looks inside.
11:51Atlanta calls timeout.
11:53Tough to see.
11:54She has not been on her game.
11:55She's been forcing a lot of shots.
11:57They've suffered because of it.
11:58It's time for her to let her teammates get involved.
12:06So it's both teams making substitutions here.
12:22And here in the second quarter of action as we approach four minutes played.
12:26Here's McDonald.
12:28Here's McDonald.
12:28The shot goes in.
12:29First of the night, she is one for three to start the contest.
12:33One of the fastest players in the WNBA.
12:36Good luck staying in front of McDonald.
12:39Now here's Pau Pau.
12:42Two minutes remaining.
12:43Two minutes.
12:46Here's Juhasz.
12:47Second chance shot.
12:48And it's good on the layup.
12:50They own the paint right now.
12:52Ten straight coming from the inside.
12:53They are constantly finding lanes to the hoop.
12:57Getting great looks in tight.
13:00Three.
13:01No good.
13:02We don't see that too often.
13:03Plenty of space and she rips on an open jumper.
13:06Pass to Juhasz.
13:07And here's Pau Pau.
13:09That's her second shot and her second basket.
13:12My math says that's two for two.
13:15Boy, not a lot of resistance inside and they're taking advantage.
13:18That aspect of this game, you know, the play and the paint has gone almost entirely their way.
13:25Absolutely.
13:26McDonald, no good.
13:27He got away with a major lapse there.
13:30Pau Pau up top.
13:32And the layup falls.
13:34One aspect of their play today that's been far superior is their passing.
13:39And that kind of flow, it can be elusive, but the great offenses have it.
13:44And that's just what they've shown tonight.
13:46McDonald, no good.
13:48With the success they've had rebounding, the basketball, they're right where you'd expect them to be.
13:53And that's firmly in the driver's seat.
13:55Rebounding, it's an effort stack.
13:58They've been the more determined team to this point.
14:02Now here's Jones.
14:04Looking for a first basket still in this one.
14:09Victoria Vivians on the wing.
14:11Five to shoot.
14:13For three.
14:16And once again off the mark by Atlanta.
14:22Pass to Juhas.
14:24Back to Vandersloot.
14:26To the middle.
14:27Shoots it.
14:28Nails the baby hook.
14:30What a passing display she's putting on.
14:32She is spoiling us today.
14:35Just another incredible assist for the highlight reel.
14:39And the reel is getting quite long.
14:41Pan through one half.
14:42It hasn't even been close.
14:4418.
14:45Up 19.
14:47And we'll see you right after halftime for the beginning of the third quarter.
14:51From the car.
14:59It's over.
15:02, , , . .
15:05, . . .
15:09, , , . .
15:13, . .
15:47We'll see you next time.
15:59And welcome back as we begin the second half.
16:02So far, not a tightly contested game, but anything can happen.
16:06And you have to like what we've seen from Dorka Juhasz.
16:10She's the ringleader of their offense, and we saw that in the first half with the way she passed the
16:15ball.
16:16She kept everybody in step with each other.
16:18And that's just the thing.
16:20She knows how to keep the offense balanced and just makes sure that there's always enough looks for everyone.
16:32Here's Vandersloot.
16:3419-point lead, which is the largest margin in the game.
16:37Inside, to the wing, right side.
16:43Soft touch off the glass.
16:45They've shown some great passing on their last few trips down the floor.
16:49You've got to imagine that.
16:50Their coach is very happy with that.
16:52Four straight passes leading to scores.
16:54That's just great team play.
16:58Here's Jones.
17:00And a foul called on the shot.
17:02Got her on the way up that time, so she'll shoot two.
17:06Well, after spending her first eight seasons in Connecticut, Brianna Jones has a new home.
17:12Yeah, what a run it was for her with the sun.
17:15Didn't start a game until her fourth year there, but ended up making three all-star games.
17:20She was a huge part of two finals teams.
17:23He's perfect from the line this time.
17:25He's got to love the old-school nature of Jones' game.
17:296'3", doesn't take a lot of threes.
17:31Knows her role.
17:32Interior scoring and defense.
17:37Pass to Burrell.
17:40And her salute outside.
17:42Shoes over McDonald.
17:44And Jones pulls it down.
17:48Now McDonald.
17:50Back to Gray.
17:53Here's Reese.
17:54Got a piece of it.
17:55Now here's Jones.
17:57To the inside.
18:00Reese, no good.
18:01Boy, coming out of halftime slow.
18:030 for 3.
18:05Pass to PowPow.
18:06Vander Sloot left side.
18:09Now PowPow.
18:13It's good as five others before it were.
18:16He's now shooting six for seven.
18:18Their crisp passing has opened things up offensively.
18:22Yeah, it makes the game easy.
18:23Ten straight points off of an assist.
18:26That's impressive.
18:27Maybe the rest did more harm than good for them.
18:30They've been cold coming out and have yet to connect.
18:34Back to Vander Sloot.
18:35Pass to Juhas.
18:38Vander Sloot.
18:39Guarded by McDonald.
18:40Now Burrell.
18:43Over Howard.
18:46And a foul called on Vander Sloot.
18:49That'll be her second foul of the game.
18:51And the dream call time here.
18:54Really, they're not pleased at all with the looks they've given up inside.
18:57And they want to talk to the team about tightening things up defensively.
19:02Well, that's what's got to happen.
19:03And I'm sure the coaches will let them know about it.
19:06I mean, they're playing some soft interior defense.
19:09And that's a recipe for disaster.
19:19Atlanta with the ball.
19:24Outside McDonald.
19:26And here's Ryan Howard from the arc.
19:28The dream again can't hit.
19:30Five shots about to make.
19:32A ragged start coming out of halftime.
19:34Stolen by Jones.
19:41Outside McDonald.
19:44And once again, off the mark by Atlanta.
19:47You've got to give them credit for the job they've done on the boards.
19:51Well, guys, they've done a lot of things well.
19:53But their rebounding is right at the top of the list.
20:17Pass to Burrell.
20:20Here's Pau Pau.
20:25Guarded by Jones.
20:29To the right side.
20:31Here's Vandersloot.
20:32Hands the shot from the wings.
20:34They're efficient scoring.
20:35A nice lift to their offense tonight.
20:41Outside McDonald.
20:44The second chance effort.
20:46And she lays it up and in.
20:48Well, we saw this in her collegiate career.
20:50The fear of contact does not exist in Angel Rees.
20:55Pass to Burrell.
20:56Deflects the pass.
21:01Gray defending.
21:03Here's Juhasz.
21:05Pau Pau.
21:07It's hauled in by Reese.
21:16Reese defending.
21:18Inside.
21:22It's hauled in by Angel Rees.
21:28Outside Howard.
21:29Jones.
21:35Pass to Howard.
21:37Puts up a three.
21:38Drills the three-pointer.
21:39Wow.
21:41Howard with the quick release.
21:43One item that stood out is their ball movement.
21:46Kings are definitely clicking.
21:47And more importantly, it's tough to defend.
21:50To the paint.
21:52Count that one as her seventh pick in eight attempts.
21:55That's a scorching 86%.
21:57That pass into the paint was dead on target.
22:03Pass to Howard.
22:06And here is Jones.
22:09Picked by Jones.
22:11Gray.
22:12And it's in.
22:14After a nice bounce off the right iron.
22:16Showing great court awareness.
22:19Gray has a knack for making the right reads and pick and rolls.
22:24Now you, Haas.
22:28No luck on that one.
22:33Outside Howard.
22:35Pass to McDonald.
22:38Howard.
22:40And again, Atlanta with the triple.
22:43I think she owes the three-pointer dinner.
22:45It's been her best friend today.
22:47No question.
22:48Well, it has been today anyway.
22:50I mean, look, most of her points have been courtesy of the deep ball.
22:54Out to the left wing.
23:01Block at six.
23:04Here's Burrell.
23:06Juhas.
23:06Reese defending.
23:08Juhas can't get it to go.
23:10And Atlanta has possession.
23:13Trailing by 13.
23:17McDonald with it.
23:19To Howard.
23:20There's the triple.
23:22Doesn't get it to drop forward.
23:26Here's Burrell.
23:28That one falls.
23:29And a nice feed that time from Pow Pow.
23:31Good job to create the easy bucket.
23:35From deep.
23:37The shot.
23:38No good.
23:39Burrell threw three quarters of play.
23:41Down double digits.
23:42It may be difficult to overcome.
23:44Up by 15.
23:46Don't go anywhere.
23:47The final quarter is coming up next on 2K Sports.
24:07And we're rolling here again with the fourth quarter.
24:10Might not come down to the wire, but you never know.
24:13No.
24:21Here's McDonald.
24:23Past the end or fall.
24:25Vivian.
24:26There's the three.
24:28And Bell pulls it down.
24:34here's johannes the tray can't hit that one
24:45here's jones and she uses the glass on the layup these inside looks are what jones is all about
24:52she knows how to outwork the defense past the bell and her salute outside
25:04and she drops in the layup off glass that's the third bucket in a row from the paint and i
25:10know
25:10nobody likes a traffic jam but this defense needs to clog those lanes in the middle yeah nobody
25:16likes the traffic jam we can agree on that they can't allow the offense to get those high quality
25:22looks inside yeah she had an established position and that's the call you want the rest to make in
25:28that situation if there's any doubt at all it should be a block i agree give the offense the
25:33benefit of the doubt outside mcdonald
25:41ass to vivians live on the clock goes up high pumps that shot off the shot was there for her
25:48he had to take it and i don't care if she didn't convert she should take it again next time
25:54she
25:55gets it in there these defenders look overmatched right now especially inside they've given up
26:0210 of the last 12 points with close range so i'd have to agree
26:09pass the indoor ball
26:15back to mcdonald takes the three doesn't go for her those have been some terrible shot choices like that
26:24that was not good at all
26:28it's rebounded by atlanta
26:32some tough offensive sets and they really want to turn it around they got to lock in
26:36and need a basket just to regain some momentum always helps to get a player like jones a center
26:42setting up others
26:54both teams will make substitutions
27:06with the prospect of making a big lead even bigger they should jump at this chance stretch
27:11that lead out as much as possible stolen by brianna jones
27:18alicia gray she's open and she gets it to go hitting off the back of the rim
27:25a little over two and a half minutes have passed by now here in the fourth quarter
27:30pass to pow pow
27:32yuhas
27:35burrell guarded by howard now here's pow pow
27:40to the middle now juhas over reese
27:48out of bounds it'll go to the dream
28:03now howard
28:08outside mcdonald
28:11that's in coming off an assist from ryan howard and add another three-pointer to their second half
28:16total they came out of the break dropping bombs and are just not letting up you love to see that
28:23vandersloot right side past the burrell
28:28over howard
28:30burrell no good that's a bad bad miss i'd like to see her be a little more assertive
28:37when she has such good positions oh they made a great run to make this game close again and now
28:42is
28:42no time to take their foot off the gas they've got to keep going and i'm sure they will i
28:48mean
28:48they're close enough to taste it and they're going to keep the pressure on and just keep on coming it
28:53it's just so hard to make the comeback all the way and take the lead though atlanta calls timeout
29:23and so here's atlanta
29:26so far in the fourth quarter they've allowed just six points for a three ryan howard
29:32that one no good well with the clear look at the basket she doesn't really miss a lot of those
29:38here's vandersloot and cast the basket she was fouled and she's going to the line for one more
29:53and that one misses the under recruited going to college called too short courtney vandersloot has
30:00always had a tip on her shoulder and has always defied expectations well she for one hasn't let
30:07them down but a few of her teammates need to pick up the pace and pick it up fast pow
30:13pow gray defending
30:19past the pow pow pow vandersloot outside down to five on the shot clock down low
30:28yuhas can't get it to go yeah remember that that's not an opportunity she fails to convert very often
30:35here's gray there's mcdonald basket is good the assist from alicia gray playing way above her listed
30:44height mcdonald's not afraid down low
30:49right wing past the yuhas
30:57and a missed layup
31:02on the wing ryan howard reese score the bucket she is seven for eleven and continues to look good
31:10good pass work the assist was right on target and so they fell intentionally
31:29she doesn't hit the first and that was one they really wanted she's got one more though
31:38that's good going one of two from the line and that makes it a seven point lead atlanta calls timeout
31:44well i'm sure that's the the coach is telling him it ain't over till it's over
31:49but uh i think it is yeah tim it's not looking good for them it's got to be a quick
31:54bucket
31:55a quick foul and then see what happens i guess miracles do happen sometimes brian
32:12and atlanta has possession three ryan howard rebound by you hoss and they're in good position here to
32:20ride it out they certainly are if they play smart here this game's over about three seconds between the
32:26shot clock and game clock
32:30past the vandersloot and here's burrell clock at four
32:36elbow shot on the way a nice shot by vandersloot
32:45and so the home crowd treated to a win some good moments throughout this one but they had the clear
32:52advantage down the stretch yeah they did a great job of executing both the offensively defensively playing
32:57and the goal where they had a misstep and they got right back to work and made up for us
33:03so that's going to do it for this one folks
33:05uh
33:06uh
