00:19that highlight the value of strong teamwork you gotta love it oh no doubt yeah they're two of the
00:24best passing teams in the league the chemistry on both sides is pretty obvious and they're also
00:29two of the smartest teams we're not going to see a lot of wasted possessions or careless turnovers
00:34here tonight
00:55go
00:59and so off the tip it's atlanta
01:03here's jones good and jordan canada gets the assist these inside looks are what jones is all about
01:10and she knows how to outwork the defense
01:15pass the hole
01:21here's turner guarded by jones and it's turner missing
01:27the dream on offense
01:29outside howard
01:34count it good with good size for the guard
01:38position and ryan howard is able to use that size to stretch the floor
01:42well jordan canada does the things you want from a point guard there's no doubt about it
01:47defensively she disrupts leading the league in skills on multiple occasions and then offensively
01:53she distributes averaging about five times per game over her career one of the best rates
01:59in league history drills the three-pointer constantly in a position to score
02:04great love to shoot it off of a crisp pass
02:08lexi hole on the wing
02:11that's the burrell
02:15it's good and she makes her first shot of the game
02:18good ball movement
02:20she put that pass in the ideal spot and i can guarantee you
02:24her teammate appreciated it
02:26her teammate appreciated it
02:281-2-4
02:47started by canada
02:50here's turner
02:54brianna jones with some nice d
03:01and around two minutes played here in the first quarter
03:04and the basket by howard
03:05they're shooting 80 percent so far
03:08obviously it's early but offensively they're looking great
03:16misses off the right iron
03:18she had all the space she needed but just could not find
03:22the bottom of the bucket
03:23had a nice open look right there
03:26and their offense already flowing some stellar shooting to jump out to this lead
03:30they're getting great looks and they're capitalizing
03:33you know they have to be pleased with this start offensively
03:45good luck for Ryan Howard
03:47Turner grabs the board
03:49well sometimes they're going to miss even the easiest of chances
03:54best net
03:57and they're going to miss the new earned
04:06come up and he's fired up there
04:09and he's got it to the bottom of the bucket list of the net
04:24turnover. That's just a straightforward pass
04:26gone wrong. The Dream making
04:28a switch here.
04:30Barry McDonnell.
04:36First quarter of action
04:38and just under three and a half minutes
04:40played. Last year, the Dream
04:42made the playoffs for the second straight season.
04:44Yeah, remember they missed
04:46four straight postseasons before that
04:48so Atlanta, I would say, is
04:50headed in the right direction. The addition
04:52of Ryan Howard was a huge reason
04:54why.
04:58Here's Burrell. Guarded by Howard.
05:01Shot's good by Burrell.
05:02Fantastic pass.
05:04She made that a very easy bucket
05:06with the setup.
05:09Pass to Reese.
05:11And here's Howard.
05:13Here's Jones.
05:15That three off the mark.
05:20Now hold.
05:25Out to the wing.
05:29Now Burrell.
05:32Right wing.
05:33Four on the clock.
05:3518 feet out.
05:37It's hauled in by Reese.
05:39That's too good a look to pass up there
05:41despite the result.
05:42Three. Ryan Howard.
05:44The shot will not fall.
05:46Well, with a clear look at the basket,
05:48she doesn't really miss a lot of those.
05:50Pass to Turner.
05:55Now here's Hull.
06:01And unable there to get the go-ahead bucket.
06:04That's a look.
06:05You can't pass up.
06:06It's also one you shouldn't miss.
06:09Here's Gray.
06:11On the wing, Ryan Howard.
06:14Sinks the triple.
06:16I mean, that's just too easy for Howard.
06:18Is the defense going to rush her off the three-point line?
06:21Or is she going to make these all night long?
06:24Here's Burrell.
06:25To the paint.
06:33Guarded by McDonald.
06:37Cream with the rebound.
06:39You know, typically she has the touch to finish
06:41when she's in that tight.
06:43Not sure what happened there.
06:44There's a four-second difference from the shot clock in game clock.
06:48Gray controls the rebound and puts it back up and in.
06:51Great job of crashing the offensive glass.
06:55Now she's staying with it for some hard-nosed, tough basketball.
07:01Turner.
07:02Guarded by Jones.
07:03That one goes.
07:05Count it.
07:06That's how to orchestrate for your teammate.
07:08Terrific pass.
07:13And we've reached the end of the first quarter.
07:16It's the dream.
07:17They're up by four.
07:18And we'll get things started in the second quarter when we return.
07:45All right.
07:46The second quarter beginning in just a moment.
07:48And looking at what we've seen from the dream, what do you guys think?
07:52Really hard work being put in from the glass by them from the get-go.
07:57Yeah, everyone's done a great job boxing out for them here.
08:00And it's showing up on the stat sheet.
08:10Now here's Harrison.
08:14Here's Vandersloot.
08:16And she converts the layup.
08:18Wow.
08:19I mean, come on.
08:19That's ten straight points in the paint.
08:21The defense, it's just nowhere to be found.
08:24They have to start committing more bodies down low.
08:27Now here's Vivian's.
08:32From outside the arc.
08:35It's hauled in by Harrison.
08:39Pass to Juhas.
08:43Johannes.
08:44It's good from long range.
08:47Nice feed that time from Juhas.
08:52The dream trail.
08:56And here's Peely.
08:59Now here's Vivian's.
09:01They get it back.
09:03Great positioning on the putbacks.
09:05Those second chance points, they're just like bonus points if you can get them.
09:12Pass to Juhas.
09:13Here's Harrison.
09:15It's good.
09:16And she makes her first shot of the game.
09:18Pretty much all of their buckets coming from inside the paint now.
09:22I mean, there's more holes in their defense than in a block of Swiss cheese.
09:27Man, you just made me hungry.
09:28But that's right.
09:29Five of their last six makes were in tight.
09:32They've established themselves inside.
09:34Where's the cheese?
09:36Now here's Juhas.
09:37Wyatt so far offensively searching for first points of the game.
09:43And that comes off the assist by Courtney Vandersloot.
09:47They need to get way more disruptive defensively.
09:50They just can't keep allowing these easy buckets.
09:52You know, get a little physical.
09:53Show some effort.
09:55Defensively, that's job number one.
09:58Effort.
09:59Nothing easy inside.
10:01Now here's Jones.
10:03She's got six.
10:04Well, you've got to like her shot selection today.
10:07She's set the bar for the rest of the team.
10:11Pass to Juhas.
10:13Here's Johannes.
10:15It's stolen by Vivians.
10:19Here's McDonald.
10:21And it's Courtney Vandersloot with the rebound.
10:27Bell, guarded by McDonald.
10:30And here's Harrison.
10:35Now Johannes to the inside.
10:38Juhas.
10:39That's good.
10:40All the contenders trying to turn it on here at the end of the year.
10:43How important is momentum heading into the postseason?
10:46It depends on the makeup of your team.
10:49If you've got a bunch of older stars,
10:51maybe you're prioritizing health at this point of the year.
10:54We'd also like to avoid peaking too early.
10:56But that's pretty hard to gauge and hard to control.
11:00Good team.
11:10So, it's both teams making substitutions here.
11:24Guarded by McDonald.
11:26Here's Turner.
11:28Dream with the rebound.
11:33And just under three and a half minutes played here in the second quarter.
11:37Pass to Howard.
11:41The second chance effort.
11:44Out to Gray.
11:45For three.
11:47Turner grabs the board.
11:48Look, if they know what's good for them,
11:51that's the way they'll defend against her
11:53every time she takes the ball into three-point land.
11:56Well, you're right again, Brian.
11:58Anything less than lockdown defense on her,
12:00it's going to result in three points.
12:02You can count on that.
12:03Six to shoot.
12:05Out of bounds.
12:05It'll go to the Dream.
12:07The ball goes to Atlanta.
12:10And the Dream making a change here.
12:24Atlanta leading.
12:30Two minutes remaining in the first half.
12:32Gray up top.
12:35From 18 feet away.
12:37Here's Reese.
12:38And a good offensive board.
12:40And she gets the bucket.
12:42And her hard work on the boards gave them another crack at the points there.
12:52Pass to Turner.
12:57And she lays it straight in.
13:00Backed by her solid footwork,
13:02Turner knows a thing or two about scoring inside.
13:09Outside Canada.
13:11Over hole.
13:12A shot by Canada.
13:14No good.
13:17Pass to hole.
13:22Gray defending.
13:26Now Turner.
13:27From the baseline.
13:29Canada grabs the board.
13:31Well, I'm going to say the defense got pretty lucky right there
13:34because she's going to make a lot more of those than she misses
13:37when she gets that much win.
13:44Turner.
13:45Turner.
13:45Started by Canada.
13:46Good.
13:47Score of the basket.
13:48Marker four for eight shooting.
13:5050% so far.
13:52One aspect of their play today that's been far superior is their passing.
13:57And that kind of flow, it can be elusive.
14:00But the great offense is having.
14:02And that's just what they've shown tonight.
14:05Offensive rebound.
14:07Threes gets the bucket.
14:08The lead changes hands once more.
14:12There have been no separation between these teams tonight.
14:16Yeah, and it's made for one heck of an entertaining game,
14:18even when it hasn't been the best basketball.
14:20Yeah, at least it's been close.
14:23Hull.
14:24Gray defending.
14:26Hull with the bucket.
14:34Here's Howard.
14:35This one for three.
14:38And so it's a close game as we wrap up the first half of play.
14:42Up one.
14:43And we'll be back for the second half following the break.
14:46Keep it right here on 2K Sports.
15:57Getting it to her is the only hard part because once she's got the rock, she's automatic.
16:18The left wing passed a hole.
16:24Guarded by Canada.
16:27And it's Atlanta with the rebound.
16:34Now it's Reese.
16:36Picked by Reese.
16:38From deep, Alicia Gray.
16:40Goes back up.
16:43Nice fake, but the layup off the mark.
16:49Pass to Burrell.
16:54Down low.
16:55And stolen by Gray.
16:57And here we go.
16:58The dream on the fast break.
17:00And she gets it to go.
17:02Assistant, Jordan Canada.
17:08Here in this third quarter, just over a minute played.
17:11Here's Burrell.
17:17Here in this third quarter, there in this third quarter, there in this third quarter.
17:18Over to the wing.
17:22Over Howard.
17:24Burrell, no good.
17:25Would have been lucky to knock that shot down.
17:27Coach has a look like, are you kidding me?
17:32Here's Canada.
17:33Laid in with a nice touch off the glass.
17:35That's an agile move by Canada with the ball.
17:39Completely throwing off the defense.
17:47And your breakers is through.
17:50Yeah!
18:04Just a little over 90 seconds gone in the third quarter.
18:13Burrell, guarded by Howard.
18:20Canada grabs the board.
18:22Boy, coming out of halftime slow.
18:240 for 3.
18:30Doesn't go for her.
18:33Man, these guys have had some good motion on offense.
18:36Nice assists.
18:37When everybody's involved offensively, it's in a way helping you defensively too.
18:43A donut.
18:44A zero.
18:45So far, we've struck the second half.
18:47Four straight misses.
18:48She didn't get her hands up in time.
18:49They weren't on the same page there.
19:02A little under two and a half minutes gone by in the third quarter.
19:06Paul Gray defending.
19:11Here's Turner.
19:15Off-line with a three.
19:17She's just had a brutal outing.
19:20And she still hasn't managed to get a field goal.
19:23And the team is struggling because of it.
19:26Now, here's Howard.
19:28Seven points in the game.
19:29What a find by Jones.
19:31Some high IQ basketball.
19:34And few WNBA players have garnered more attention than Angel Reese.
19:39Well, she's just so charismatic.
19:42And Reese says what she thinks.
19:44Fans love that.
19:45And on the floor, he's a double-double machine.
19:49And it's Gray missing.
19:51It's been that kind of a game for her.
19:53But look, the team is still winning.
19:55So keep your head up and just try to move on and be better from this.
20:00Good work in the transition game.
20:02That's why when it's there, it's always a good idea to attack early before the defense even has the chance
20:07to set up.
20:08Absolutely.
20:09So much easier to score in transition.
20:11First question shot.
20:13First two back.
20:15At the line for the green.
20:17Alicia Gray.
20:19Two shots.
20:28The first free throw is good.
20:42Second free throw, no good.
20:45There's the three.
20:47Johannes with the rebound.
20:49Those have been some terrible shots for his play, Jeff.
20:52That was not good at all.
20:57That one falls.
20:58Good job, the great easy bucket.
21:02Atlanta leading.
21:07Outside McDonald.
21:11Outside Howard.
21:17Second shot opportunity.
21:20With the jumping ability, Rihanna Turner can get up there to send shots away.
21:26And we have to take another look at that block.
21:30Close games can boil down to who makes plays on defense.
21:33And that is one heck of a rejection right there.
21:36And the dream making a change here.
21:51Here's Endor Fall.
21:53Five to shoot.
21:54Vivians.
21:56Here's Gray.
21:59Rebound by Juhas.
22:00Yeah, her touch has deserted her this quarter.
22:04Nowhere to be found.
22:06And stolen by Gray.
22:09And here we go.
22:10The dream on the fast break.
22:12Hillman.
22:13That's good.
22:14Quick hands and the steal.
22:15Quick feet on the break.
22:16And that's a silly error there.
22:18Coughing the ball up.
22:19And then not being quick enough to get back on defense.
22:22It's just giving him three points.
22:27Vivians with the ball.
22:28She's been patient so far.
22:30Nothing yet on the scoreboard.
22:32I love the ball movement from Vivians.
22:34Knowing exactly when to pass it up.
22:40Guarded by McDonald.
22:43And the shot is good.
22:44And that's what they're hanging their hat on today, fellas.
22:47Hard nose play on the low block.
22:50I love that.
22:50Me too.
22:51It's old-fashioned.
22:52Reminds me of when we played.
22:54Old-fashioned town-the-rock basketball.
22:56And it's working well.
22:58Now here's Vivians.
23:02Outside McDonald.
23:06Hole with the rebound.
23:08I guess even she misses those easy opportunities once in a while.
23:13Bangs home the trifecta.
23:15She might not have the long-range ability of some other players in this league.
23:19But she'll knock down open ones like that.
23:22She gets that one.
23:23Quality look from Gray.
23:25I mean, she's going to shoot it from there when she gets the chance every time.
23:31Now here's Hole.
23:33Defense is right there.
23:35The 18-footer is right on the mark.
23:41There are three Victoria Bibians.
23:43Good on the triple.
23:45Tex foot.
23:46Nice pass.
23:47Nice catch.
23:48Nice job.
23:49And we've watched three so far in this one.
23:53It's the dream.
23:54Up five.
23:55We'll be right back to the action when we return.
24:17Okay, fourth quarter of action getting underway.
24:20We've had a great one with both sides coming to play so far.
24:32And here's McDonald.
24:37Outside Bibians.
24:39Here's Jones.
24:41No good on the triple.
24:45Pass to you, Haas.
24:50To the middle.
24:52And she drops in the layup.
24:54Off glass.
24:55And you Haas is such a tough cover in the front court.
24:58With her size and skill, she really makes the defense work.
25:03Now here's Bibians.
25:05Here's Jones.
25:06They grab their own miss.
25:08Hillman.
25:10Endor fall.
25:11And she uses the glass on the layup.
25:13Yeah, late reaction for the defense.
25:15She's always going to convert that.
25:1860 ticks off the clock here in the fourth.
25:22Pass to Johannes.
25:24Goes up and lays it in nice and easy.
25:28Intelligent passing to make that basket possible.
25:34Outside McDonald.
25:35And here's Bibians.
25:38Here's Jones.
25:40The three-pointer off the mark.
25:44Oh, here's Yuhaas.
25:46From the wing.
25:47And she wills that one in.
25:50Sinking right through off the back iron.
25:52Just really good awareness right there on the assist.
25:55Atlanta calls timeout.
26:06Atlanta calls timeout.
26:15First minute and a half of basketball played here in the fourth quarter.
26:19Pass to Jones.
26:20Now Gray.
26:24Can't hit the free throw line jumper.
26:26Well, they're winning despite her errant shooting.
26:29Now Johannes.
26:31To take the lead.
26:32Connects from three-point range.
26:35And so here's Atlanta.
26:37Trailing by two.
26:39Down low.
26:40Here's Hillman.
26:43Outside Bibians.
26:46Gray.
26:48Hands it from downtown.
26:50Her first three of the half.
26:51Second of the game.
26:52Can she heat up?
26:53Here's Johannes.
27:01Buries it down low.
27:02I know it's fun to sit back and enjoy watching her operate.
27:06And guess what?
27:07That's what the D was doing, too.
27:09Just sitting back and watching.
27:10Have to be more active.
27:12Bibians misses.
27:14A little over two and a half minutes that pass by now here in the fourth quarter.
27:1912 times pass and goes straight to the bucket for the layup.
27:23The ball movement on this run has been fantastic.
27:26And it's a big part of why they've been able to get good looks.
27:30Absolutely.
27:31The defense unable to react quickly enough to deal with their passes.
27:35Now here's Gray.
27:40Pass to Hillman.
27:43Back to Gray.
27:45And she banks in the layup.
27:47Shooting as well as she has from the floor in a game this tight.
27:51You just have to think that she's going to be a factor until the very end.
27:59And use the defense.
28:01Go, you, get your.
28:04Go, you, get your.
28:07Go, you, get your.
28:08Go, you, get your.
28:11Go, you, get your.
28:17And they're holding on to the slimmest of leads.
28:20And they can't afford to let it get any slimmer.
28:24Pass to hole.
28:30Releases.
28:32And it's Ryan Howard with the rebound.
28:34Boy.
28:35I mean, that shot had no chance of going in.
28:39Yeah, there were a lot of other places she could have gone with the basketball instead of forcing that shot
28:46up.
28:46And down it goes.
28:48And down it goes.
28:48Two points.
28:49Big time hoop.
28:50Lexi Hull more than ready for prime time.
28:54Atlanta with the ball.
28:55It's a three-point game.
28:57It's Brianna Jones.
28:58High post.
28:59To the paint.
29:00Reese gets the bucket.
29:02That assist got a little nod from her teammate after the bucket.
29:05Two minutes remaining again.
29:06Two minutes.
29:09Reese defending.
29:10Pass to hole.
29:14Here's Burrell.
29:15The trade.
29:17The shot off that time.
29:22Tries to break her ice.
29:24And right on target.
29:26Good.
29:27Absolutely fearless offensively.
29:30Howard knows her team is counting on her.
29:32So she gets it done.
29:35Turner.
29:35Guarded by Jones.
29:39Out to the right wing.
29:42Pass to Burrell.
29:44Six on the shot clock.
29:46Hull.
29:46Three-pointer.
29:47Brings it from beyond the arc.
29:50I can't let Hull get wiggle room for these corner spots.
29:52But she can sink them.
29:54The dream trail.
29:59Outside, Howard.
30:00Here's the three.
30:02The shot that time.
30:03Not on target.
30:05Surprising miss.
30:06Wouldn't you say?
30:07I mean, she usually devours those wide-open opportunities.
30:13Pass to Hull.
30:23The three-pointer off the mark.
30:29Outside, Howard.
30:30Reese.
30:32Wow!
30:33A huge basket to tie the game.
30:36Most of the time, Howard is looking to score.
30:38But right there, she smartly gives it away to someone with a better shot.
30:46Guarded by Canada.
30:51Pass to Burrell.
30:55Werner.
30:55Guarded by Jones.
30:57What?
30:59$4.
31:00A huge basket to beat this for two days.
31:03Let's get you down.
31:06Yeah!
31:08Fire!
31:08Fire!
31:14Fire!
31:22Fire!
31:24Fire!
31:30Outside, Howard.
31:38Yes!
31:40Well executed possession and a well-controlled shot.
32:07Three off the inbound.
32:10Bullseye! Nails it!
32:12Nice play there on the inbound, but he's lost contact with her, and she gets the three to go.
32:18And a dream call time here.
32:20They've got enough time to get a good shot.
32:22It has to be quick, but it doesn't have to be a key.
32:26You can still catch, turn, and shoot.
32:30They've got one shot at it.
32:32Obviously, it's a make-or-break situation.
32:46A three from Alicia Gray.
32:48Oh, the all-or-nothing shot attempt falls offline.
32:53And so the home crowd treated to a win.
32:56What a show they put on here at home tonight.
32:58These are those games that are so great to win and so hard to lose.
33:03I love being on the edge of my seat.
33:04They're just wondering what would happen next.
33:08And that's a wrap, everyone.
