00:30But they've taken that in 2026
00:31Built on it and improved
00:33Head coach Natalie Nakase deserves to take the credit
00:36But she really deserves it
00:38She's got a 581 winning percentage in the regular season
00:41She's up for another Coach of the Year award
00:43They had 23 wins just all of last year
00:46They could hit that number by Sunday
00:48It's just incredible, Matt
00:50What Coach Nakase has done
00:53In just her second season as a head coach
00:56And then you look at this roster
00:57Veronica Burton, last year most improved player
00:59You've got Caitlin Chen in the running for most improved player this year
01:02And Janelle Salon running away
01:04With the Sixth Player of the Year race
01:07As the Valkyries control the opening tip
01:09It's Gabby Williams
01:10Dumping it off to Chechi
01:12And for the Valkyries set a franchise record
01:15With 26 assists last game
01:17Moe
01:17And that ball movement will be key for them
01:19Finding good looks as always
01:21It was beautiful
01:21And hopefully they can just keep moving without the ball as well
01:24Chechi for three
01:25Oh, let's get this party started
01:28And that's how you start things off, Jordan
01:30You saw Veronica Burton attack
01:33Get that paint touch
01:34And kick it back out to Chechi
01:35An assist for a made three
01:38Was the recipe last game
01:40Just two nights ago
01:41Against the Tempo
01:42And now for the Valkyries defensively
01:45The game plan was all around Mabry
01:47And she's going to try
01:48Forces the three
01:49No good
01:50Williams rips down the board
01:56Shechi
01:57The catch
01:58The drive
01:58Has it ripped away
02:00Allman has had some really great hands
02:02As of late
02:03For the Tempo
02:05That's what the Tempo want to do
02:06They want to get the ball out
02:07And just go
02:09Long shot
02:10No good
02:10Gabby
02:11Another rebound
02:14KT
02:15Was one for one last game
02:17But is shooting 50% from three
02:19Over the last five games
02:21Gabby
02:21Spinning
02:22Whirling
02:23Jumper
02:23No good
02:24Already her third rebound
02:26Getting that second chance opportunity early
02:29That's something
02:29That they had a tough time with
02:31Offensive rebound in that last game
02:33Burton between the legs
02:34Her three
02:35Off target
02:36Saboli
02:36Able to claim the loose ball
02:38And one thing you're going to see
02:39From the Valkyries
02:40How many defenders
02:41There's two right there
02:42On Mabry
02:42She has to dump it off to Saboli
02:43For the two
02:44It's like we were saying
02:45From the start
02:46If you are going to throw that blitz
02:47Where's the help going to be
02:49It's just going to take
02:50A different level
02:51Of communicating
02:52That's the challenge sometimes
02:54You send multiple defenders
02:55The rotation on the back side
02:56But the Valkyries
02:57As you know
02:58Will always do a wonderful job
02:59Making those adjustments
03:00Throughout the game
03:01JT
03:02For three
03:03Oh
03:03It is pure
03:04And that's with a hand
03:06In her face
03:08Valkyries
03:08Looking good
03:09From beyond the arc early
03:10We mentioned
03:12Her three point proficiency
03:13The previous trip
03:14Down the floor
03:15Dialed in
03:16Over the last
03:17Five games
03:19Yushkaita
03:19At the rim
03:20Popcorns out
03:21KT the rebound
03:25So many ball handlers
03:26For the Valkyries
03:27To start the break
03:27At any given moment
03:28You've got four of them
03:29Out there at the moment
03:30Chechi
03:30Off the Stokes screen
03:32Now Stokes
03:33Has the size advantage
03:34Camps down low
03:35Valkyries
03:36Out to KT
03:37Fires again
03:38Oh
03:38She's on fire
03:40What I loved about that one
03:42She could have made
03:44One extra pass
03:44To Gabby
03:45But no
03:46She was feeling good
03:47As she saw a defender
03:48Come running up on her
03:49Three
03:51Assists
03:51Three threes
03:52For the Valkyries
03:53KT
03:54Another rebound
03:56Flames
03:59Surrounding her
03:59She dumps it off
04:00To VB
04:01VB
04:03And off to Chechi
04:04Twelve to shoot
04:05For the Valkyries
04:05Coach Nakase
04:06Let's see a little bit
04:08Different action
04:08On the floor
04:09As Gabby
04:10And the paint
04:10Rises up
04:11Off the front of the rim
04:14Mabry whips the pass
04:15Crosscourt to Almond
04:18Ushkaita
04:19The drive
04:20Chechi
04:21Walls are off
04:21Maybe an extra step there
04:25Almond
04:26Bak to Saboli
04:27Saboli
04:27The triple
04:28Puts it in
04:29Saboli
04:29With all five
04:30Of the Tempo's points
04:31And Tempo
04:32Doing a good job there
04:33Just getting the defense
04:34To shift a little bit
04:35Over
04:36The two-player action
04:37Getting the ball
04:38Back out to three
04:39VB kicks it out
04:40Kia
04:41From beyond the arc
04:42Okay
04:42There's room at the table
04:44For Kia Stokes
04:45Wow
04:46They're just spacing
04:47The floor so beautifully
04:48They're making
04:49All their outside shots
04:50They're gonna have a time
04:51When they can just
04:52Keep attacking the paint
04:53Too
04:53Our first foul of the game
04:55Will go against Chechi
04:57And here's Stokes
04:58Oh look at that
05:00Jordan
05:00The paint touch
05:01By Veronica Burton
05:03Getting in there
05:04Getting the defense
05:05To collapse
05:06Getting it out
05:07To Kia Stokes
05:08She gets the ball
05:09And just shoots it
05:10Just no hesitation there
05:13For the Tempo
05:14It's gotta be frustrating
05:15You think
05:15Valkyries won't shoot
05:16Around 45%
05:17From three
05:18In back-to-back games
05:18Is Saboli
05:19My goodness
05:20What a start for her
05:21Eight straight points
05:24And she puts the Tempo
05:25To within four
05:26And that's impressive
05:27I know we talked about
05:28Knowing where Marina Mabry
05:29Is on the floor
05:30But now Saboli's
05:31Feeling hot
05:31Oh look at the handle
05:32From VB
05:33Shakes the defender
05:34Yushkaita
05:35On an island
05:36Defending her
05:36VB
05:37Dumps it off to Gabby
05:40Six to shoot
05:41Chechi
05:41Defended by Mabry
05:44Chechi
05:44Working against Konday
05:46Chechi
05:47Difficult shot
05:48Over Konday
05:49And that'll be
05:50A shot clock violation
05:51First turnover
05:52Second turnover
05:53For the Valkyries
05:54And back to the Tempo
05:56On the offensive end
05:57You see Konday
05:58Doing a good job
05:59Going down low
06:00On the baseline
06:01Defense
06:02All watching her
06:04She gets to kick it out
06:05To Saboli
06:06For another look
06:07You mentioned
06:08Defensive rotations
06:09You've seen
06:09Kia Stokes
06:10Starting off
06:11Defending Saboli
06:12She's helping
06:13All over the floor
06:14Valkyries
06:15I'm sure
06:15Will then get
06:15The rotations
06:16Pinned down
06:17Yushkaita
06:17Flips it over
06:18Saboli
06:18Saboli
06:19For three
06:20Off the front
06:20Of the rim
06:21How about Gabby
06:22Williams
06:22Four rebounds
06:23Already
06:24In the first
06:25Handful of minutes
06:25Putting herself
06:26In the right position
06:27Every single
06:28Possession
06:29Gabby
06:30For three
06:31No good
06:34The Valkyries
06:35Four of nine
06:37From the field
06:38All four made
06:39Field goals
06:39Are threes
06:40Mabry
06:40Between the legs
06:41Mabry
06:42Oh
06:42Stokes
06:43Into the floor
06:44But then Mabry
06:45Takes a shot
06:46To the head
06:48She'll take a moment
06:49To compose
06:50Herself
06:52Mabry frustrated
06:53Right there
06:57So foul on the floor
06:58Against the Valkyries
06:59Will step aside
06:59For a first break
07:00Of the first quarter
07:01Golden State
07:02Leads by four
07:06And there was a game
07:07Earlier this year
07:08That Toronto
07:09Is actually
07:09Fresh off
07:10Her 53 point
07:11Performance
07:11Which is tied
07:12For the most
07:13Points scored
07:13In a single game
07:14In WNBA history
07:15The next game
07:16After that
07:16She was a
07:17Very late
07:18Scratch
07:19Due to
07:20An injury
07:21Above the waist
07:22Right before
07:23Tip-off
07:24And so
07:24Mabry
07:24Who
07:26Was an all-star
07:27This year
07:27Has upped her
07:28Scoring
07:28Has been one
07:29Of the faces
07:29Of this new
07:30Franchise
07:30For Toronto
07:33Hits the first
07:34Free throw
07:34And we check in
07:35With Sandy
07:36Brondello
07:36A two-time
07:37WNBA champion
07:38Most recently
07:39With the New York
07:39Liberty
07:40And her conversation
07:41The other day
07:42About all the injuries
07:43The different starting
07:44Lineups
07:44She's never experienced
07:45Anything like this
07:46After 27 years
07:48In the league
07:48It's certainly been
07:49A tough season
07:50For the tempo
07:51As far as
07:52Just staying healthy
07:52It's crazy
07:54How do you
07:55Coach a team
07:56When you just
07:56Have players
07:57In and out
07:57All the time
07:58Especially
07:58When you're going
07:59Into your inaugural
08:00Season
08:00Trying to set
08:01A tone
08:02And an identity
08:02A lot of fresh
08:03Faces on the floor
08:04For both teams
08:05Janelle Salon
08:06On the post
08:07Defended by Mabry
08:08Four to shoot
08:09Salon
08:09Getting into a rhythm
08:10Poked up by Mabry
08:11Oh you can't do
08:12Anything about it
08:13And this is my
08:14Favorite thing
08:15About Salon's
08:16Offense
08:16It keeps evolving
08:17Keeps growing
08:18And she keeps
08:19Just getting bigger
08:20Down low
08:20Izzy Harrison
08:21On the floor
08:22For the tempo
08:22And an offensive
08:23Foul
08:24Called against Mabry
08:26Let's see that
08:27Again
08:27Janelle Salon
08:28Posting up
08:29On Mabry
08:30Putting the ball
08:31On the floor
08:31Seeing what she
08:32Can do with it
08:33Oh Mabry
08:34Reaches just a little
08:35Bit
08:35She feels that
08:36Contact goes
08:36The other way
08:37The patience
08:38From Salon
08:38With the shot clock
08:39Expiring there
08:40As well
08:41Just a very
08:41Savvy play
09:11Harrison switches on to Salon
09:12Before the trade
09:13Before the trade deadline
09:13The other one
09:14Being Kelsey Plum
09:15To the Phoenix Suns
09:16Comes over
09:16From the Connecticut Sun
09:17And hits her very first shot
09:19As a player
09:20For the tempo
09:20What an introduction
09:22She just made
09:23Wow
09:23Welcome to the tempo
09:25Anissa Morrow
09:26She prides herself
09:28On being a three level scorer
09:29But is known
09:30Especially for her
09:31Defensive rebounding
09:34Her last two games
09:35For the Sun
09:35Had 21 points
09:39KT
09:40Contested triple
09:41Mabry the rebound
09:42One point lead
09:43For the Valkyries
09:43Just under
09:44330 left here
09:45In the first quarter
09:47Harrison
09:48Will step into the triple
09:49Harrison hits it
09:50And the tempo
09:51Of taking the lead
09:52They're now
09:52Four of seven
09:53From beyond the arc
09:54Yeah
09:54Feeling good
09:55From the outside
09:56And you saw
09:56Those last two
09:57You just got to
09:58Put more pressure up
09:59If you're the Valkyries
09:59Defender
10:00Oh it opens up
10:02Harrison comes over
10:03And will be whistled
10:03For the foul
10:05So Burton
10:06Does an excellent job
10:07Of racing to the cup
10:09And the tempo
10:10Is offense right now
10:11Just looking good
10:12From the outside
10:13You see Morrow
10:15Just surveys
10:16Sees it at the top
10:17Feels good
10:18Takes that first shot
10:19Four seconds into the game
10:21And then Harrison
10:22As well
10:23Just goes on the outside
10:24And just
10:25Too much space there
10:27The foul was actually
10:28Against Kiki Rice
10:29And so
10:30Veronica Burton
10:31Will head to the free throw line
10:32Had 17 points
10:33Six assists
10:34Valkyries improve
10:34To 13 and one
10:36Whenever she has
10:37Six or more assists
10:38And
10:39The one thing
10:40We always
10:41Highlight with
10:42Veronica Burton
10:43Is
10:43Tepe enters the game
10:45Her toughness
10:46The number of times
10:47She's knocked to the floor
10:48Throughout the game
10:49Gets right back up
10:49Gets down
10:50On the defensive end
10:52Toughness personified
10:53Her ability
10:54To take a hit
10:55And get back up
10:56Is just absolutely
10:57Incredible
10:57It needs to be studied
10:58By many
10:59The full court pressure
11:00Coming from the Valkyries
11:01The purpose behind that
11:02Here in the first quarter
11:04I like it
11:05I like that they're
11:05Putting the pressure on
11:06They're just throwing
11:07Some different looks
11:08At them
11:08Not trying to
11:09Allow them to get
11:10Into an easy set offense
11:11To your point
11:12It speeds them up
11:12In the half court
11:13Mabry
11:13Goes underneath the hoop
11:14With the left hand
11:15And puts it in
11:17I just feel like
11:18Right now
11:18For the Valkyries defense
11:20We're not seeing
11:20What we're used to seeing
11:21A lot more communication
11:23Just needs to happen
11:24On the back side
11:24And it's a completely
11:25Different game plan
11:26This time around
11:26With Mabry and Morrow
11:27On the floor
11:28For the tempo
11:30Hayes
11:31The quick step
11:31Hayes gets the angle
11:32Puts it up
11:33With the left
11:34Oh
11:34It checks in
11:35And you can always rely
11:37On Tiffany Hayes
11:38To take it
11:39To the basket
11:40Right there
11:41Making something happen
11:42Harrison attacking
11:43KT comes over
11:45Rice in the paint
11:46Rice gets tripped up
11:47Charles all over
11:48The loose ball
11:49But then it's
11:49Poked away
11:50Morrow at the cup
11:51Gets the foul
11:52And the bucket
11:53So Anissa Morrow
11:54Immediately paying
11:56Dividends off that trade
11:57A tough possession
11:59Right there
12:00And you're just seeing
12:00The tempo's offense
12:02Marina Mabry
12:03Doesn't even need
12:04To be on the outside
12:05Takes it all the way
12:06In for the reverse
12:06And then Tiffany Hayes
12:08Doing the same thing
12:10Taking it strong
12:10To the basket
12:11Like you saw there
12:13That possession
12:13That was really tough
12:14To see
12:15The turnover
12:15And then sending
12:16Morrow to the line
12:18For an and run
12:18Opportunity
12:19To your point
12:20The Valkyries
12:21U.S. turnovers
12:23Per game this year
12:24Just over 11
12:25They have four
12:25Already in the first quarter
12:27Always something
12:28They want to clean up
12:29They've improved greatly
12:31Over last year
12:32Where they still
12:32Just a few
12:33At about 13 per game
12:34But 11
12:36Sensational
12:37Leticia Mee here
12:38Caitlin Chen
12:38On the floor
12:39Chen
12:39Handles with Rice
12:40Defending
12:41Two minutes left
12:42Here in the first quarter
12:43Chen
12:43Morrow switches out
12:44On to her
12:44Chen goes right by her
12:46In the paint
12:46Chen the floater
12:48Oh yes
12:49What a decision
12:50Reading what the defense
12:51Was giving her right there
12:52Not going all the way
12:53To the rim
12:54And finishing with the floater
12:55Six bench points
12:56Already in the first quarter
12:57For the Valkyries
12:59Rice
13:00The drive
13:01Chen cuts her off
13:03And we're gonna have
13:05Defensive three
13:06And the key
13:07Called against the Valkyries
13:08Caitlin Chen
13:09Taking some contact
13:11As she was going
13:12Down the middle
13:13Finishing with that floater
13:14I just love her
13:16Decision making
13:16She does such a great job
13:18If someone had come up
13:19And she didn't have it
13:20She would have passed it out
13:20Her improvement
13:21From last year
13:22To this year
13:23The numbers wise
13:24Of course
13:25It's sensational
13:26Caitlin Chen
13:27Top four
13:28And bench scoring
13:29This season
13:29Averaging 7.4 points
13:31Per game
13:31But for me
13:32It's the immediate
13:33Decision making
13:34On the floor
13:34The aggressiveness
13:35There's no second guessing
13:37From Caitlin Chen
13:37It just seems like
13:39When that second unit
13:40Comes in
13:40And she's leading the charge
13:41That it just continues
13:43What it all started with
13:44Hayes
13:45A remarkable
13:46Defensive possession
13:47From Hayes
13:48Just getting to the right spot
13:49And forcing the tough pass
13:51One of those subtle things
13:52That you really have to
13:53Watch the film for
13:54But she was flying
13:55All over the floor
13:56Then Hayes
13:57On the other end
13:57Wow
13:58A bolt to the rim
13:59Look at the spacing
14:01The paint
14:02Wide open
14:02For Hayes
14:03To go to work
14:06Tied up
14:07At 22 apiece
14:08And a little bit
14:09Of tangled action
14:10There on the
14:11Ball screen
14:12The foul goes
14:12Against Charles
14:15It'll be the second
14:16Personal
14:17Against Charles
14:17And Hayes
14:18Has a few words
14:19With the officiating crew
14:20This crew
14:21Of Roy Goboyan
14:22Ashley Gloss
14:24And Blanca Burns
14:2817 to shoot
14:29For Toronto
14:31Both teams
14:32Shooting over
14:3357%
14:34From the field
14:35Defense
14:36Defense
14:38Defense
14:38Defense
14:39Defense
14:39Rice
14:39Looks into the corner
14:41Yushkite
14:41The drive
14:42Met by two defenders
14:43Oh
14:44Poked away
14:44Charles just took it
14:46Fantastic activity
14:48By Charles
14:49To push it
14:49The other way
14:50The Valkyries
14:52Can hold for a solid look
14:53Here
14:53It's Hayes
14:55Working against Rice
14:56Hayes
14:57The vet
14:57Trying to school
14:58The rookie
14:59The three
14:59Off the front
15:00Of the rim
15:00On me here
15:01Offensive rebound
15:02Chen fires it to the corner
15:03Here's Salon
15:04For three
15:05Oh
15:06It is good
15:1311 bench points
15:14In the first quarter
15:15Valkyries with a three point lead
15:18Yushkite
15:20Over to Rice
15:21Chen
15:21Walls are off
15:23Rice
15:23Up top
15:24Yushkite
15:25For three
15:26No good
15:26Oh
15:27It's a battle
15:27Down low
15:28On me here
15:29Up ahead
15:30Salon
15:31Locating the three point
15:32Shot
15:33Dumps it up to Charles
15:34Her three
15:34No good
15:35Hayes
15:36Fighting for the rebound
15:37Saved by the tempo
15:38Rice
15:39Gonna get one more
15:39Look at it
15:40Five seconds left
15:41Here in the first quarter
15:42Rice
15:43Saboli
15:43She's had the hot
15:44And Saboli
15:45In and out
15:46At the horn
15:47Coney
15:48Gets it off the glass
15:50I'll tell you what
15:52Both teams
15:53Incredible effort
15:55If you're a fan of hoop
15:56And a fan of great bass quarter
15:58And you look at the stats
15:59Both teams shot the ball
16:01Really well
16:02They shared the ball
16:03You've got 13 combined assists
16:05You had nine made
16:06Three point field goals
16:07And right now
16:08Toronto
16:09They don't want to lose
16:10This season's
16:10Season series
16:12And get swept
16:12By the Valkyries
16:13But you love the effort
16:15The bench provided
16:16Especially coming into this game
16:17Yeah
16:17And that's exactly
16:18What you want to keep seeing
16:19Obviously from the Valkyries
16:21Everything that they have
16:22To give on the offensive end
16:24From their bench
16:25You want to make sure
16:25Every single time
16:26They're stepping out there
16:27They're making an impact
16:28Saboli to the corner
16:29Coney
16:29Who beat the horn
16:30Just before the end
16:31Of the first quarter
16:32Five straight points
16:33For her now
16:34As the tempo
16:35Take the lead
16:35And the three point shooting
16:37For both these teams
16:38Has been fantastic
16:39But to see that
16:40From the tempo
16:41Here early
16:42Just means for the Valkyries defense
16:43You got to do a better job
16:44Of talking it up
16:45These are two of the top
16:47Three point shooting teams
16:48In the league
16:48Caitlin Shannon
16:49Can't get it to drop
16:50Rebound to Saboli
16:51All mine
16:52And to race it up the floor
16:54Cut off by Charles
16:55Saboli
16:55To Ushkaita
17:00Rice over to Conde
17:01And that's the thing
17:02With Toronto
17:02They have capable
17:03Three point shooters
17:04Every position
17:05And a great move
17:06But unable to finish
17:07Is Ushkaita
17:08And they're locked out there
17:10Because Salon
17:11Was a little late
17:11On that help
17:12Hayes the crossover
17:13Sees three defenders
17:15And Mihir hands it off
17:16To Salon
17:17Salon
17:17Flips it back to Charles
17:19Charles working against
17:21Allman
17:21Stepping through
17:22Charles
17:23Tough take
17:24Can't convert though
17:25And Allman
17:26With a lot of contact there
17:27As Charles just kept
17:28Trying to push through
17:34Conde
17:34Catch and shoot three
17:36No good
17:37Charles
17:37Another rebound
17:44Salon has been
17:45Such a capable
17:46Three point shooter
17:47But she can also
17:48Step into the two
17:49Gets her own shot
17:50Rebound to Chen
17:52I love how
17:53How her game
17:53Has evolved
17:54Jordan
17:54She's done such
17:55A great job
17:55Of being willing
17:56To take shots
17:57Just like that
17:58And not just threes
17:59Chen looking to
18:00Break down Rice
18:00That ball deflected
18:01Out of bounds
18:02Three point two
18:03Remaining on the
18:04Shot clock
18:04And one more look
18:06At the Conde bucket
18:07Salon doing a good job
18:08Here showing what type
18:10Of threat she can be
18:11From the inside out
18:12And you saw the
18:12Defense collapse
18:13On Salon
18:14Leaving Conde
18:16Open in the corner
18:17Gabby Williams
18:18And Kia Stokes
18:20Back on the floor
18:21And Salon
18:21Thought the ball
18:22Was going the other way
18:22She hustles back
18:23Into the action
18:24Three point two
18:24Valkyries have to be
18:25Quick
18:25And a turnover
18:26Unfortunately from Chen
18:28As she flips it in
18:29And you skites it
18:29Will bring it back down
18:31And you're seeing
18:32Some sloppy plays
18:33From the Valkyries
18:34Early on
18:34This is something
18:35That you want to
18:36Make these in-game
18:36Adjustments
18:37Obviously here
18:38In the second quarter
18:39But at the half
18:39It's something
18:40They'll be talking about
18:40That's what Coach
18:41Nakase said
18:42You want to play
18:42Four complete quarters
18:44Saboli
18:45Flicks the pass
18:45Tempo
18:46Working it around
18:46The horn
18:47Conde
18:47Another three
18:48Laces it
18:49Conde
18:50With eight points
18:51Fantastic
18:51Ball movement
18:53Again
18:53Getting it inside
18:54Saboli
18:55You know what type
18:55Of threat she is
18:56They kick it out
18:57And swing it around
18:58To Conde
18:58Tempo can fill it up
19:00Once they get into
19:01A rhythm
19:01They've got 30 points
19:0210 of 19
19:03From the field
19:03Shooting 53%
19:05Salon the jab
19:06Step
19:06And the Valkyries
19:08Looking for the paint
19:09Touches
19:10As Chen
19:10Is able to get it
19:11In there
19:12Gets double team
19:13Though
19:14Mabry and
19:14Almond
19:15Force the steal
19:16That's the sixth
19:16Turnover
19:17For the Valkyries
19:18And if you're
19:18Galen Chen
19:19Even right there
19:20Just being a little
19:21Patient
19:21Being strong
19:22With that basketball
19:23Mabry
19:24Catch
19:24Rises
19:25Puts it in
19:26And it's a
19:26Seven point lead
19:27Largest of the game
19:28For the tempo
19:29And they are
19:29Clicking on
19:30Offense
19:30At this moment
19:31Valkyries
19:32Will call a timeout
19:33Head to the whiteboard
19:34And try to make
19:34A couple adjustments
19:35Here
19:36Yeah
19:36As Toronto
19:37Feeling good
19:38On the offensive end
19:39Moving around
19:40That basketball
19:40We say it all the time
19:42Sharing is caring
19:43And that's what you're
19:43Seeing from this
19:44Tempo team
19:45They're making
19:45All their shots
19:54Their numbers
19:55On the season
19:55Tonight
19:56They're 6 of 12
19:57Morgan
19:57In the game
19:58Just two days ago
19:58They were 7 for 30
20:00From beyond
20:01The arc
20:01Because the team
20:02They are shooting
20:03Much more efficiently
20:04From outside
20:05And from the start
20:07Of this game
20:08You're seeing
20:09They're doing such
20:10A good job
20:10Of moving that ball
20:11Around too
20:40A 10-0 Toronto run
21:10Another good look
21:12And that was impressive
21:12And that was impressive
21:13That was even with
21:13Kayla Thornton
21:14Coming out
21:14Closing out
21:15Putting a hand up
21:16But just not far enough
21:45They look like the Valkyries
21:47And they're trying to stay
21:47And they're trying to stay
21:47Active with it
21:48It's just not close enough
21:49And then you're seeing
21:50The Tempo's defense
21:51Looking good
21:52Blocking VB from 3
21:53Good thing for the Valkyries
21:54Still lots of time
21:55Left in this game
21:576 to shoot
21:57Burton the cut
21:58Burton to the rim
21:59She gets fouled by
22:01Allman
22:01And Allman will pick up
22:03Another foul
22:04That's her second
22:05And now you're seeing
22:06Some interior cuts
22:07Coming from the Valkyries
22:08And that's what you want
22:09To see
22:09Even a few possessions
22:10Ago
22:11When Kayla Thornton
22:12Was just moving
22:12Without the basketball
22:13And right there
22:15Veronica Burton
22:16Doing a good job
22:16With that off-ball movement
22:18Coming across the paint
22:19Getting that ball
22:20And going to the line
22:21So for the Valkyries
22:23It feels the adjustment
22:24Right now
22:25Is
22:27Getting to the rim
22:28Putting some pressure
22:29On the interior defense
22:30For Toronto
22:31And then on the other end
22:32Just protecting the ball
22:33As well too
22:34You've got seven turnovers
22:35That have led to 14 points
22:37Off of those turnovers
22:38Controlling what you can control
22:39And that's it
22:40Making sure that you're
22:41Playing basketball
22:42The right way
22:42Whether it's setting
22:43The screen
22:44Not getting that
22:45Offensive foul
22:46And just moving around
22:48The basketball
22:48With intention
22:49Every pass
22:51Every motion matters
22:54Almar
22:55Picks up the dribble
22:56Flicks it to the corner
22:56Conde
22:57The drive
22:58Flicks the pass
22:59To Shobbley
22:59And you just look
23:00At how quickly
23:01The tempo
23:01Rip it around
23:02Missed shot
23:03Rebound to Gabby
23:06Now he's trying
23:07To put together
23:07A little mini run here
23:08Gabby down the lane
23:09Off the glass
23:10Drops it in
23:11And that's a great drive
23:13Just going downhill
23:14From the start
23:15When she crossed
23:16The half court line
23:17Even off of a miss
23:18It's hard for the tempo
23:19To set their defense
23:20Yushkaite down low
23:21And a late whistle
23:22Comes in
23:22The foul against BB
23:23That'll be her first
23:25And Yushkaite doing a great job
23:28Getting that early offense
23:29But going back to Gabby Williams
23:31Dribbling the ball down
23:32Just going at
23:34Marina Mabry
23:35With all that room
23:36In the paint
23:37That's what you want
23:38To see more of
23:38Whether it's the off-ball
23:39Movement
23:39Or the attacks
23:45Laura Yushkaite
23:46As Mabry
23:47Remember
23:47Missed last game
23:48Because of a neck injury
23:50Little bit of contact
23:52To the
23:52Neck area
23:54She was trying
23:54To defend
23:55Gabby
23:56On that last drive
23:57As Yushkaite
23:58A little backspin
23:59In that free throw
24:00Kiki Rice
24:01And Harrison
24:03Will check in
24:03For the tempo
24:05Morrow
24:06Waiting to replace
24:06Yushkaite
24:07After the next
24:08Made shot
24:09Or dead ball
24:10You mentioned them
24:11Early on
24:12The bench
24:13Everybody for the tempo
24:14Feels like
24:15They have just come in
24:17With a different type
24:18Of energy in this game
24:19Just understanding
24:20The assignment
24:20And sometimes
24:21When you get Mabry
24:22Back healthy
24:23As Gabby's looking
24:23For a safety valve
24:24Kia Stokes
24:25Catches it on a jump stop
24:26And Golden State
24:27Will get into their offense
24:28But you get Mabry
24:29Back and healthy
24:30You have Morrow
24:31Joining you
24:32That can sort of
24:32Rejuvenate a team
24:33That has been struggling
24:34Toronto just won
24:35In nine
24:36In their last ten games
24:37Just knowing
24:37What type of threat
24:38Mabry is
24:39From everywhere
24:40On the floor
24:40Stokes
24:41Catch it
24:42Shoot three
24:42Off the front
24:43Of the rim
24:43Conde the rebound
24:47Mabry
24:47Up ahead
24:48The bounce pass
24:49VB
24:49Got a hand on it
24:51What a great play
24:52In recovery
24:53From Veronica Burton
24:54To get a hand
24:56On that ball
24:56Running the floor
24:58And being active
24:59With those hands
25:00Staying with it
25:01Making sure
25:02That Harrison
25:03Was not gonna
25:03Have a good look
25:04At the basket
25:05I want to take
25:05Another look at that
25:06I'm wondering
25:07If that was
25:07Off of Harrison
25:08I believe
25:09Burton hit it
25:10Harrison might have
25:11Thrown it out of bounds
25:12Either way
25:12No challenge
25:14Tempo ball
25:15With 15 to shoot
25:17Conde bounce pass
25:19Harrison pump fake
25:20Against Stokes
25:21No good
25:21Another stop
25:22For the Valkyries
25:25The Valkyries
25:26Get a look at
25:27Transition here
25:28Rice
25:29Checking VB
25:33Stokes
25:34Such a capable
25:35Screener
25:35Back on the floor
25:36VB
25:37Head down
25:37Hesitation
25:38Picks up the foul
25:39She is applying
25:40Tremendous pressure
25:41Against this Toronto
25:42Defense
25:43Going downhill
25:44With force
25:45And that's what
25:46Veronica Burton
25:46Does such a great job of
25:48Especially when she's
25:49Going at a rookie
25:50Right here
25:50Kiki Rice
25:51Trying to stay with her
25:52A lot of contact
25:53There coming down
25:54On her arm
25:55Sending her to the line
25:56I think for the Valkyries
25:58They've cooled down
25:59From three
26:00They started this game
26:01Four of seven
26:01They're just one
26:02For their last seven
26:03From three
26:04But you're seeing
26:05Burton and Williams
26:06Having success
26:07Putting the ball
26:08On the floor
26:08After some motion
26:09On offense
26:10That seems to be
26:11An area where
26:11They have an advantage
26:12Right now
26:12It's not just relying
26:14On them to put the ball
26:15On the floor
26:15And go
26:16It's knowing that
26:17They can create
26:18A different type of energy
26:20On the offensive end
26:21And you're going to
26:22See this tempo
26:22Defense
26:23Have to play it
26:24Differently
26:24Burton with six points
26:26All of them
26:26Coming from the
26:27Free throw line
26:29It's now nine
26:30For Toronto
26:31Williams defending Rice
26:33Conde
26:34No hesitation
26:35Contested three
26:36One shot
26:37Valkyries get the rebound
26:39Williams up ahead
26:40Chechi running the lane
26:41Chechi rises up
26:43Against Rice
26:43Can't get it
26:44Stokes pokes it
26:45Right back in
26:46And a timeout
26:47Needed
26:48By the tempo
26:49As the Valkyries
26:50Are picking up
26:51Their own tempo
26:52At this moment
26:52Trying to get back
26:53Into this game
26:54Ooh
26:55Doing a much
26:55Much better job
26:56Getting the rebound
26:57Pushing it out
26:59Chechi with the miss
27:00But Kiyosuke says
27:01I gotcha
27:01He's starting to walk
27:03Back to Toronto
27:04Four minutes left
27:05Here in the first half
27:06And you've seen
27:07A change offensively
27:09The last couple
27:09Of possessions
27:10From the Valkyries
27:39A much better job
28:09And I will say
28:11The ball just being swung
28:12Around the top of the key
28:13Around the horn
28:14You've got to make sure
28:15You get that paint touch
28:16Allman strong drive
28:18Mabry cuts the water
28:20By VB
28:21Mabry in the middle
28:22Of the key
28:22Working against VB
28:24Locked up defense
28:25From Burton
28:26Nothing there for Mabry
28:27VB sprints back
28:28The other way
28:29Hayes
28:30On the perimeter
28:31With Harrison checking
28:32Hayes rises up
28:33No good
28:35You get the sense
28:36Some of these threes
28:37Will start to drop
28:38For the Valkyries
28:39And that will help
28:40Chip into this lead
28:41A little bit more
28:41But right now
28:42The shooting's been cold
28:43Morrow
28:44Twirling twirling
28:45Morrow to the cup
28:46She's got eight points
28:47In her tempo debut
28:47And Almond comes from behind
28:49Bit of a careless foul
28:50There nearly 90 feet
28:52Away from the bucket
28:52Is that going to be
28:54Her third foul as well
28:56That is the third foul
28:58On Almond
28:58And I feel like
28:59Some of those
29:00Have just been
29:00Absolutely careless
29:01But you go back
29:02To Anissa Morrow
29:03Man
29:04Starting off this game
29:05Strong
29:06Coming off the bench
29:07Obviously knocking down
29:08That three right away
29:09But then you see right there
29:10Just being confident
29:11And attacking
29:11It's subtle
29:12But Almond going to the bench
29:14She's probably the best
29:16On ball defender
29:17In the paint
29:18For any guard
29:19For the tempo
29:19We've seen her
29:20Get her hand
29:21On a couple of shots
29:22And made things difficult
29:23For the Valkyries
29:23Possibly some opportunity
29:25In the key here
29:25For Golden State
29:27Valkyries
29:270 for 5
29:28From 3 this quarter
29:30The Salon
29:31Back in the game
29:35Ball haul
29:35At Channing
29:36Let's go Valkyries
29:37A gamble
29:37From Conde
29:38Hayes
29:39Strong take
29:40To the cup
29:41And Golden State
29:42Continues to chip away
29:43With this parade
29:43To the free throw line
29:44As soon as that second
29:45Body got thrown
29:46Toward Janelle Salon
29:48That's when I want
29:48To see someone
29:49Flash in the paint
29:50But you see
29:51Tiffany Hayes
29:51Somehow get that pass
29:53And goes to the basket
29:55And goes to the basket
29:55And gets the line
29:57So 11 bench points
30:01Hayes with 4 of them
30:03Her ability
30:04To pick on mismatches
30:06And get to the rim
30:06As she hits the first free throw
30:09Key attribute
30:10Of just this
30:11Balanced bench
30:12Right
30:12It's not that you just
30:13Have a deep bench
30:14It's everybody
30:14Knows their roles
30:15They have different strengths
30:17That really complement
30:17One another
30:19Look at the scoring leaders
30:20As Hayes
30:21Passed
30:22Swin Cash
30:22To move at the all-time list
30:24Last game
30:25And continues
30:26To climb further
30:27And further
30:30Seven point lead
30:31For the tempo
30:32Just over two minutes
30:33Left here
30:34In the first half
30:34Valkyries looking
30:35For the season sweep
30:36One of the newest
30:37Expansion teams
30:38In the league
30:38And Mabry
30:40Will call the pass
30:41There you go
30:42Tried to go cross court
30:43Off the front of the rim
30:44Hayes rolling down the floor
30:45Kicks it out
30:46Chechi
30:46Clean look for three
30:48Oh
30:48Ring it up
30:49Pushing the ball
30:51Up the court
30:52In the early offense
30:53All the cross matches
30:54Nobody knew
30:55Who was on Chechi
30:56Just a four point game
30:58Valkyries can smell it
31:01Mabry off the handoffs
31:03These two defenders
31:04VB comes over
31:05Hayes with the steal
31:06You got four players
31:07In violet
31:08Flying down the floor
31:09And a little bit
31:10Too much mustard
31:11There from Hayes
31:12And then I'll go
31:13Back to the tempo
31:13The eighth turnover
31:15Of the game
31:16You see this turnover
31:18By Mabry
31:19Trying to get that pass
31:20Tiffany Hayes
31:21Gets that ball
31:22Pushes it up the floor
31:23Left a two-footed
31:25Jump stop
31:25Surveys
31:26Sees Chechi trailing
31:28Ninety seconds left
31:29Here in the first half
31:30Valkyries trailed
31:31By as many as
31:31Thirteen
31:32A few minutes ago
31:33Saboli
31:35Valkyries switch
31:36Rice
31:36Catch
31:37Drive
31:37Cone day three
31:39Hayes challenge
31:40Great rotation
31:41Valkyries the rebound
31:43VB
31:44In attack mode
31:46Retreats the dribble
31:46Dumps it off to Salon
31:48Salon
31:49With Saboli defending
31:50VB gets the angle
31:52Slows down
31:53No foul
31:54As Morrow comes over
31:57To get the block
31:57Oh and I thought
31:59She got the angle
32:01Got Morrow
32:02On her back
32:03Let's see that once again
32:04I mean
32:05That's
32:05That's a lot of contact
32:07A lot of contact
32:08I will say this the officials are
32:10Compared to a lot of games
32:12We've watched
32:12Letting them play a lot more
32:15And just a surprise look
32:17Coming over from the Valkyries bench
32:19Tend to shoot
32:20KT
32:22Hands off to Salon
32:24Salon going ISO
32:26Contested jumper
32:27Over Saboli
32:28That's going to be short
32:28Long rebound
32:29Hayes is right there
32:30Conde is stunned
32:31A chance here for the Valkyries
32:33Hayes steps through
32:33Salon
32:34Pump fake
32:35Reload
32:364-3
32:36Oh
32:37Shrink
32:38Cash
32:40Shooters
32:40Shoot
32:41Janelle Salon
32:42Misses the first
32:43Gets it again
32:44Pump fake
32:45Patient with it
32:46It's a 15-4
32:47Valkyries run
32:48The lead is cut to one
32:49Saboli the drive
32:50KT
32:51Lower
32:52Offensive foul
32:53This ball
32:54Will go back to the Valkyries
32:56As KT
32:58A little slow to get up
33:02She's a Valkyrie
33:03She's tough
33:04She'll shake it off
33:07Take another look
33:08And now we have a challenge
33:09Coming from Toronto
33:13Oh
33:13And Mabry
33:16Sets the screen
33:17But
33:18Rather than stepping into it
33:20It's almost like
33:20Mabry
33:22Do you think she leaned?
33:23I have to see another angle
33:25We need to see every angle
33:27Right now
33:28She has her feet set
33:29Obviously
33:30She does a pretty good job
33:32It's actually when she takes
33:33That contact
33:34Is when she's moving
33:35Jordan
33:35This could be a tough one
33:36Does the left leg
33:40That is a hard one
33:41From that angle
33:42Because it appears
33:43That Mabry
33:45Was within her frame
33:46Did she lunge forward
33:48A little bit more
33:49To make the contact
33:50With KT
33:50But
33:52Might have been
33:52One of those screens
33:53Where as a defender
33:54You just catch it at the wrong angle
33:56Love this
33:57They were lying
33:57When they said
33:58We have every angle
33:59And no
33:59You're right
34:00From different angles
34:01It almost looks like
34:02Is she leaning in
34:03A little bit
34:03As well
34:08In my opinion
34:11I think it's just a collision
34:12That KT gets on the wrong side of
34:14Okay
34:15I don't see anything
34:16Necessarily egregious
34:18From Mabry
34:19And I think that's why
34:20Toronto
34:21Is challenging
34:22Because it wasn't
34:23One of those screens
34:24Where you're leaning
34:25To the left
34:25Or you stick a leg out
34:26Or you come into a late
34:27The timing seemed to be there
34:29For the most part
34:30But
34:30Either way
34:32For the Valkyries
34:34Their ability
34:35To force difficult shots
34:37Limit the tempo
34:38To one shot on defense
34:39And then come back
34:40On the other end
34:41And just continue
34:42To relentlessly attack
34:43The offensive glass
34:44A much better job
34:45With that defensive effort
34:46They look much more connected
34:48With the way
34:48That they're talking it up
34:49They're just on a string
34:51They're rotating
34:53The help is there
34:54When that happens
34:55You just see a different
34:56Type of energy
34:57And movement
34:57On the offensive end
35:02Successful challenge
35:03For Toronto
35:05They will retain
35:06Their challenge
35:07And I believe
35:09Toronto still had
35:09Possession of the ball
35:11When that happened
35:12Either way
35:13Prevents
35:16Toronto taking advantage
35:17Of KT being on the floor
35:18And Marina Mabry
35:19Listen
35:19She'll speak her mind
35:20That's great
35:21One of the great
35:22Personalities in this league
35:24I love
35:25I love the new
35:25The new movement
35:26Though for
35:27People with flop
35:28It's a flop
35:29And she's so adamant
35:30About it
35:30She's like
35:30She's flopping
35:32And I don't think
35:32It was a flop
35:33I really do believe
35:33I really do believe
35:34Is like you said
35:34The collision
35:35And the momentum
35:36Of KT's body
35:37The Valkyries
35:38Don't have floppers
36:07On this roster
36:09Offensive rebound
36:37Offensive rebound
36:39And that's what we do
36:39And that's what we do
36:39That's our identity
36:40So we gotta get back to that
36:41Thanks
36:41Good luck
36:43Offensive foul
36:44Against the Tempo
36:45And Toronto was
36:45One for six
36:46With two turnovers
36:47To close out that first half
36:48And it was something
36:50You notice
36:50With the Valkyries
36:52Able to get down the floor
36:53And Toronto unable
36:54To set their defense
36:55There were looks
36:55At the rim
36:56And also the Valkyries
36:57Just attacking
36:58And getting into
36:58The free throw line
36:59Yeah
36:59The way that the Valkyries
37:01Were going downhill
37:02Getting into that paint
37:03With so much force
37:04But also
37:05It was how they were
37:06Spacing the floor
37:07Doing a good job
37:08Of leaving that key open
37:09Four players
37:10With six points
37:10For the Valkyries
37:11But it's along
37:12With a KT
37:13Oh pipe in
37:14Another three
37:15The Valkyries
37:16Take back the lead
37:17It's good to see
37:18Those threes
37:19Fall once again
37:20For KT
37:21In this second half
37:22She is shooting
37:23A phenomenal 15
37:24Of 29
37:26From three
37:27Over the last six games
37:28Oh Gabby
37:29With the steal
37:30Coast to coast
37:31Yo Gabby
37:33Gabby
37:38The Tempo
37:39Need to pause
37:40For a beat
37:41They call a timeout
37:42Valkyries
37:43Immediately
37:43Sees control
37:45Of this game
37:46They come out
37:48Blazing here
37:48To start the second half
37:49And you saw it
37:51KT
37:51Feeling good
37:52From the outside
37:53To start the second half
37:55And then Gabby
37:56With a fantastic read
37:58On the defensive end
37:59Finishing all the way
38:00At the other end
38:09Welcome back
38:10Valkyries lead by four
38:11They have forced
38:12Two turnovers
38:13Of the Tempo
38:14To start the second half
38:15And Matt Lively
38:16That is the conversation
38:17You had with
38:17Kasib Powell
38:18I mean
38:19Did he not draw that up
38:20Perfectly
38:21He said it all relies
38:22On our defense
38:22Two turnovers
38:245-0 run
38:25Valkyries have the lead
38:27After trailing by as many
38:29As 13 in the second half
38:30They force a third turnover
38:32Oh it's a slippery basketball
38:34Out there for the Tempo
38:35And it all started
38:36With that ball pressure
38:37As soon as that ball
38:38Got even near Gabby
38:40Williams
38:40You saw those active hands
38:42Tough for them
38:43To make a pass anywhere
38:44We saw that adjustment
38:46In the second quarter
38:47After the Tempo
38:49Got to that lead
38:50They were flying around
38:51With their passes
38:52Knocking down the threes
38:53As Valkyries have stymied
38:54Their ball movement
38:55Gabby Williams
38:56Takes it to the weight room
38:58Even that
38:59A little DHO action
39:00Between Gabby Williams
39:02And Veronica Burton
39:02To the basket
39:04Saboli inside
39:05To Mabry
39:06Mabry trying to fight
39:08For the bucket
39:08Gets the foul
39:10That's a few words
39:11Afterwards
39:12And Mabry will go
39:13To the free throw line
39:15Fouls against Burton
39:16And you see
39:17Once again
39:18On the offensive end
39:19The DHO
39:20With Burton
39:21And Williams
39:22Even being pushed outside
39:24And still got that one
39:25Off the glass
39:26And then there
39:27They're calling that one
39:28On Veronica Burton
39:31Did I say a lot there
39:33Yeah
39:34There's my analysis
39:38Mabry completes
39:39The three-point play
39:39She's got ten points
39:40Second Tempo player
39:42In double figures
39:42They're led by Conde
39:43With 11 at the moment
39:46With Burton
39:46That's her second personal
39:48She's got four assists
39:50Kicks it out
39:51Stokes
39:52Thought about it
39:52For a moment
39:53Gabby
39:53Defended by Conde
39:54Inside
39:55Kia
39:55Rises up
39:56Saboli
39:57Comes over
39:57Excellent defense there
39:59Wow
39:59Great help
40:00By Saboli
40:00To get that block
40:01Conde
40:01Going down the floor
40:02Picks up the dribble
40:03Tempo
40:05Balkyries get a little
40:06Overextended
40:06And Saboli
40:07To the rim
40:07For two
40:08Getting that steal
40:10And then attacking
40:11The basket
40:11Saboli
40:12That's how she started
40:13The game
40:13Look at how fast
40:14VB hustled down
40:16The floor
40:16With the ball
40:17Gets into the set
40:17Flips it
40:18KT
40:18She's had the hot hand
40:20Oh
40:20Drops in
40:21Another rainbow
40:23The rotation
40:24On that basketball
40:25When it leaves
40:26Those fingertips
40:27Is absolutely beautiful
40:29She's got 12 points
40:30Four of five
40:31From three
40:32And Mabry
40:32With another lay in
40:33Wow
40:34What a finish
40:35High off the glass
40:36For Mabry
40:40KT
40:40The best shooting stretch
40:42She's had
40:43From outside this season
40:44Arguably over the last
40:45Six games
40:45KT
40:46Oh
40:46Some
40:47Bully
