00:05Hello and welcome to this 2K sports presentation of the WNBA facing the Atlanta dream in the booth
00:13with Tim Swartz and Brian Banapatemi. I'm Blake Suniga and we're glad to have you along for the
00:18ride. Well tonight you need to make the most of your chances. Both of these teams are terrific
00:25on the glass. Yeah, I'm curious if either side can get the edge of that department. They both
00:29have been so consistent when it comes to rebounding. And that's going to be an interesting line to follow
00:34tonight guys. You have to think that whoever gets the edge on the boards is going to be in control
00:40of the game.
01:04It'll be the dream off the tip. To the inside. Here's Reese. Gray outside. Back to Jones.
01:18And it's going to be a three second call.
01:44Starting off one for one with that shot. Just slicing her way to the rim.
01:49Howard showing just how dangerous she is when she's in attack mode.
01:54And during the last couple of off season, Ryan Howard has worked as a D1 assistant coach.
02:00Yeah, others might play overseas maybe in that new three on three league. Howard's been coaching
02:04in a major conference. What a great experience for Ryan.
02:08Gray, that's good. Well quite simply, Alicia Gray is a bucket. She'll find ways to score all over the floor.
02:16Go. Guarded by Canada. Softly drops in the floater. Oh, that's an elegant move to drop in the floater.
02:31First quarter play with about a minute and a half gone by. Howard.
02:35Howard. Shoots the three. It's tipped.
02:44Turner with the ball. Reese on her.
02:50Drills the three-pointer.
02:52That was simply a defensive breakdown there. She was all alone for that shot. I mean, that's like a warm
02:59-up jumper.
03:01Now it's Reese.
03:07Gray outside.
03:09That one falls. A great assist by Angel Reese.
03:14Yes, Gray wanting to respond.
03:16Each center should have been 30% for a season from deep.
03:23Turner in the post.
03:24Guarded by Jones.
03:26And it's Turner missing.
03:28The steal.
03:31Here we go. One-on-one.
03:34Goes up and lays it in nice and easy.
03:37Well, that fast break, it went according to plan.
03:40Yeah, nice job recognizing the opportunity was there to push it and then just perfect execution.
03:45Such a joy to watch.
03:47Now it's Reese.
03:52That's good by Jones.
03:54These inside looks are what Jones is all about and she knows how to outwork the defense.
04:01Foul called that time on the way up and that will give us three chances at the three-pointer.
04:07You don't want to get in the habit of letting the offense get right to the rim.
04:12And that's the message they were sending with that foul, saying nothing easy inside with that one.
04:18Yeah, but they got to play a little bit better defense before they get inside.
04:21The dream making a switch here.
04:25That one falls, so she hits both of them.
04:29And Atlanta has possession.
04:34Pass to Reese.
04:36Howard.
04:37Knacks down the three ball.
04:39Wow, Howard with the quick release.
04:43Now Burrell.
04:47Good for the basket starting off one for one with that shot.
04:51No mistake on that one, good work all around.
04:57First quarter of play and just over three and a half minutes in.
05:02Jones outside.
05:06And here's Ryan Howard from the arc.
05:08And the dream, another three.
05:11They're relying on their three-point shooting and getting pretty good results.
05:15You're right.
05:16Three of their last five makes are from beyond the arc.
05:19Turner with the bucket.
05:21Backed by her solid footwork.
05:23Turner knows a thing or two about scoring inside.
05:30Now here's McDonald.
05:32Defense is right there.
05:34Here's Gray.
05:35And again, the dream score.
05:38Fired that bounce pass in there beautifully.
05:44Now here's Cole.
05:46She hasn't scored yet.
05:47That, I'm sure, will change.
05:50And it's Turner missing.
05:53Yeah, her touch has deserted her this quarter.
05:56Nowhere to be found.
05:58Shot by Howard.
05:59No good.
06:03Guarded by McDonald.
06:06Dream with the rebound.
06:11Outside Howard.
06:13Pass to Gray.
06:16Now Reese.
06:19And the shot is good.
06:21They wasted no time settling into their offense.
06:25Yeah, they're locked in right now.
06:27Really making the most out of their possessions.
06:29I love the game plan from this coach early.
06:32Here's Burrell.
06:36Score the basket for third after five shots.
06:40Of their last six baskets, five have come on the interior.
06:45This is smash-mouth basketball, guys.
06:48Yeah, they're really imposing their will offensively and getting exactly the kind of looks they want.
06:53The putback controls the rebound and puts it back up and in.
06:58Great job of crashing the offensive glass.
07:01Now she stayed with it for some hard-nosed, tough basketball.
07:07Now here's Turner.
07:09Eight-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock.
07:15And here's Burrell.
07:17Six to shoot.
07:18It's hauled in by Reese.
07:23Six to shoot.
07:24Outside Howard.
07:24The three.
07:26Drops in the tray.
07:34Good if it goes.
07:36Oh, no good trying to beat the buzzer.
07:39The scoring fast and furious as we end the first quarter.
07:43It's the dream leading by nine.
07:46And back with the start of the second quarter in just a moment.
08:00's around 7 to 10, 10.
08:02All right, let's get started.
08:03Whatever you will smoke and blow over this area.
08:08We're gonna become the juniorčż‘ years to watch it.
08:10I'm about to tell you something all night.
08:11With respect to the potential success by theих,
08:11The teaching class was about 8-2022.
08:11Good if it goes into 303 years.
08:12Good if it goes.
08:14All right, let's get started.
08:16I'm playing with respect to 4221.
08:33Well, not exactly a neck-and-neck game, but as the second quarter starts, there is plenty
08:38of time for a comeback, and looking at what we've seen from the Dream, what do you guys
08:44think?
08:44They've made the most of their fast-break chances here in the early going.
08:47Yeah, tie your shoelaces, because they can run, and they've done a good job filling the
08:52lanes in transition.
09:01Now Bandersloot.
09:02Pass to Juhas.
09:04Johannes, covered by Vivian.
09:08And here's Bell.
09:11Faked in off the glass.
09:13They've shown some great passing on their last few trips down the floor.
09:17You've got to imagine that their coach is very happy with that.
09:20Four straight passes leading to scores.
09:22That's just great team play.
09:24Now, here's McDonald.
09:26He hasn't yet put up any points in this one.
09:29Victoria Vivians for three.
09:31And again, Atlanta with the triple.
09:34Back-to-back three-pointers for them.
09:36The defense is slacking off a little.
09:38You've got to respect that three, or you'll give up points in a hurry.
09:42That's the tenth straight point they've given up in the paint.
09:45It doesn't matter how good their perimeter defense is if they keep allowing easy looks
09:50inside.
09:51Now, here's McDonald.
09:53Vivians misses.
09:55Order number two was just over a minute of play.
10:01Harrison no good.
10:05Atlanta leading.
10:09Pass to Hillman.
10:11Good.
10:12First shot, first basket.
10:14She had her head on a swivel and was able to still pick up the pass and get the assist.
10:19Here's Harrison.
10:23Back to Vandersloot.
10:25Harrison.
10:27Here's Juhas.
10:28Played in with a nice touch off the glass.
10:31And Juhas is such a tough cover in the frontcourt.
10:34With her size and skill, she really makes the defense work.
10:39Now, here's Howard.
10:41Eleven points in the game.
10:43I would not be surprised to see them double her up.
10:47I agree.
10:47They haven't been able to succeed with single coverage.
10:51Atlanta calls timeout.
11:02Find the length.
11:04Find the length.
11:05One shot.
11:12You know, Ryan Howard has got a good sense for finding her shots and she is always ready
11:17to attack, which means the defense essentially has to watch her at all times.
11:23And that one good.
11:25She's so good at recognizing where the openings are and getting that ball to the rim.
11:33outside Canada.
11:35Crafty move.
11:37And once again off the mark by Atlanta.
11:41That's the Burrell.
11:44Hull.
11:47Now here's Juhas.
11:49Now here's Hull.
11:51Guarded by Canada.
11:53Just five to shoot.
11:54That one drops for her.
11:57You know, they've been extremely efficient and effective getting the ball inside.
12:01Totally.
12:02I mean, we're seeing some real shortcomings from this defense.
12:05They've given up five straight good looks in the paint.
12:07Now here's McDonald.
12:10No scoring yet from her, but that's likely to change.
12:14Canada with the bucket.
12:15Well, the arc isn't Canada's preferred shooting location, but she does have the touch to make
12:20it work.
12:21Shots good by Bell.
12:24Oh, man.
12:25She is so good at making those lead passes.
12:32Outside Canada.
12:34Pass to McDonald.
12:36Hillman.
12:38Back to McDonald.
12:40There's the three.
12:43Six on the shot clock.
12:45Howard misses.
12:48One item that stood out is their ball movement.
12:51Things are definitely clicking and more importantly, it's tough to defend.
12:55Juhas.
12:56That's good.
12:57And they're really keeping that ball hopping around.
12:59Yeah, hip hopping around if you ask me.
13:02Look, their last five trips have all ended with a great pass leading to a hoop.
13:05They are really sharing the basketball.
13:08Pass to Jones.
13:11No good there.
13:13Those chances, usually they're two points for her.
13:16The D, I guess, did just enough to bother her.
13:22It's the three-point bomb.
13:24It seems that every pass they make is leading to a score here.
13:28Just phenomenal ball movement.
13:30Everyone's looking for the best shot and it's paid off during this run.
13:33Now here's Jones.
13:35Inside.
13:36And a great assist by Jordan Canada.
13:40And that one falls in.
13:41Superb assist.
13:43She was crafty, creative, and the ultimate teammate on that play.
14:10Guarded by Canada.
14:12Guarded by Canada.
14:14Passed a hole.
14:17Passed a hole.
14:22Guarded by Jones.
14:24Guarded by Jones.
14:24Down to five on the shot clock.
14:28Atlanta with the ball.
14:30They've led by as many as 11 points.
14:34And here's Hillman.
14:36Defended by Turner.
14:39Jordan Canada for three.
14:41Gets it to go from downtown.
14:44After going scoreless in the first, she's really found a way to turn it on here in the second quarter.
14:52Pass to Burrell.
14:53Launches a three.
14:54That's basket number two with her third shot.
14:58Off to a fast two for three.
15:00Three's going down quickly at both ends.
15:02What an answer.
15:04You come at me with the three.
15:05I'm coming right back.
15:07Everybody gets a three.
15:08Gray.
15:09Now here's Gray.
15:10Seven points in the game.
15:12When she has the ball outside, that's exactly the kind of defense they gotta be playing on.
15:18Turner with the bucket.
15:20And we've got an injury on the floor.
15:23Very unfortunate, as always, guys.
15:25Don't like to see this.
15:27Man.
15:28I mean, this is something you just hate to see.
15:31Yeah.
15:31It's a tough part of the game.
15:33Hopefully it's not a serious injury.
15:35Sub-strategy.
15:37Peace.
15:39Ryan Howard.
16:00Fairies the 20-footer.
16:01She is setting this place on fire.
16:05Her shooting has been off the charts.
16:07And the first half comes to a conclusion.
16:10In a game that has been very close so far.
16:13Dream out in front.
16:14Up five.
16:16And we'll step away briefly, but get you right back out there for the start of the third quarter
16:20after the break.
16:41And the first half comes to a conclusion.
16:44Let's hear it from the participant.
16:59The second half comes to a conclusion.
17:14We'll see it from the conclusion.
17:42We'll see if one can pull away in the third.
17:45You know, Howard has just been exceptional here, fellas.
17:50He put on a show from three-point range in the first half.
17:53We'll see if the halftime break had any cooling effect on her.
17:56Well, we'll soon find out because I guarantee they're going to keep feeding her the rock beyond the arc until
18:03she does cool off.
18:14Pass to Turner.
18:16To the wing on the left.
18:20Now hole.
18:21Gray defending.
18:25Here's Turner.
18:27Green with the rebound.
18:29Well, if this ball game comes down to the rebounding battle, they'll be the ones coming out on top.
18:34They've had a strong game on that front without question.
18:38Shot by Canada.
18:39No good.
18:39Good.
18:43Flexi hole on the wing.
18:45Turner.
18:49Guarded by Canada.
18:51Pass to hole.
18:55She gets that one.
18:57Three points from the hole.
18:59She leads it all out on the floor.
19:01Atlanta in the lead.
19:06Outside Canada.
19:09Powered up top.
19:14Tries from 10.
19:16Jump shot is good.
19:17The defenders were a little lazy getting to her that time.
19:21I can't imagine the coaching staff being pleased with that.
19:26Makes that one.
19:27Her six of the night.
19:28Shooting a very healthy six for nine.
19:31Don't need much range to hit from that distance.
19:34And the dream call time here.
19:36For the dream.
19:38First.
19:38First.
20:06Over a minute and a half into this third.
20:08quarter action. Here's Canada. Ways it up and banks it in. And you cannot let Canada get this
20:15type of positioning. That is just asking for trouble. That's to Burrell.
20:24Started by Canada. Here's Turner. Misses the layup. That's the kind of D that's needed when
20:30she's got the ball near the hoop. They were all over her.
20:37Here's Canada. Eight points for her. They get the rebound. Back to the right wing.
20:47Block at six. Howard. And she's good on the three ball. She has shot the ball
20:54exceptionally well as they built this lead for themselves.
21:00And we're well into the third quarter. Just over two and a half minutes played.
21:05Turner up top.
21:14And right away they match it with a three pointer of their own.
21:18The rapid fire threes coming from everywhere.
21:21I wasn't sure they should try to get the three right back like that. But hey it worked out for
21:26them.
21:28And here's Ryan Howard from the arc. Hold with the rebound.
21:32Not quite enough defense that time around. Lucky she was off.
21:37I just hope that was a mistake by the D. Because if that's how they plan to guard her,
21:42they're going to have serious problems.
21:45Anticipated the pass. Turnover. Here's Howard. Finished off the break.
21:51Well, Ryan Howard has her fingerprints all over this.
21:55She's been gunning from deep. If you're guarding her, you've got to get into her jersey.
22:01You can't sag off her at all. Or you're just asking her to drop another turn on her.
22:07So it's both teams making substitutions here.
22:16Third quarter of basketball here. A little under three and a half minutes gone now.
22:22Pass to Turner.
22:26Started by McDonald.
22:32Shot clock at six.
22:37From the top of the key.
22:39It's rebounded by Atlanta.
22:41They've led by as many as 11 points.
22:44Well, controlling the boards, they're plus five in that category.
22:47Yeah, look. Rebounding, it's not a glamour stat.
22:50But you look at the scoreboard and you see the result.
22:56Here's hole.
22:58It's hauled in by Angel Reese.
23:01And here's the dream.
23:03Ten-point lead.
23:06Hole!
23:08Awaiting foul.
23:09Next season foul.
23:11First personal foul.
23:13First team foul.
23:15Apple line for Atlanta.
23:17Angel Reese!
23:19And she can't get the first one.
23:27And she's good on the second.
23:35And here's Bell.
23:39Let's it go from deep.
23:42Sinks the triple.
23:43A textbook lead to Hall who was all set up, ready to shoot.
23:47The dream on offense.
23:49Eight-point game.
23:52Mary McDonald, here we go.
23:53It's stolen by Turner.
23:58Now Bell.
24:01The three-pointer, no good.
24:05On deep, Alicia Gray.
24:07That's good.
24:08And it's Mary McDonald with the assist.
24:10A younger player who loves to learn and loves to improve.
24:15I don't think it's crazy to say that Gray will be unstoppable when she develops a consistent long haul.
24:21They're not being as aggressive from the three-point line anymore.
24:25And they had a lot more attempts in the first half.
24:57Outside Howard.
24:58I don't see her comfort zone.
25:00But hey, she looked pretty comfortable right there, didn't she?
25:04Three-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock.
25:08Five to shoot.
25:13So she gets the whistle.
25:15Contact on the way up.
25:16Two shots.
25:17Next.
25:17Second team foul.
25:20At the line.
25:26And the first one falls for her.
25:39She hits both from the strike.
25:48The points coming in bunches as we wrap up the third quarter.
25:51It's been a good one.
25:53It's the dream.
25:54Up nine.
25:56And time to step away quickly, but we'll be back in no time with the start of the fourth quarter.
26:17Welcome back as we get set to start the fourth.
26:26Atlanta in the lead.
26:30Back to Canada.
26:35Pass to McDonald.
26:36For three.
26:37The three-pointer is on target.
26:39Well, this time, it's McDonald getting set up, knocking down the day of the first pass.
26:45Down low.
26:47Now you, Haas.
26:49And she drops it in from the low post.
26:52I know she's doing her best to carry them, but she can only do so much.
26:57Things would be different for them if she was getting a little more help.
27:01And there's a pick.
27:03Victoria Vivians for three.
27:04And again, Atlanta with the triple.
27:07Three-pointers are killing them, and they haven't been able to respond at the other end.
27:11But the way to turn that around is defensively.
27:14You know, by stopping their outside shot, not by getting into a shootout.
27:20Now to the wing.
27:21Here's Johannes.
27:23Connects from three-point range.
27:25How about that for a response?
27:27We'll give you a three, and then we'll take it right back.
27:30Turning into a three-point contest.
27:34Pass to McDonald.
27:38Back to Vivians.
27:39Puts up a three.
27:41A shot off that time.
27:46And here's Bell.
27:51And we've made our way through just over a minute and a half of this fourth quarter.
27:55And she makes that one.
27:58Four of their last five makes came off a high-quality shot inside.
28:02And that's right out of the textbook.
28:04They are having their way down low right now.
28:07Outside McDonald.
28:08Jacks up a three.
28:11Rebound by Juhas.
28:15Bell.
28:15Guarded by McDonald.
28:16And stolen by Erie McDonald.
28:30Well, on the floor, Victoria Vivians gets you a little bit of everything.
28:34And not just shooting and passing, but make sure you're talking about rebounds and defense as well.
28:42The dream on offense.
28:45Thirteen points was their biggest lead of the game.
28:49Outside, Reese.
28:51Pass to Howard.
28:52Three-pointer.
28:54Burries the long-range jumper.
28:56She's really picking up where she left off in the first half.
29:03Guarded by Howard.
29:06Here's Hall.
29:08Here's Burrell.
29:10Here's Burrell.
29:10Here's Burrell.
29:11And she can't answer back the three-pointer off line.
29:15Pass to Canada.
29:21Now, Vivians.
29:22Powered up top.
29:26Yes, it's good.
29:28Well, when you look at all the different ways that Howard can score from all three levels,
29:33you just imagine that there's going to be many, many nights like this for her.
29:39Oh, no good.
29:40And that's been the story of the game.
29:42The rebounding has been very one-sided.
29:45And they've been on the winning end.
29:47I'm a huge effort guy.
29:48And because effort is one thing you can always control.
29:52Credit this lead to force of will.
29:58Here in the fourth quarter, just under two and a half minutes gone by.
30:03And if they want, they can milk the clock a little bit here.
30:06Great point, Blake.
30:07That'd be the best option.
30:08I'd agree.
30:09You should go.
30:11By Reese.
30:13Three.
30:13Ryan Howard.
30:14They get it back.
30:16Outside, Vivians.
30:20Second shot opportunity.
30:22Five on the clock.
30:23Here's Gray.
30:24In Atlanta, another bucket.
30:26Quality look from Gray.
30:28I mean, she's going to shoot it from there when she gets the chance every time.
30:41The dream making a switch here.
30:43The dream making a switch here.
30:44The dream making a switch.
30:46The dream making a switch here.
30:58Two minutes.
30:59Two minutes.
30:59Two minutes.
31:00Two minutes.
31:04Burrell.
31:05Guarded by Howard.
31:06Hull.
31:07Hands it from downtown.
31:08down. Stretching the floor, Hull, a strong three-point shooter. And they've built a very
31:15nice lead. No signs of slowing down, at least as far as I can tell. Take by Reese. Einhauer
31:23drives in. That one falls. They can't afford to give her that kind of look. Well, it came
31:29off a good screen, but still, as a defender, you have to fight over the top of it. And
31:38here's Hull. Gets a three-pointer to fall. Get your popcorn ready. Her performance from
31:45Long Rain has been something to behold, something to admire. Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean,
31:51that's been her shot today. Here's Reese. Great. That's in there. Angel Reese with the assist.
32:00And they're getting that lead way up there by now. It should be easy for them the rest
32:05of the way. Yeah, and at this late stage of a game, a lead like that has a team feeling
32:10awfully good. And the other one bad.
32:16Canada with it. Outside Howard. Uncovered. And good. Got the friendly bounce off the right
32:24side of the rim. And they're not finished yet. They're going to make sure about this
32:28win. Yeah, they're not taking any chances. This is how you close a game out. Just look
32:34happy they're coaches. Boy, I'd settle for having as many points in the game as she has
32:40rebounds. Right now, we're really witnessing something special. And it's Gray missing.
32:46Pass to Turner. Rides to break her ice. It's hauled in by Reese. And there's a whistle.
32:54Oh, that goes on Turner. That is her first foul of the game.
32:58Team foul. Substitution on the court.
33:05And they're making this a runaway. Yeah, the only question here for us to follow is how
33:10big the lead will eventually become.
33:14Off target with the three.
33:19Here's Joe Hannes. Covered by Vivian.
33:33So, no problem for Atlanta as they get the win. A confident win and one where they clearly
33:40show the greater effort. And they put on a show here at home. I think they had and felt
33:45like they had the edge and that extra confidence. And that'll wrap it up.
33:49It makes you look to see you again at the next event.
