03:20This team is so good at reading the defense and getting back to work.
03:25Malanga, bumped, no call, and it's a turnover.
03:29Miles against Heidemann.
03:31Heidemann does a nice job getting in front, forcing the foul where she couldn't get the and one.
03:40Time for our Providence-Swedish road to recovery.
03:45Azimagvigor still out with the facial injury.
03:48Got the wrap-off.
03:50Hopefully we'll see Ezzie pretty soon back in the lineup.
03:54Sonja Raman confirmed it is a broken nose, and she will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks.
04:00So we don't know how soon after the All-Star break, but it's been a tough season for Azimagvigor in
04:06terms of injury, and she has missed on the court.
04:09Azimagvigor in her first six seasons missed eight total games.
04:13She has missed 24 this year.
04:15Wow.
04:16Just one of those anomalies in Azimagvigor's career.
04:21The only anomaly.
04:25Heidemann tried to get by Williams.
04:27That's going to be a fun matchup to watch as it was on Monday night, and Heidemann scores there with
04:31the left.
04:37There's Williams.
04:39Turns it over.
04:39Always got it.
04:40Natisha got a hand on it.
04:45Early post of Dawn Malanga.
04:47What are you going to do, Natasha Howard?
04:49Absolutely nothing when Dawn catches it three feet from the basket.
04:53And that was something that Natasha was able to do in the game one.
04:57Push her out of the key early as possible, but Dawn clearly an emphasis to post up early and deep.
05:03Collier trying to get on the board for the first time.
05:05No rebound Malanga.
05:09Collier tries to float it over the top.
05:12Interesting noticing on the last possession there when McBride drives, there's a lot of congestion today.
05:18More congestion defensively than she saw on Monday night.
05:21Yeah, I think the defense will be sharp early.
05:23There are going to be adjustments that we'll see from Sonia Raman like we did there with the pick.
05:27And Dawn Malanga inside the restricted area.
05:31She just didn't get those looks when Natasha Howard was in the game on Monday.
05:35Miles goes right in strong.
05:37Offensive rebound tipped away.
05:39Up top, Heidemann from Melbourne scores.
05:43Nicely done.
05:44Seattle with the lead by two.
05:47Fast break points.
05:48That's what Seattle also wants to attack.
05:50They only got seven in game one, but Minnesota doesn't turn the ball over.
05:55They only had nine on Monday.
05:56Quick trigger three.
05:58Didn't even have the feet set.
05:59Kind of all a skew, and Kayla McBride does not matter for her.
06:03Kayla McBride has scored 23 or more in seven games in a row.
06:09If she does it today, she will tie the WNBA record with eight games in a row, 23 points or
06:14more.
06:15Three ball Malanga in the corner, and there's Dom knocking down the first triple of the game for Seattle.
06:21And if you give her space, she will drill it.
06:26I'm kind of surprised she hasn't shot more threes this year.
06:29I thought there would be maybe four-ish attempts a game, and it's been more in the two range, because
06:34she is a good shooter.
06:36Well, I was taking all those pictures.
06:38That's a great call.
06:39She should.
06:40That's a great call.
06:42Malanga with the rebound, staying tough on the glass of Seattle.
06:46Storm with seven boards.
06:48Malanga, here's another three.
06:50That one's well short.
06:52Stepped into one who was still probably about two feet behind the three-point line on that one.
06:57A little early heat check and new hairstyle for Dom Malanga.
07:00I see a few hairstyle changes.
07:02Olivia Miles, Natisha Heidemann, now Dom.
07:06That's right.
07:07Right before the All-Star break, everyone's changing it up.
07:10There's Miles with it.
07:12Hoorstin, who had a great game on Monday night, comes in here, and the bucket goes to Natasha Howard to
07:20tie things up.
07:26Here's Fong.
07:28Screamed by Heidemann.
07:29Kick back.
07:31He thinks about it, now drives in and is fouled by Miles on the hill.
07:35Good attack by Natisha Heidemann, one of your participants in the three-point shootout on Friday night.
07:43And this is what makes Olivia Miles so hard to stop on the other end.
07:47Watch her stop on a dime.
07:48I mean, she gets past Jordan Hoorstin, which is not easy to do.
07:51One of the quickest defenders you're going to see.
07:54Stops immediately and makes a perfect pass to Natasha Howard's pocket.
07:58That's why she is so hard to guard on that on-ball.
08:00How do you defend her?
08:02You can't let her get in front of you, but even if she does, she's unpredictable.
08:06So Olivia Miles has to sit.
08:09The only person in foul trouble for Minnesota Monday night was Howard.
08:13None of the guards were even close to foul trouble.
08:15And all of a sudden, Miles here sits after playing just five minutes.
08:24Brian Hypost, now the handoff.
08:26Oh, there's that mid-range jumper from Courtney Williams, but she misses that one.
08:34Oh, hands off.
08:35Hydeman.
08:38Seattle does seem to have a lot of confidence playing this Minnesota team.
08:41At least confidence on offense playing this Minnesota team.
08:45I mean, Hydeman again right there.
08:47They've been able to get to the rim at will over the last two games against Minnesota.
08:52Well, in the first matchup in Minnesota, they hit nine threes over the past.
08:57Yes.
08:57And we're feeling it on national TV.
09:00McBride stepped back three, knocking it down.
09:04Picking up where she left off Monday.
09:07The one, two, Euro, Flaugé Johnson again into the paint.
09:13Paint points for Seattle already with ten.
09:16Slowed it down perfectly.
09:18Flaugé with the body control.
09:22Jesus!
09:23Jesus!
09:25Jesus!
09:26Jesus!
09:27Jesus!
09:30Jesus!
09:31Fouled on the three by Flaugé Johnson, and she'll go to the line for three.
09:36And she is well on her way to that 23 points.
09:39We'll keep an eye on that, trying to become just the third player ever.
09:43With 23 points in eight consecutive games, joining Asia Wilson and Diana Taurasi.
09:50Pretty good company.
09:51Seattle by gravity.
09:52So, basically, the amount of attention you get by the defense.
09:55Marina Mabry is first, Sonia Citron second, and Ryan Howard is third.
10:00So, it's mainly the great shooters.
10:03When you take a look at this list, there's Carlton on it, Fudd's on it, Mitchell's on it, Gray.
10:09So, it's more the shooters than it necessarily is the penetrators.
10:13Because if the ball goes away from a great shooter, you're going to stay on that shooter,
10:18even if the ball's 20 feet away from that shooter.
10:20Yeah, and with Kayla McBride, even early here, she's got a couple made threes.
10:25Stormer fighting over the top of screens.
10:27Her release is so fast that it's almost impossible to block her shot.
10:31And you saw Flaugé Fowler trying to contest.
10:34So, that quick release makes her a near-impossible guard.
10:37Bounce pass inside.
10:39Contended for coffee, and it's off her hands, out of bounds.
10:42And she's also averaging 27.7 points over the last seven games.
10:46She's on a heater, averaging 50% from three.
10:49Only Kelsey Mitchell has averaged 2.2 more points than her in the past seven games.
10:55And against Seattle, she is unbelievable.
10:58We'll give you those numbers in just a second.
11:01Iteman crossover.
11:02Now behind the back, gives it off.
11:03Zyacook, who had a tremendous game.
11:0518 points Monday night into the game.
11:07Tries to stay hot.
11:08Picked up where she left off.
11:09No, but Jordan Horstin picks up where she left off, being active.
11:13Katie Liu has been striking from deep lately.
11:16Misses that one.
11:17Horstin tries to hustle it down in the corner.
11:19Mention McBride against Seattle since the beginning of 2024.
11:23So we're talking about almost three full seasons of games against the Storm.
11:2845 of 90 from three.
11:3250% shooting from three-point range on 90 attempts.
11:36And I called the game with you, and they were on the road, I think, in 2024.
11:40And I believe that was her career high, 38 points.
11:43Yes.
11:43It's still her career high.
11:46Katie Liu, the rebound.
11:50And Heideman is fouled by Courtney Williams.
11:53Talk about gravity.
11:54Heideman and Courtney Williams, a lot of gravity.
11:57It's like a moon orbiting a planet.
11:59I mean, they are sticking to each other within inches wherever they go on the floor, these two friends.
12:06And with more on the two of them, here's Chantel.
12:08I had a chance to talk to Natisha Heideman, and she talked to me about her best friend and Stubbuck
12:14co-host, Courtney Williams.
12:15She said, listen, we do talk a little bit of trash on the court.
12:19We did talk earlier this morning saying good luck, but we pretty much talk every day.
12:23T said they call each other after every game.
12:26And as for the Stubbuck stream, they dropped their All-Star Weekend trailer.
12:30They'll be back to their 72-hour stream during All-Star Weekend.
12:33And T said they have a lot of plans.
12:35She just can't say just yet what they're going to do.
12:37But it's going to be a party every single night, and there will be a lot of special moments and
12:42things to look forward to.
12:44T also mentioned that she's also really excited just to be there to support Dom as well.
12:48But to quote T, it's going to be lit.
12:51Super lit, guys.
12:52It will be.
12:53The Stubbuds will be lit.
12:54No question about it.
12:55We just saw the first bucket of Nafisa Collier's 2026 season on the other end.
13:02And Heideman goes to the free throw line here.
13:04As pretty as it gets, the release, she's versatile in terms of scoring.
13:09She can do it from anywhere.
13:10But we've also just seen Nafisa Heideman draw the second straight foul on Courtney Williams, the two Stubbuds.
13:17So two fouls apiece on Williams and Miles.
13:20Not something Minnesota had to deal with on Monday night.
13:22We've got four lead changes, three ties already in this game.
13:28And Zolva in the game for the first time.
13:30Two minutes to this.
13:34Malanga over the top, tips it away, out of bounds.
13:38So mostly reserves in the game now for both teams.
13:43Steph Dolson in for Seattle along with Cook and Samuelson.
13:48Collier and McBride, the two starters left in for Minnesota right now.
13:55Workout, Juhasz thinks about the three.
13:59Now Collier, the pull-up from 18.
14:01That one's off.
14:02Rebound, Katie Lou.
14:04And Cheryl Reed said, hopefully Fee isn't listening to this, but she will be on a minutes restriction.
14:09We knew that from the start because she's so competitive.
14:11It's going to take a little while until we see the Nafisa Collier of last year and of late.
14:16Tom working on Collier.
14:19Tied up.
14:20That looked pretty clean.
14:20I mean, I think the ref got that right.
14:23Yeah.
14:24On the drive, I think she got a little off balance because there might have been a little body,
14:27but that was a lot of ball.
14:31Tyler Merkiewicz making that call down on the baseline.
14:34You see this.
14:35There's a lot of basketball right there.
14:37There's a lot of contact, though, from Nafisa on that drive that Dom has had to deal with lately.
14:41I mean, the Indiana Fever game, two free throws for Dom when she takes 22 shots,
14:45and most of them are inside.
14:46It's not enough.
14:48Oh, McBride doesn't even go for the tip.
14:50And Dom tips it right to Minnesota.
14:55Juhasz sets her feet.
14:56Flings back iron.
14:58Good box out by Heidemann, but Caldwell goes over the top of the board.
15:03Collier three.
15:04No.
15:05Oh, Heidemann got out-hustled for that one as Caldwell gets the rebound.
15:08Don't see that very often.
15:11Third opportunity.
15:12Collier.
15:13Can't make him pay.
15:14Rebound Malanga.
15:15Seattle dodged a bullet on that possession.
15:18Yeah, Heidemann was kind of side-boxing out.
15:20Didn't have her full squared up, pushing away, and Caldwell got right around her.
15:28Oh, Heidemann got out-hustled for that one, but Dom got caught underneath the basket.
15:34And Zovac going right at Steph.
15:37No.
15:37Back and forth we go.
15:39Well, in the 20-18 game, Katie Rue, there's Dom inside.
15:44And finishes.
15:49And finishes.
15:51A few bumps on the rim there, but you'd love to see how deep she is getting.
15:57Every single possession, it seems.
15:58Even though she was under the basket right before that, this is the difference from game
16:02one to game two on Monday.
16:03She's getting inside looks in the restricted area.
16:06Jumper's not going down for Minnesota.
16:10Here's Katie Lue.
16:12Links at 30% from the field.
16:16There's a little bit of settling for those mid-range shots.
16:19Two seconds left.
16:20Thiem tries to beat the buzzer and can't do it.
16:23But the Seattle Storm, as they customarily do against Minnesota, lead after one.
16:29That's kind of the story for Minnesota.
16:31I love that.
16:32I love all of them.
16:33They're really the sixth kid, like the 12th man.
16:36The Thunder Stick comment you made earlier, I've got a love and hate relationship with
16:39those.
16:39Yeah.
16:40What I grew up on coming to Storm Games, but man, that's a headache.
16:44It certainly is.
16:46I decided to, well, when my wife, my wife was the one always bringing the kids here, because
16:50I was a little busy during the game, so I'm never bringing the kids here to the game.
16:55But she said, yeah, when they were about six and four, she said, I'm done with the Thunder
16:59sticks, because they just become weapons to hit each other the entire game.
17:05The ride home.
17:06The ride home.
17:06By, no, by halftime, they were gone.
17:09She was like, they were gone by halftime.
17:1122 to 18.
17:12We'll take a quick timeout.
17:13Got a reveal in process.
17:15And by Providence, Swedish, the official health care partner of the Seattle Storm.
17:20Together, we can.
17:24Climbing plays.
17:25We're in a great place on a 90-plus degree day in Seattle to enjoy some WNBA basketball.
17:30It will be Seattle ball as Sonja Raman challenged that last call of Minnesota basketball because
17:37it was last touched by Kayla McBride's foot.
17:39So, an overturn in favor of Seattle.
17:43Sonja Raman now 8-8 in challenges in her first season.
17:48That one's tipped out of bounds.
17:50Saved.
17:50Actually, saved before it goes out of bounds by Steph Dawson.
17:53And a great step-through move by Dom Malaga.
17:55Good hustle by Steph to save that one and get the two points.
17:58Storm dominating Minnesota in the paint right now, even though they just got those 14-8.
18:05And Minnesota shooting terrible from two, four of 16, five of 16.
18:10Storm are doing a good job of making them take tough twos outside of that last bucket.
18:13Minnesota just three and five when they get outshot this year.
18:18But, Monday night, they got outshot and stole one again.
18:22So, just another one of those weird Seattle stats this year that don't include W's.
18:27I've got a couple more for you.
18:29Here's Howard with it.
18:31Kick back to McBride.
18:32Long is in double figures with 11.
18:36Heal of the iron.
18:37Good seal by Katie Liu, who's given the Storm some really good minutes over the last few games.
18:42Has yet to hit a three today.
18:43But, she has got a streak going and a traveling violation.
18:48So, Seattle is the first team in WNBA history to have five players score 15 or more in a game
18:54and lose.
18:55We saw that a couple of games ago.
18:57They're the first team in WNBA history to lose back-to-back games scoring over 100 in regulation in both
19:02of the games.
19:03They had 107 on Friday, 102 on Monday.
19:06So, the wins are going to come because all those stats are really good positive stats.
19:11You would rather have those than lose 85 to 52.
19:16It's the stops.
19:18I mean, they were two defensive stops away.
19:20Maybe one tough turnover or Dom, you know, on the near over and back.
19:26She thought it was touched and it wasn't.
19:27It's just those tiny little details.
19:30McBride flings it up.
19:31And it doesn't matter if she's set or not.
19:35It doesn't matter if her feet's set.
19:36It doesn't matter whether she takes time to fling it up.
19:39It's unbelievable.
19:41The defense is suffocating.
19:42And I think they're doing a much better job than they were on Monday.
19:45She's still hitting.
19:46Dolson tries to answer.
19:48No good.
19:49Snatched down by Coffey.
19:50Good rebound there.
19:54Here's Miles with it.
19:56Tried to get by Jay.
19:57A little bump there.
19:58And Miles goes down.
19:59Jordan Horsten and Alifam going to check in now for Seattle in the three-point storm advantage.
20:08How about Jordan's game Monday night?
20:11So active.
20:12I mean, the cans got multiple steals, some O-boards, hit some clutch shots.
20:19Nine points, four rebounds, two steals.
20:22Alifam's game wasn't bad either, especially on the glass.
20:24Career high 11 boards, six offensive.
20:27I think there were just a few, you know, Natisha Hyden wasn't very aggressive in that game as you get
20:32the scoop shot there from Olivia Miles.
20:34And Dom Malanga didn't have a very effective night until late when Natasha Howard was off the court.
20:39So I love to see that Dom has been so efficient.
20:41Five of eight for 11 points in the first half.
20:43She only took two shots in the first half on Monday.
20:46Jay puts it up soft as we saw the layup by Olivia Miles.
20:49Frances and I brought up a great point on Monday night about Miles has the ability.
20:53If she just puts it up onto the rim, it is going to go in.
20:57It's amazing the touch she has, because a lot of times she goes and she hits that one.
21:01A lot of times she goes in really hard, and it looks like the shot's going to be hard.
21:05And somehow the shot is so soft.
21:08As Jade will go to the free throw line unless they get it on the drive, we will see here.
21:15She's got big hands for a guard, too, and I think that could be part of it.
21:19You occupy so much of the ball, and it allows you to have more control to your point.
21:24She loves the keep it on the right hand, keep it on the right hand,
21:27go up for the shot without collecting with that left hand, and I think that helps soften it.
21:34It will be a side out.
21:36Three fouls on Courtney Williams.
21:38So the foul trouble continues for the guards.
21:40There's Sia, can't get it to go.
21:44Miles, checks behind her for Sia, now brings it up.
21:52Screened by Howard, oh, the no-look pass.
21:55Howard gets a piece of that one.
21:57Storm basketball leading by one.
22:01Sia accelerates in the lane.
22:03She's playing with so much confidence, as are a lot of these bench players right now.
22:07There was a four or five-game stretch where the bench just was not doing a lot,
22:10and the last three or four games has been really solid.
22:13McBride too strong, puts it up, and in, and Kayla McBride with 16.
22:18It looks like she is going to set that record alongside Asian Wilson and Diana Taurasi
22:24with eight straight games of 23 points or more.
22:27She just continues her torrid pace here in July.
22:34Oh, great post-up.
22:36And a hook shot.
22:38Oh, my.
22:38Is she really 20?
22:40Is that right?
22:41That was pretty.
22:42That looked like an eight-year vet right there on that move.
22:45They continue to get deep in Minnesota's defense.
22:48This is just what we did not see on Monday.
22:51Check out how deep Da'awa posts up down low, nearly in the restricted area, on Natasha Howard.
22:57It's a duck-in.
22:58You surprised the defense by standing up straight up like you're not going to do anything,
23:02and then she surprised her, posted her up hard, and got the nice jump hook to go.
23:07Oh, I love this Minnesota team, but if there is an Achilles heel, it's that.
23:12How do they defend Asia Wilson in the playoffs?
23:15How do they defend Brianna Stewart in the playoffs?
23:18How do they defend the bigs?
23:20Because Seattle's kind of had their way inside on plays like that.
23:25Yeah, I think they did a good job limiting them on Monday, but they're so undersized.
23:31Dorka Juhal's tallest player is 6'5".
23:336'2 is the next tallest.
23:34Collier, the fade, can't get it to go.
23:37And Nafisa struggling from the field in her first game back, 1 of 7.
23:46Horston, the bomb.
23:51Good defense there by Miles, coming over underneath that screen.
23:56Item in three, no.
23:57There's Jordan Horston.
23:59No, look, pass inside.
24:00Flageau beautifully done.
24:02Get the assist from Olivia Miles, who tipped it right to Jordan Horston.
24:10Miles goes in on Faham and scores.
24:12There it is that again.
24:13Goes in strong and somehow has the touch to finish.
24:15Well, she holds off the defender with a left side of her body.
24:19Caldwell can't get it to go, but picking up the garbage, she's Nafisa Collier.
24:23Sloppy play by Seattle in the forecourt.
24:27It's also crazy core strength that Olivia Miles has to be in the air, holding off 6'4", all of
24:33Faham.
24:36Longer's been quiet offensively thus far.
24:43Is it off Faham?
24:44Now, Zia Cook.
24:46Crossover dribble in the lane and scores.
24:49Boy, is she earning some minutes.
24:50I'll tell you what.
24:52A crossover.
24:53I mean, she just put the defense on skates.
24:58Miles against Johnson.
25:02Collier.
25:03Good D by Jordan, but then the step through.
25:05So adept at going one way and then stepping through the other way.
25:09If you lean a little bit one way, you're in trouble.
25:13She's just so good at putting the defender in a cage down low.
25:16Jordan did a great job of switching out with Zia right before that, though.
25:23Johnson, spin.
25:24Extra pass.
25:26Cook.
25:26Can she stay hot?
25:27No good.
25:29Offensive rebound, foul.
25:31Blasje, stripe it.
25:33Blasje Johnson has been so good from three-point range.
25:38Career high five threes on Monday.
25:43Ooh, and the touch pass inside to a cutting Mia Coppy.
25:55They're going to review that last call, whether it was a two or a three from Flasje Johnson.
26:03Here's Miles with it.
26:05Coppy driving baseline.
26:07Good hands.
26:08Alapham from behind.
26:10Flasje gets ripped.
26:11Wow.
26:12How about Olivia Miles?
26:13Rookie on rookie crime, and Miles finishes.
26:15Wow.
26:16And that's Flasje not meeting the pass.
26:18She's already on her way, thinking she was wide open.
26:21Matisha kind of has to beat her eyes there, but Olivia came out of nowhere and just grabbed it from
26:25her.
26:26Got to meet the pass.
26:27First lead since it was 8-7 for the Lynx.
26:30But Fahm says not for long.
26:3341-39.
26:35The rook strikes from three.
26:37And both Fahm and Malanga are so impactful in this first half, where you just didn't see it as much
26:44in game one, because they were the focus of Minnesota's defense.
26:47Oh, the backdoor cut.
26:49Nafisa Collier, so savvy.
26:51How many backdoor cuts have we seen from the Storm defense already?
26:55The other play for Nia Coffey, it was Jordan Horstin getting caught.
27:01So, yeah, a balance scoring.
27:0211 from Malanga, 9 from Heideman.
27:05They nearly throw it away.
27:068 from Fahm, 7 from Johnson.
27:09Here's Cook, she tries to continue.
27:11That one's no good.
27:13Tipped around.
27:14Keep it here.
27:15139 left in the half.
27:18Quickly moving first half of play.
27:2141-41, our score, Flaugé gets ripped.
27:26Cookies from Olivia.
27:28But be sure to watch Dom's All-Star debut, Saturday at 5.30 on ABC and Disney+.
27:35Going to give that a go on Saturday night.
27:39Ratings for that game.
27:42That would be pretty darn high.
27:44Here's Heideman baseline jump shot.
27:46That one's no good.
27:47Heal of the iron, rebounded by McBride.
27:51Minnesota heating up in the second quarter, 58%.
27:54They shot just 30 in the first, but Seattle's hotter as well.
27:58Seattle's at 54%, up from the 42 in the first quarter.
28:06Collier against Malanga.
28:08The D by Dom.
28:10Stonewall.
28:10Wow, what a possession by Tom Malanga.
28:14Up top, can she finish?
28:16Yes, she can.
28:18Oh, what an All-Star sequence for the All-Star.
28:23Just talking about her jersey, showing off the two-way play.
28:28That was one of the best stops I've seen all year, one-on-one.
28:33On a top five player in the WNBA.
28:37Here's Miles with it.
28:39Behind the back.
28:40All over her.
28:42Got to get it up.
28:43How about that defensive stop?
28:44Let's get a bucket on the other end.
28:46Ola Fab says, yes, we can.
28:49Dom Malanga.
28:50Ola Fab just locked up.
28:53Nafisa Collier and Olivia Miles.
28:55Unbelievable.
28:56Back-to-back possessions, and then a great assist from the other rookie, Flaje Johnson.
29:01Three ball.
29:02Collier says, enough of that.
29:03Enough of that.
29:05The answer.
29:07What a game.
29:0920 seconds left in the first half.
29:11I love that footwork from Dom, though.
29:13On that one possession when she blocks Nafisa Collier.
29:16The footwork was so quick for being 6-6.
29:19Final shot for Seattle.
29:21Flaje.
29:22Bump by Miles.
29:23Crossover dribble.
29:24Trying to get into the lane.
29:25And does.
29:26And can't get it to go.
29:27One second left.
29:28Heideman's got time.
29:30And it runs out on her.
29:33That is the end of a very entertaining first half of play.
29:39Wow, we have seen three halves of basketball in the last 36 hours between these two teams.
29:43My goodness, about 150 points per team in the last three halves.
29:50It's 45-40%.
29:53Almost four games that they have shot 50% from the field.
29:56This was a team shooting in the low 40s, high 30s in the early stretch of the season.
30:01What are you seeing that is providing the efficiency that we didn't get in May and June?
30:06A big chunk of it is truly turning their defense to offense.
30:09So they're getting easier looks at the rim.
30:11And they're not, like we said early in the season, putting the brakes on after they get a stop.
30:16And just running a set offense.
30:17They're just going.
30:18And we see Awa finishing at the rim.
30:20Dom just punching the gas at times and accelerating and finishing with easier looks.
30:25And like Coach Jarrell said, they get the ball inside and out more often.
30:29Three ball by Courtney Williams.
30:31That ricochets off everybody.
30:33Back to Williams.
30:34She re-racks no good.
30:35Rebound by Fahm.
30:41See, I only had three sub-40% shooting games in the last 21.
30:46They had six in their first seven games of the season.
30:51That's incredible.
30:52Getting to know each other better, too.
30:54You're not turning the ball over quite as much.
30:56Thinking that a player is going to be there when they're actually back cutting.
31:00Just better chemistry.
31:02Myles working on Flauze.
31:05Howard now.
31:07Williams gets by her former teammate.
31:09Three ball in the corner.
31:10Up and in.
31:12Knock it down.
31:13Nafisa Collier from three.
31:16That's her first triple of the season.
31:18Courtney Williams only played nine minutes in the first half because of foul trouble.
31:22You see her impact right away without assist.
31:25Check that.
31:25She had one three in the first half.
31:27She's now two of four from behind the arc.
31:31Jane gets to the ten and scores.
31:35Gather, collect, finger roll.
31:40Ooh, Myles crossover dribble.
31:41Loses Flauze.
31:42Johnson gets back on her.
31:44He thinks about it.
31:45Now triggers it again.
31:47Back iron.
31:49Palm with the carom.
31:53Time ball game at 47.
31:58Johnson loses handle of it.
32:00McBride picks it up.
32:03There's Myles on the push.
32:04Into the corner.
32:05Williams.
32:06He's been saddled with foul trouble so far today.
32:10Bounce pass Howard.
32:14Fakes.
32:15And gets it to go off the front iron.
32:26Long the top side.
32:27Now Flauze.
32:29Long the rolls.
32:31Flauze a little late on the pass.
32:33So a couple consecutive turnovers by Johnson.
32:35Myles tries to attack Heidemann.
32:37Can't do it.
32:37Good D by Matisha.
32:39Jade stays in there to try to get it.
32:41But it's deflected into the hands of Olivia Miles.
32:44Who kisses it off the window.
32:46Minnesota pulling away with points off turnovers.
32:48And second chance points already early.
32:50You see how physical and handsy Caleb McBride has been with Flauze Johnson.
32:55Anytime she's coming off a handoff or a screen.
32:57Jade step back triple.
32:59That one's off the mark.
33:01For some poor offensive possessions here for Seattle in the first three minutes.
33:06Oh early post up Collier up top over Flauze Johnson and Warren and Collier in 14 minutes has 16 points.
33:18And this is the matchup Minnesota would want inside because Collier only six foot one.
33:23But she plays like one through five so comfortably.

33:39Good fame.
33:40Alyssa Charles Smith, Nick Beckman, Greg Yamoto here at courtside.
33:44Scott Malone in his final storm broadcast of the year.
33:47We're going to miss Scott as he moves on to get ready for the Seattle Kraken season.
33:52And the 350 games that they have over the course of six months.
33:57Good luck with that Scott.
33:58Constant.
33:59We are so lucky to have had him.
34:01Absolutely.
34:01Scott you're the best in the biz.
34:05But I did like the fact that the storm got the ball inside on that last possession.
34:09I was hoping they'd go right to Dahmer, right to Awa with a close look inside.
34:13But it didn't turn out the way they wanted.
34:20The storm with just two points.
34:22In the first three minutes of change here.
34:27Oh, Dom steps into that one.
34:29Picks it off.
34:29One on one the other way.
34:31Goes up at Howard.
34:32Does a nice job.
34:33Kind of slowing down.
34:34Collecting herself and scoring.
34:37Future, I just want to see her double clutch dunk.
34:39Yeah, pretty soon.
34:41We won't be waiting much longer.
34:43She's going to have to get a couple down without traffic before she starts to try to put one on
34:47somebody's head.
34:48That's for sure.
34:49I just saw the future.
34:51Yeah, that's right.
34:51What a beautiful finish, especially turning defense to offense once again.
34:55I mean, we've seen two possessions already this game.
35:03Jade, screened by Awa.
35:05Keeps the dribble.
35:06Kits the corner.
35:07Dangerous pass.
35:09That's been a benefit and a detriment to Jade's game because a lot of times you see Dom here.
35:16You're right.
35:17Pretty soon, that's just me the one-two and rattle the rim.
35:20But Jade likes to throw the cross-court pass.
35:24And sometimes it reaches its intended.
